Aproximación al territorio turístico desde la innovación docente en Arquitectura

Abstract

Mass tourism, of sun and beach, continues being one of the most active sectors in both urban and regional scales. However, despite its importance, it has not been properly integrated as a study field in the training education of future architects. The School of Architecture of the University of Malaga (Spain), since its foundation, identified this lack and included the tourism as a subject in its Study Programme. The objective was to create an approach to the touristic territory from architecture and landscape. This decision has represented an exercise of teaching innovation and its experiences are the central part of this paper.
