This communication aims to present and discuss the results of a didactic experiment developed in the first year of the master’s degree in architecture at the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Porto (2022–2023), in which hand drawing—both freehand and technical—was explored as a tool for investigation, knowledge acquisition, and spatial skill development.
Building upon the significant collection of drawings created in 1833 by Joaquim Vilanova—an artist and professor at the “Academia Politécnica do Porto”—the curricular units of “Geometry and Architecture” and “Drawing 1”, in collaboration with researchers from the school, presented students with a challenge aimed at reinforcing the complementarity between different architectural graphic expressions.
In a school where hand drawing remains fundamental and the teaching of architecture relies on the structural link between drawing and design, this experiment had a dual objective: to revisit, in the context of pedagogical drawing practices, the graphic work of a renowned 19th-century artist and to promote the relationship between curricular units to broaden and articulate the teaching of graphic expression.
