Use of Creative Methods Envisioning Innovation on Teaching Architectural Design.

This article discusses the use of creative methods for solving complex problems with a view to innovation in teaching architectural design. If, on the one hand, the word design means both a documentary production that allows to build an object represented as a coordination of actions, the teaching of this process involves a clear position regarding the product and methods compatible with the nature of the didactic problem that is being proposed. Assuming that the methods are the labor techniques employed and the design process is how these are linked through actions, the teaching experiences of the Architectural Design Studio here presented seeks design solutions through the stimulation of creativity and techniques common to Design Thinking in stages and varying scales that form a theoretical and practical study based on "learning by doing".
