Authors: A. Fountoulakis , M Kalathaki
Published: December 2019

In order to fill the positions of the executives of the public education, and in particular for the selection of Directors of Secondary General Education Schools, teachers of public Education are selected on the basis of tables that drawn up according to the provisions of the respective laws. The research aimed to analyze the issue of evaluation/assessment of the professional profile of the School Directors-Candidates in Secondary Education, with the synthesis of the assessing criteria used in the last 20 years in Greece by the Ministry of Education in order to create, as result, an assessing tool for the selection of school directors. Through the research it is attempted to highlight how professionally structured the Greek legislation requires to be the Directors of Secondary Education, i.e. how scientifically and pedagogically trained (I), how its administrative and downstream experience (II) is valued and how their Personality (III) are.The results of the research are pictured in the ‘Assessing Tool for the Candidate School Director's Professional Profile', in Secondary Education.
Open Literacy: Helen of Troy, Richard Hoggart, Phonic Wars, Greta Thunberg
Authors: Hartley John
Published: December 2019

Social media and videogames are often blamed for individual behavioural delinquency, but rarely praised for cultural creativity, social innovation, or helping us to form new social groups or work through new ideas. Videogames are now a political football, both in the US (where they’re blamed for gun crime) and in China (where they’re blamed for childhood myopia). Every new media form has grown up surrounded by those wanting to control it.

Popular literacy has never been free and open. Popular novels and the press; cinema and TV; and more recently digital and social media, have all attracted the wrath of incumbent commercial, government or social interests. But in the era of open access, open science, open knowledge, what about open literacy? Can it be extended to whole populations, across demographic borders, at global scale, for purposeless but nevertheless pedagogic play, and for social innovation? Or will it, like predecessor forms, be dismissed as a delinquent waste of time or commodified instrument for profit, power and mass persuasion?

Desafíos acerca del afrontamiento a enfermedades crónicas incapacitantes desde la empresa. Trabajadores con cáncer, y con dignidad
Authors: Molina Jorge
Published: December 2019

Este artículo presenta una reflexión acerca de las nociones y estilos de afrontamiento, que, desde la empresa u organización tiene ante la presencia de un trabajador o trabajadora con enfermedades crónicas incapacitantes. Se analiza a la luz de un caso, donde una trabajadora padece de cáncer, y como la empresa donde labora, desde las diferentes esferas de su arquitectura organizacional responde ante la situación. Se argumenta la necesidad de comprender las enfermedades crónicas, desde una visión humanizada del recurso humano, enfatizando en su dignidad, y dando respuesta a las nuevas reformas del Código Laboral, relacionadas a la estabilidad laboral de personas con padecimientos de enfermedades crónicas. Por último, se plantea una propuesta dirigida al área de recursos humanos dentro de la empresa u organización, enfocada en proteger a sus trabajadores y en hacer frente a los retos que plantean las enfermedades crónicas e incapacitantes no solo a nivel individual, sino social, y en este caso, laboral.

Witnessing Indigenous Dispossession and Academic Arboricide: Visual Auto-Ethnography as Anti-Colonial Didactic
Authors: Metcalfe Amy Scott
Published: December 2019

Indigenous and non-Indigenous academics are witnesses to the “more than human” ecological impacts of the academic condition, such as the deforestation that occurs in relation to infrastructure expansion of campus sites. In this essay, I use auto-ethnographic photography to evoke the necessity of academic answerability by framing the act of deforestation within the academic boundary as that of land theft and ecological conquest, with political, cultural, and epistemic implications. My visual narrative about my employing university begins with an archival image from the time of the clearing of the campus site, and is sustained by a visual inquiry process that examines the liminal zones of the campus as it expands into the surrounding forest. My intention in this photography-led research practice is to “witness” campus deforestation, seeing it as part and parcel of the colonial academic enterprise in situ.
Investment Cash Flow Sensitivity and Tobin’s Q: The Case of Advanced Emerging Markets in Latin America
Authors: Figlioli Bruno , Lima Fabiano Guasti
Published: December 2019

This paper examines whether the capital market and the internal generation of cash flows bring relevant information to decisions on corporate investments. For this investigation, we used data from 255 companies located in four Latin American (LA) countries: Brazil, Chile, Mexico and Peru (BCMP countries). The analysis period is from 2000 to 2017. The results indicate that cash flow represents one of the main drivers of corporate investments. In contrast, there were no indications that the capital market translates into a mechanism for transmitting useful information to firm managers about investments. Other drivers of value identified are associated with sales, cash and cash equivalents, and asset tangibility.
Do Jumps and Co-jumps Improve Volatility Forecasting of Oil and Currency Markets?
Authors: Jawadi Fredj , Louhichi Waël , Ameur Hachmi Ben , Ftiti Zied
Published: December 2019

This paper aims at modeling and forecasting volatility in both oil and USD exchange rate markets using high frequency data. We test whether extreme co-move-ments (co-jumps) between these markets, as well as intraday unexpected news, help to improve volatility forecasting or not. Accordingly, we propose different extensions of Corsi (2009)’s model by including co-jumps and news. Our analysis provides two interesting findings. First, we find that both markets exhibit significant co-jumps driven by unexpected macroeconomic news. Second, we show that our model outperforms Corsi (2009)’s model and provides more accurate forecasts. In particular, while co-jumps constitute a key variable in forecasting oil price volatility, the unexpected news is relevant to forecasts of USD exchange rate volatility.
On the Oil Price Uncertainty
Authors: Ftiti Zied , Jawadi Fredj
Published: December 2019

This study focuses on oil price volatility and uncertainty over the period January 1986-December 2018, covering episodes of oil price increases and collapses. Accordingly, in line with Poon and Granger (2003), and Teräsvirta and Zhao (2011), we propose three different specifications of stochastic oil volatility: standard stochastic volatility, stochastic volatility moving average, leverage stochastic volatility models. We compute the out-of-sample forecasts for the uncertainty in oil prices using the estimates for these three stochastic oil price volatility models and we discuss its effects. Our findings show that the standard stochastic volatility model outperforms the other two models when focusing on oil price uncertainty. This finding is relevant to better forecast and understand the effects of oil price uncertainty on the real economy.
On the CO2 Emissions Determinants During the EU ETS Phases I and II: A Plant-level Analysis Merging the EUTL and Platts Power Data
Authors: Chèze Benoit , Chevallier Julien , Berghmans Nicolas , Alberola Emilie
Published: December 2019

This article studies ex-post the CO2 emissions determinants during 2005-2012 by resorting to an original database merging the European Union Transaction Log (EUTL) with the World Electric Power Plants (WEPP) database maintained by Platts. We estimate the main drivers of CO2 emissions for the 1,453 power plants included in the EU ETS using plant-level panel data. During phases I and II, there has been a debate about whether the economic crisis was ultimately the only factor behind the fall in CO2 emissions. We find that the EU ETS kept some degree of effectiveness but only during phase I (2005-07). During phase II (2008-12), its impact has been largely impeded by the deep economic recession in 2008-2009 which became the leading cause of the emissions reduction. We disentangle the analysis not only by periods but also for each type of power plants. We conclude that the EU Commission’s flagship climate policy could and should be enhanced by better coordination of overlapping climate policies.
Policy and Theoretical Implications of the Zero-subsidy Bids in the German Offshore Wind Tenders
Authors: Greve Thomas , Rocha Marta
Published: December 2019

The German offshore wind tender, launched in April 2017, resulted in three out of the four winning projects being delivered with zero subsidies, relying only on the wholesale price. This result has been regarded as a turning point for the industry.

This paper analyses the 2017/18 German offshore wind tenders and the bidding strategies of the winning developers. We then propose a re-design of the tenders with the aim of achieving optimality/zero-subsidies and efficiency - two key properties in mechanism design. The paper contributes to the discussion on how to design offshore wind tenders with both a policy and theoretical perspective. This is of particular relevance given the rapid expansion of this type of investment in Europe and the use of auctions to select developers.
Social Innovations in Enterprise as a Tool of Activating Professionally Inactive People With Disabilities
Authors: Bukowska Urszula
Published: December 2019

The contemporary labor market creates challenges for employers who experience
insufficient labor supply. There are many reasons for this situation, and one of them is
a large group of professionally inactive people. There are people with disabilities among
them. It is assumed that moving these people to the professionally active group may be
caused not only by macroeconomic and macro-social activities but also by the initiative
of an employer implementing social innovations. The purpose of the article is to identify
social innovation thus increasing the availability of jobs for the disabled in Poland,
to determine their types, as well as to determine the process of creating social innovation.

their commitment to work, and thus their salaries and productivity. The values of
Ukrainian citizens working in Poland have so far been little explored. Therefore, the aim
of the article is to get to know these values and to compare them with the values professed
by working Poles. The text uses the results of research contained in the literature,
conducted mainly in Poland, as well as the author’s own research.
On the Role of the Human Resource Management System
Authors: Witczak Hubert
Published: December 2019

The HRM (Human Resource Management) system is a subsystem of any action system
(AS). There is a cognitive and scientific “problem of the role of the human resource
management system” within AS. The objective of this paper is determining whether the
unique system characteristics and role of HRM are reflected in shaping the HRM system,
and particularly in its structure. The relationships of the system characteristics and role of
HRM to its shaping and structure has not been fully recognized scientifically. It is claimed
here that the HRM subsystem is the most important and well-adjusted subsystem of any
AS, and that the HR system should be managed according to the principles of unique dialectic
management, paradox and chaos management. The paper deals with the following
domains: material – AS category; 2) objective – “HRM system” category; 3) universality of
time and space. The paper employs a praxeological and systematic approach, prognostic
methodology and hypothetical-deductive reasoning.

Authors: Król Małgorzata
Published: December 2019

The article discusses the need to stimulate the professional activity of older people. As
a premise for such activities, demographic factors indicating the reduction and aging of
labor resources and low professional activity of older people were indicated. The article
is based on the analysis of literature and statistical data and presents a part of research
carried out among people aged 50+. The presented part of the research concerns the perception
of selected solutions by people aged 50+ as instruments supporting the continuation
of professional activity by the elderly. Based on the obtained results, it was found out
that: gender differentiates the assessment of solutions, introducing flexible working time
is the solution most often indicated as supporting professional activity, while the leastindicated
solution is the possibility of changing the profession by employees performing
work requiring physical effort.
Professional Development as Determinant of Polish Emigration and the Possibility of its Implementation Abroad
Authors: Wesołowska Małgorzata
Published: December 2019

The aim of the article is to assess the impact of emigration on the level of acquiring new or expanding existing knowledge and skills. The survey made it possible to get answers from 160 respondents, Poles, who have been abroad for at least 12 months. The obtained results indicate that nearly every fourth respondent, deciding on emigration, was guided by the desire to acquire new or develop the existing competences, and almost every fifth expressed the desire to work in an international environment. 84% of respondents declare acquisition or development of knowledge and skills, which are used by most of the respondents in their present job thanks to working abroad. Every third respondent also indicates that she/he wants to return to her/his home country or go to another third country. This means that migration contributes to the enrichment of human capital and the brain circulation between countries.

Authors: Jabłońska-Wołoszyn Maria
Published: December 2019

Transformations in the environment of the Polish Armed Forces imply the need
to adapt and take actions anticipating these changes in order to create conditions for
the efficient operation and development of the army. This raises the need to rebuild the
structures and resources available to the army and to improve the personnel process. One
of the contemporary challenges concerning human resources management in the army is
the management of generation Y, the characteristics of which present an opportunity for
the development of the organisation, but may also pose a problem. The aim of the article is
to present the results of the research on the issue of age management in the army from the
perspective of generation Y management conditions. The author analyses the strengths
and weaknesses of generation Y in the army and then defines the opportunities for and
threats to the achievement of the objectives of the Polish Armed Forces. As a result, she

which are important from the perspective of the proper use of this generation’s potential.
Selected Practices of Human Resource Management
in Social Enterprises
Authors: Gach Daniel
Published: December 2019

Entrepreneurship as a social phenomenon, although strongly associated with running
profitable business operations is also used in relation to other forms of human activity.
At different times, the approach based on creativity, activity and innovation was used by
people to solve social problems as well, but this aspect of using entrepreneurship was only
a small part of its use. Although the concept of social entrepreneurship already appeared
in practice and was included in literature in the 1970s, its understanding and application
was of limited character. The development and wider use of the assumptions of this
concept took place in the 1990s. It can be pointed out that these actions were a response
to the social demand of that time, because one of the effects of technological progress
in the field of computerization, robotization and automation was the increasing number of
people threatened by structural unemployment and exclusion. Hence the need to look for
effective solutions to emerging social problems appeared, and the decisive roles in these
activities played (and continue to play) innovation and entrepreneurship. The effect was
the shaping of the concept of social economy, and within it social entrepreneurship and
social enterprises. The publication presents the essence and regional diversity of social
enterprises and the specificity of human resources within them. The publication is
supplemented with examples of “smart practices” used in human resources management,
and aimed at creating social and economic values in social enterprises.
Management of Mature Employee Career at Various Stages of Their Professional Activity
Authors: Kądziołka-Sabanty Hanna
Published: December 2019

In the labor market, we have recently observed many changes concerning the area of demography (aging of the population), shortages of employees. In organizations, more and more often we work in teams diverse in terms of age and cultures. The percentage of employees about to retire is increasing, as well as those who use the opportunity to work while collecting a pension. In the event of problems with recruiting specialists and the occupational potential of employees retiring, an important issue may be the answer to the question: “Whether in the management of employees’ careers should be included
in their preparation for professional activity also in the period of retirement or even retirement?”. One of the career definitions treats it as a continuous process, referring not only to professional advancement, but also social one (Penc, 2003).
Educational Employment Support for People Aged 55+
Authors: Jeruszka Urszula
Published: December 2019

One of the key problems of Polish labor market is the aging of the work resources. Many
employers guided by the perception about the homogeneity of the population of people
55+ does not want to employ them, believing that the older people are unproductive, work
slower and their employment will result in higher absenteeism rates for employers and
higher labor costs. In the article an issue of support to the employment of people over 55
is discussed. The aim of the article is an indication of the potential ways to sustain and
extend their working lives. The question has become out-of-school activities in the area
of professional education – training, coaching and mentoring inverted as a method of
improving competence or offset the deficits of competence of older workers. The article
presents the analysis of the literature, research results of GUS and personal research and
other authors.

Authors: Lewicka Dagmara , Pec Monika , Wilk Aleksandra
Published: December 2019

The aim of the article is to find an answer to the question how to shape the perception of the remuneration policy for employees, so that it is perceived as just, acceptable and motivating. It is interesting how the issue of justice is perceived and its impact on the motivation in the organization, where the majority of employees’ needs are satisfied at an above-average level. Therefore, the company was selected for the study, which can be qualified as one of the “best employers”, which is confirmed by, among others: high employment stability, above-average earnings obtained by employees and exceptional
care for their development. For the purposes of the study objective, semi-structured interviews were conducted with serial employees of this entity (n = 12).
Sirt3 regulates the level of mitochondrial DNA repair activity through deacetylation of NEIL1, NEIL2, OGG1, MUTYH, APE1 and LIG3 in colorectal cancer
Authors: Kabziński Jacek , Walczak Anna , Mik Michał , Majsterek Ireneusz
Published: December 2019

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignant tumors. One of the factors increasing the risk of its occurrence may be the reduced efficiency of repairing DNA damage, both nuclear and mitochondrial. The main mechanism for repairing oxidative damage is the BER system (in mitochondria mtBER), whose key proteins NEIL1, NEIL2, OGG1, MUTYH, APE1 and LIG3 obtain full efficiency only at the appropriate level of acetylation. Sirtuin 3 is a key protein for mitochondrial homeostasis, regulating a number of metabolic processes related mainly to the control of the level of reactive oxygen species. Because Sirt3 possesses acetylase activity, it can modulate the level of activity of mtBER proteins by their deacetylation. The conducted study showed that the tested proteins NEIL1, NEIL2, OGG1, MUTYH, APE1 and LIG3 are the substrate for the enzymatic deacetylation activity of Sirt3, which may lead to modulation of the risk of CRC, and in cancer cells may be a potential therapeutic target enhancing the action of cytostatic drugs.
A systematic review and meta-analysis of laparoscopic versus robotic rectal surgery with primary anastomosis
Authors: Rubinkiewicz Mateusz , Witowski Jan , Zbroja Karolina , Rozmus Kamil , Krzywoń Julia , Truszkiewicz Katarzyna
Published: December 2019

Purpose: Rectal cancer is one of the most common malignancies of the gastrointestinal tract. The gold standard method is surgical resection. The approach to rectal cancer is still controversial. Nowadays, robotic approach gains popularity in comparison to traditional laparoscopy. However, there is lack of studies assessing rectal resections with primary anastomosis.

Methods: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis according to the PRISMA guidelines. The primary outcomes of interest were morbidity and short-term complications.

Results: An initial reference search yielded 1250 articles. Finally, we chose six studies covering 1580 patients that we included in the quantitative analysis. In our study, we demonstrated that laparoscopic and robotic surgery are non-inferior to one another in terms of morbidity (RR=1.1 95% CI: 0.89-1.39), major complication rate (RR=1.01, 95% CI: 0.60-1.69) or in length of hospitalization (MD=0,15 95% CI: -0.60−0.90). The latter has slight advantage in quality of mesorectal excision (RD = -0.19, 95% CI: -0.35 − -0.03. I2=69%) and anastomotic leakage rate (OR=2.25, 95% CI: 1.23-4.09, I2=0%).

Conclusion: In certain cases Robotic Surgery provide better quality of resected specimen and lower leakage ratio, nevertheless due to heterogeneity the results are uncertain. There is substantial need for large randomized controlled studies.
Ring-Fencing in Europe
Authors: Oppolzer Konstantin
Published: December 2019

Bank structural reforms that stipulate the separation of retail and investment banking and that can collectively be referred to as ‘ring-fencing’ have been among the most controversial regulations since the financial crisis. This study explores legal developments in the European Union in this regard as well as national legislation in the United Kingdom, Germany and Switzerland.
The study contributes to the terminology and classification of existing and future ring-fencing initiatives and paints a comprehensive picture of current developments and prospects on an EU level in this respect. It furthermore highlights structural differences in the national approaches of Europe’s three most important financial centres, and casts light on Switzerland’s unique ring-fencing efforts that have been barely recognised internationally.
This study was recognised with the Austrian Award for Insolvency Law.
Eine Pflicht zum Finanzausgleich innerhalb der Europäischen Union?
Authors: Kroll Katrin
Published: December 2019

Is the EU obliged to issue financial compensation to its Member States? Is such an obligation stipulated in the EU’s primary treaties, or demanded by its federal structure or by the principle of democracy itself? In this study, after examining the current situation in this respect, the author addresses these questions from a legal perspective especially, while also taking approaches and concepts from political science, finance and economics into account. In doing so, she comes to the conclusion that the EU is actually not obliged to issue such compensation, but that the foundations of its treaties and its federal structure do open up far-reaching opportunities in this regard. Moreover, an ordered and durable system of financial compensation can also prevent the entire system from becoming destabilised if one or several of the EU’s Member States find themselves in severe financial difficulties.
Wikipedia como recurso para la alfabetización mediática arquitectónica
Authors: Santamarina-Macho Carlos
Published: December 2019

Los medios digitales se han convertido en la fuente de información principal para muchos estudiantes de arquitectura, que recurren a blogs, redes sociales, buscadores de contenidos… para documentarse. Sin embargo, ante la ingente cantidad de información disponible, no siempre son capaces de identificar las fuentes de mayor calidad ni de gestionar adecuadamente los recursos obtenidos. Utilizando como soporte una de estos recursos digitales de uso habitual, la Wikipedia, se propone un proyecto formativo que incide sobre la necesaria adquisición de competencias mediáticas e informacionales por parte de los estudiantes, y su específica aplicación dentro del campo de la arquitectura. A través del análisis de los contenidos que esta enciclopedia ofrece sobre determinadas referencias arquitectónicas, se pretende que el estudiante adquiera una actitud crítica ante su entorno arquitectónico digital, y pueda contribuir a su mejora.

Digital media has become the main source of information for many architecture students, who use blogs, social networks, search engines ... to get information. However, given the huge amount of resources available, they are not always able to identify the highest quality sources or properly manage the obtained data. Using Wikipedia, one of these digital sources which is frequently used by the students, as the main tool, a training project which aims to provide them with the necessary architectural media and informational skills, is proposed. Through the analysis of the information about certain architectural references in this digital encyclopedia, it is intended that the student not only acquires a critical attitude towards his digital architectural environment but may also contribute to its improvement.
Aprendiendo a proyectar: entre el 1:2000 y el 1:20
Authors: Riewe Roger , Ros Ballesteros Jordi , Vidal Martínez Marisol , Linares de la Torre Óscar
Published: December 2019

El objetivo del presente artículo es exponer la metodología y los resultados de una experiencia docente compartida entre el IAT/TU Graz y la ETSAB/UPC desde mediados de Enero hasta a finales de Junio de 2019. Según esta metodología experimental, el alumnado debe aprender a desarrollar su propuesta arquitectónica atendiendo a diferentes escalas simultáneamente: tanto la escala 1/2000, que permite trabajar en la relación del proyecto con el lugar, como la escala 1/20, que permite definir los sistemas tecnológicos (construcción, estructura, energía) del proyecto. De esta manera, el proceso proyectual  no se entiende como la suma de diferentes disciplinas (urbanismo, diseño espacial, construcción, estructuras, instalaciones, etc.) que pueden introducirse de manera independiente en diferentes momentos sino como un todo, donde lugar y tecnología son interdependientes y de cuya interdependencia surge un potencial a menudo infrautilizado como generador de proyecto.

The aim of this article is to present the methodology and results of a teaching experience shared by the IAT/TU Graz and the ETSAB/UPC  from mid-January to the end of June 2019. According to this experimental methodology, students had to  to develop their architectural proposal by working at all different scales simultaneously: from the 1/2000 scale, which allows dealing with the relationship of the project with the place, to the 1/20 scale, optimal for defining the technological systems (construction, structure, energy, etc.) of the proposal. The design process was hence not understood as a sequence of independent disciplines (urban planning, spatial design, construction, structures, etc.) but as an indivisible whole. Through this holistic approach, students tried to tap the often underused potential laying in the interdependency of place and technology as a design generator for their projects.

La base pedagógica se ha centrado en el análisis de la noción de forma como sistema de relaciones visuales. La forma así entendida, caracteriza la mejor arquitectura del siglo XX.

This paper aims to show the way UPC research group “Form” has developed education in the field of Architectural Design through a specific methodology, both on a teaching and research way, addressed to international professorship. The international nature of postgraduate students has led to orientate their education on teaching and research, either on Master or on PhD courses, in an International approach of   Modern Architecture.  Thereby, students who have become university teachers are today in charge of the research lines following the guidelines learned during their studies. Those lines have formed a teaching corpus spread through a wide network of international connections linked to the research, recovering and communication of modern heritage. Pedagogical basis is focused on the investigation of the idea of Form as a visual relationship system. That concept of Form distinguishes the best XXth century architecture.

El empleo de una metodología didáctica a través del “design/built” en la asignatura de proyectos arquitectónicos, dentro de los primeros años de carrera, estimula al estudiante y lo acerca a la realidad de los objetos y espacios ideados. La incorporación de un sistema de exposición y selección interna, permite igualmente desarrollar habilidades competitivas y ensayar procesos cercanos a la vida profesional. La experiencia que ahora presentamos nos ha permitido vincular nuestro proyecto docente con la convocatoria Solar Decathlon Europa 2019 –uno de los concursos universitarios de mayor relevancia internacional en torno a la construcción de prototipos de espacios habitables sostenibles– cerrando un ciclo metodológico en el que concurso y metodología “desing/built” se convierten en marco, objeto, proceso y finalidad del aprendizaje. El concurso como método de enseñanza, la construcción como finalidad del concurso.

The use of design/built methodology, in the years of education in architectural projects, stimulates the students and brings them closer to real objects and their spatial desings. Incorporating internal exhibition and selection systems allows them to increase their proficiency skills and rehearse closer real professional life. The experience we present now allows us to connect our educational project with Solar Decathlon 2019 –one of the world's leading competitions on sustainable housing prototypes– closing a methodological circle where the competition and the design/built methodology become a frame, object, procces and target of learning. Competition like learning method, the construction like contest target.
Transversality and Common Ground between Architecture, Design Thinking and Teaching Innovation
Authors: Sádaba Fernández Juan
Published: December 2019

We are currently facing a new social and technological situation that demands a different and renewed approach to the way we teach architecture and design as a whole. It is not the first time that the economic and social situation triggers a crucial shift in the way we understand this matter. Learning from the Bauhaus (stepping onto industrial design), the school of Ulm (new step onto non-tangible design) and Design Thinking as an outcome and commercial product consequence of the ‘design rationale’ of those years of the twentieth century, we can build over the foundations of the classical architecture design studio practice, a set of exercises, methodologies and a general approach in order to handle the future of architectural teaching. Today, we can merge the experiences of Bauhaus and Ulm, Design Thinking and the classical architectural teaching to frame a coherent and holistic approach to architecture and design.

This article details and analyzes the methodology, structure and tools used during this pedagogical experiment focused on critical positioning in front of the contemporary city and based on student self-exploration, and collaborative learning in the classroom through digital tools focused on the professional world.
Del lenguaje básico de las formas a la estética de la experiencia
Authors: Ríos Vizcarra Gonzalo , Coll Pla Sergio

Desde una revisión crítica a la vigencia de los métodos tradicionales de enseñanza de la arquitectura, deducimos que los que hacían referencia al lenguaje visual de las formas abstractas habían llegado a nosotros desprovistos de su esencia fundacional y se sustentaban únicamente en su virtud para revelar la sintaxis de sus elementos básicos. El retorno a literatura germinal vanguardista nos corroboró que estos métodos nos ofertaba también el derrotero para entender  la arquitectura a partir de los fenómenos que se suscitaban con el observador. Ello nos pareció sumamente estimulante para establecer vínculos entre estos métodos y los que se derivan de la concepción fenomenológica que reconoce a la experiencia como generativa de una estética formal. El desierto de “Toro muerto” en Arequipa plagado de una ingente cantidad de petroglifos, sirvió como un lienzo de posibilidades para que, a través de plataformas que enhebraban una narrativa, la arquitectura acontezca como una consecuencia del desplazamiento.

Des d'una revisió crítica a la vigència dels mètodes tradicionals d'ensenyament de l'arquitectura, deduïm que els que feien referència al llenguatge visual de les formes abstractes havien arribat a nosaltres desproveïts de la seva essència fundacional i se sustentaven únicament en la seva virtut per revelar la sintaxi dels seus elements bàsics. El retorn a literatura germinal avantguardista ens va corroborar que aquests mètodes ens oferia també el rumb per entendre l'arquitectura a partir dels fenòmens que se suscitaven amb l'observador. Això ens va semblar summament estimulant per establir vincles entre aquests mètodes i els que es deriven de la concepció fenomenològica que reconeix a l'experiència com generativa d'una estètica formal. El desert de "Toro muerto" a Arequipa ple d'una ingent quantitat de petroglifs, va servir com un llenç de possibilitats perquè, a través de plataformes que enllaçaben una narrativa, l'arquitectura, esdevingui com una conseqüència del desplaçament.

Nowadays, is necessary to make a critical revision of the traditional methods in architectural learning. Visual language methods of abstracts forms arrive to us without fundamental essence. The traditional methods reveal basic elements by them self. The initial avant-guard literature allow us to architectural understanding through observer reaction. The aim of article is to establish links between traditional methods and the methods drift of esperience of formal aesthetic. The “Toro Muerto” desert with many petroglyph is an ideal place to form architectural speeches as a displacement result.

La materia del área de Composición Arquitectónica muchas veces es percibida por los alumnos como algo complejo y de difícil aplicación. Nosotros como docentes sabemos que esto no es así, y que su aplicación práctica es inmediata. La mejor manera para que nuestros alumos lo comprueben en visitando grandes ejemplos arquitectónicos. Ellos harán trabajos previos antes de su visita y así percibirán en directo lo aprendido en clase. Además compartiremos estas visitas y experiencia con alumnos y profesores de otras Unversidades. Esta fusión, de alumnos y profesores de distintos centros, será más enriquecedora y mejorará la adquisición de conocimientos por parte de nuestros alumnos.

The subject of the area of Architectural Composition is often perceived by students as something complex and difficult to apply. We as teachers know that this is not the case, and that its practical application is immediate. The best way for our students to check it by visiting great architectural examples. They will do previous work before their visit and so they will perceive live what they learned in class. We will also share these visits and experience with students and professors from other universities. This fusion, of students and teachers from different centers, will be more enriching and will improve the acquisition of knowledge by our students.
