Drawing and Mathematics. An Integrated Teaching
In 2011 it was started, at the School of Architecture of Alcalá, a new course called: Taller de Dibujo II. Its main goal was to convey the importance of studying an architectural object from different points of view. The link would be the geometry, the coordinated subjects: design and mathematics. Teachers from both departments began an integrating task. They had two different ways of understanding teaching. It would be a subject in constant evolution. So we started an educational innovation project, which is ongoing. (UAH / EV519). In the last ten years the importance of the parameterization has grown significantly in fields like design, engineering and architecture. Our School of architecture implemented an interdisciplinary group that was much closer to mathematic geometry and software programming" (Coloma, Mesa 2012). But some experiences around the subject have put their emphasis on tools, neglecting, in our opinion, the methodological basis. Although traditional teaching materials are not fully useful to this new subject, accumulated experiences are very valuable. Grassa-Miranda (2010) regarding the traditional teaching of geometry states that "The grammar or guiding principles of the Spanish sistema diédrico uses the projective schema of a model to build the student"s spatial thinking, while the Anglo-Saxon direct method relies on the reconstruction of a mental image of the geometric configuration" In a similar way, we considered the importance of the object oppossite to the system, or the process. Therefore, the starting points of our methodology are the works of architecture and engineering. Objects with a complex geometry, especially those which curves and surfaces are able to be parameterized. The curve and surface become that way, protagonists of the experience. The next step is to thoroughly analyze through operations of modification and intersection. A good analysis of a work with a complex geometry, involves the preliminary study of the project and the knowledge of the difficulties and intentions ...
