This article looks at the evolution of teaching and at the educational experience offered by the Degree Course in Architecture, discussing the notion of the Master as an intellectual guide offering models to imitate, and that of the Master as a figure with the ability to stimulate curiosity and investigation. At a time when the school of architecture in Venice represented a point of reference globally, given the presence of illustrious figures such as Carlo Aymonino and Aldo Rossi, the education system was undergoing a series of changes, marking a transition from the old “mass schooling” to a system more like the one we know today. In this scenario, teaching is increasingly called upon to stimulate a critical process rather than to provide ready-made answers; to encourage the building of new and unexpected relationships.
Il testo propone una riflessione sull’evoluzione dell’insegnamento e sull’esperienza formativa all’interno del Corso di Laurea in Architettura, attraversando l’idea di Maestro inteso come guida intellettuale che offre modelli da imitare e l’idea di Maestro come figura capace di stimolare la curiosità e l’indagine. Nel periodo in cui la scuola di architettura di Venezia rappresentava un punto di riferimento mondiale, grazie alla presenza di figure illustri come Carlo Aymonino e Aldo Rossi, il sistema educativo era soggetto a una serie di mutamenti, delineando il passaggio dalla vecchia “scuola di massa” ad un sistema più vicino a quello attuale. In questo contesto l’insegnamento è chiamato sempre più a stimolare un processo critico più che a fornire risposte definite, incoraggiando la costruzione di relazioni nuove e inattese.

Abstract
This article looks at the evolution of teaching and at the educational experience offered by the Degree Course in Architecture, discussing the notion of the Master as an intellectual guide offering models to imitate, and that of the Master as a figure with the ability to stimulate curiosity and investigation. At a time when the school of architecture in Venice represented a point of reference globally, given the presence of illustrious figures such as Carlo Aymonino and Aldo Rossi, the education system was undergoing a series of changes, marking a transition from the old “mass schooling” to a system more like the one we know today. In this scenario, teaching is increasingly called upon to stimulate a critical process rather than to provide ready-made answers; to encourage the building of new and unexpected relationships.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
