Resumen
The methodology exposed on this paper has been applied in the subject of "Theory of Architecture" in the sixth semester of the Degree in Architecture of the School of Architecture in the University of A Coruña during the 2016-17 course. The exercise is based on "Project-Based Learning" (ABP) and the objective is that students understand the content of architectural theory as a necessary and effective tool when designing. The approach is as follows: professors select and propose the reading of a relevant theoretical text to each group, selected from the contents of the course. Theoretical contributions between the early manifestations of the Avant-Garde and the end of the hegemony of the Modernism have special importance in these texts. Students must establish a relationship between fundamental concepts from the text and a building by another author, they propose, to make connections between theoretical ideas and an architectural project. Once the choice of the building is accepted, its analysis is carried out from fundamental ideas of the assigned text using graphic tools that are typical of our discipline. In this process, results are open and unpredictable although they are always the result of a rigorous approach.
