Abstract


Approaches to architectural history teaching were being subjected to changes related to different interests during the last few years: evolution of practice and technologies that rule our discipline, and, sudden vicissitudes modifying the social and productive role of the architect. This paper poses different ways of viewing history in the recent past and its present role as regards the new paradigm in which we are inserted. We face the abandonment of constituent aspects of our disciplinary tradition which leads, on one hand, to renewed alternative explorations and, on the other, to a massive feeling of heritage recovery. These alternatives encourage the development of strategies allowing the creation of a new didactics able not only to deal with new challenges but also to reassure our specificity.
