Description
Summary:Around the seventies, in the faculties of architecture in Argentina, diverse experiences emerged that sought to rethink education in architecture in connection with the processes of political radicalization. Teaching proposals that aimed to resignify the political sense of disciplinary knowledge and professional practices in connection with social movements. Much has been written about the Taller Total de Córdoba, the first and most prolific of experiences, however, it was not the only one, because in Buenos Aires, Rosario and La Plata it is possible to trace similar debates and initiatives that sought to rethink the training and its links with the social problems of the habitat. This article seeks to reconstruct the general context of crisis in training, institutions and the professional sector, which these radical experiences are going through. Investigating the specialized magazines of the time and archival documents, he aims to return once more to a historical moment of great social conflict, which still generates conflicting re-readings and glimpses current dilemmas in architecture schools. https://id.caicyt.gov.ar/ark:/s22508112/yjxxn79h3
