What is it about?
This paper reports the methods and findings resulted from a three-year project of innovation in architectural engineering education. The project was carried out at the University of Los Andes, Colombia, as part of a larger Innovation in Teaching Programme, which is currently taking place across all disciplines.

Why is it important?
The project presented in the article aimed to encourage students to successfully integrate theoretical knowledge into project development within lecture-based modules. This is an area considered to be under-researched. The teaching strategies used have proven to strengthen students’ skills for effective autonomous and collaborative learning. This is significant, since these skills are thought to be vital for the development of advance levels of learning.
Perspectives
The article provides critical and analytical insights that seek to enhance understanding of teaching and learning architectural technology. In particular, it explores the implementation of appropriate student-centred teaching strategies within the current context of 'massification' of higher education, which is linked to limited economic resources, restrictive classroom space and heavy student workload.
