Abstract

LEGO LAB is a pedagogical experience developed at the university level that investigates how play can stimulate curiosity, creativity and self-learning in adolescents and adults. An experimental process where, through different activities and oriented exercises, the game system with Lego pieces is used as a common thread for learning the tools of architectural graphic expression in new generations of architects. A pedagogical strategy that simultaneously runs through multiple analog and digital processes that are fundamental in the communication and ideation of contemporary architecture.
