ABSTRACT
The importance of Tectonics in Architecture finds consensus amongst architects and professionals. Nevertheless, the intricate complexity of its definition can be as faceted and enigmatic as its multiple expressions are, adding difficulty to its understanding. With what didactical method can the depth of Tectonics be taught? How can the acquired knowledge be transferred by the students into their own design projects? A didactic method developed for teaching Tectonics at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts – Engineering & Architecture is exposed with the objective of revealing a possible way of teaching Tectonics. Rather than offering an exhaustive understanding of the meaning of Tectonics, it opens a vision into its relevance, complexity and richness.
