Surfing the Spanish architectural postmodernity from a gender perspective

Abstract

The aim of the Department of Architectural Theory and its teaching activity at the Architecture Degree is to think and invite students to think about architecture. In this process, providing students with unbiased knowledge is mandatory and requires a fundamental shift to consider how to support and, at the same time, reestablish the links with the historical time to which contents refer. This conference paper presents a pedagogical experience that addresses a double implementation in the teaching of our field of knowledge. On the one hand, the mainstreaming of gender perspective, and on the other hand, the use of a mobile application (NAM) as an autonomous learning tool. This software tool brings together works of female architects produced over the postmodern time in Spain. The digital dissemination of this knowledge is a result of the investigation carried out by the research group on architecture and gender to which the lecturers of Architectural Theory belong.
