Architecture is construction

Abstract

This article has as objective to speculate over the value of the constructive processes in the deve- lopment of architectural and urbanism projects, whether in the academic or professional activi- ties. It is questioned the projectual practice and it ́s connections with the work itself, that in turn, if only registered in drawings and images, will not be an example of architecture but a project, important to the development of knowledge and record of its time, but, as it is not materialized, it is impossible to analyze it ́s contribution in the urban space and it ́s performance in the use and post use. Decades of experience of one of the authors and the experience of another young professor that together research the same project made emerge multiples motto for discussion between teaching - learning and the practice of architectural and urbanism projects.
