The objective of this subject is to know the architecture of all times, to continue thinking about history, not to forget it. Learn how to ask questions at historical sites, to solve current problems.
The most important thing for us is to force them to observe, arouse their curiosity, and enjoy architecture. Also be active, intelligent, thoughtful, autonomous.
We will learn about ancient and modern architecture. There are no cuts in history, which separate or divide periods or places.
Finally, history cannot be learned only with the resources offered by the classroom. You have to experience, live, touch, discover. We must be able to offer the city of Barcelona, ​​​​with all its richness and architectural diversity, as a classroom, also in history subjects.
We are going to present the story with a Mediterranean vision. The Mediterranean as a space of relationship and source of culture, origin and reference of modernity.
Contemplating history from a contemporary point of view implies doing it with a criterion of sustainability, the search for balance with nature, and attention to the most heartbreaking social problems of the moment.
