Abstract

The subject Architectural Graphic Expression 1, heiress of its predecessor, Descriptive Geometry, was born in the Architecture degree of the University of Granada with a clear two-pronged approach: teaching, based on the teaching-learning of geometric shapes from architectural references of historical or contemporary heritage, and the research, raised through the realization of a final monographic practice, about one of the surfaces studied in the subject, which must include graphic and formal interpretations of the works selected by students, allowing them to develop their imagination, creativity and spatial vision. In this article, a review of the different learning tools, techniques for the same science –Descriptive Geometry– is carried out, emphasizing, in any case, that the use of examples of heritage architectures facilitates, without a doubt, the understanding of the different geometric shapes, while increasing the motivation of students towards their knowledge.
