“…It provides free designs that separate the facade from the structural function of the building [14]. Roth [15], emphasizes that the five points of modern architecture mentioned by Le Corbusier, are seen in Villa Savoye with its structural frame with pilotis that lift the mass off the ground, its free plan by means of the concrete frame, highlighting the floors from the carrier columns, horizontal windows providing good illumination and a roof garden inspired by the Mediterranean architecture.…”

“…La arquitectura es la ciencia y el arte de construir (Roth y Roth Clark, 2018;Tabb y Deviren, 2016), ocupa la intersección entre la tecnología y la cultura (Costanzo, 2016) y satisface necesidades que van mucho más allá de lo utilitario (Huxtable, 1992). Como expresión cultural, constituye una declaración y un futuro legado de los intereses y preocupaciones de la sociedad en cada momento de la historia (Roth y Roth Clark, 2018;Tabb y Deviren, 2016). En consecuencia, ha estado vinculada a los valores y principios del desarrollo sostenible en paralelo a la historia de la humanidad, a medida que transcurría el tiempo y se identificaba la interferencia de los seres humanos con el equilibrio natural (AbdelKader et al, 2015) o la necesidad de reconocer las cualidades del entorno para garantizar el confort, la salud o la protección de las personas (Tabb y Deviren, 2016).…”

“…En consecuencia, la arquitectura sostenible debe poner en valor el proceso de diseño, integrando y resolviendo los condicionantes del desarrollo sostenible (Leach, 1997;Montaner, 1997), pero también la sostenibilidadambiental, social y económica-de sus productos a lo largo de todo su ciclo de vida: desde la construcción o reutilización y el origen de sus materiales, hasta su derribo o el desecho, reutilización y mantenimiento de sus componentes, pasando por su funcionamiento y uso, y teniendo en consideración, además, su adaptabilidad a las necesidades cambiantesfuncionales, climáticas o de otra índole-propias del proyecto y del contexto (Tabb y Deviren, 2016). Igualmente, la arquitectura sostenible debe reconocer su valor en la construcción de identidades culturales y del sentido de lugar, y ha de reivindicar su papel determinante en la configuración de comportamientos y estilos de vida más sostenibles (Buchanan, 2005;Guy y Moore, 2005; J. H. Lee, 2020;Roth y Roth Clark, 2018). Su ejercicio es un proceso complejo de adaptación de las intenciones humanas a las realidades ambientales, sociales y económicas, un proceso desordenado, incierto, difícil, y a veces cuestionado, que exige competencias de orden elevado, creatividad y benevolencia, un proceso capaz de cambiar las rutinas de toma de decisiones.…”

Architectural education has been called to become education for sustainable development to empower future professionals to make conscious decisions and act responsibly in favour of environmental quality, social justice and an equitable and viable economy in the long term. To achieve this, it is essential to understand what is being done and what can be improved in its transformation towards this type of education: Are architects being trained so that they can promote the achievement of sustainable development? Are the characteristics necessary to do so being integrated into education? To what extent does their qualifying training contribute to attaining it? However, there are gaps in knowledge on that subject at the national and international levels.As a response to this situation, and to facilitate the integration of education for sustainable development in the training of future architects, the main objective of this doctoral thesis is (MO) to know the students' perception regarding the current state of the Spanish qualifying academic program constituted by a bachelor's and a master's degree concerning education for sustainable development. To that end, four specific objectives have been established: (SO1) to determine the degree to which they consider that they have acquired the learning outcomes required to achieve sustainable development, (SO2) to establish the level at which they think that their bachelor's learning experience has integrated the characteristics of this type of education, (SO3) to estimate the level at which they believe that this learning experience has contributed to acquiring the assessed learning outcomes, and (SO4) to analyse the relationship between the degree acquisition that they attribute to these learning outcomes and the level of integration of the characteristics of education for sustainable development that they assign to the bachelor's learning experience.To achieve objectives SO1, SO2 and SO3, a descriptive, quantitative, nonexperimental and cross-sectional study has been carried out through surveys created ad hoc addressed to students from the Spanish Master's Degree in Architecture (Máster Universitario en Arquitectura) through a non-probabilistic sampling. Its distribution has allowed knowing the perception that 282 students from 19 of the 22 schools of architecture that offered these studies during the academic year 2020/2021 have in this regard. In addition, to achieve the specific objective SO4, a correlation and a regression analysis of these responses have been developed.

“…Roth (2007) discusses that idea that architecture is the unavoidable art. Not only does it have a function, but it impossible to avoid architecture because "we deal with it every waking moment when not in the wilderness; it is the art form we inhabit" (p. 6).…”

Participants' individual and two-person semi-structured interviews about study abroad experiences were electronically recorded and transcribed for analysis.A second interview was conducted with five of the participants to obtain feedback vii concerning the accuracy of the transcripts and the interpretation of the data. Sketch journals and design projects were also analyzed from five participants and used as data for the purposes of better understanding what these individuals learned and experienced as part of their study abroad.Findings indicated that study abroad experiences helped to broaden student understanding about architecture and urban development. These experiences also opened the possibilities of creative and professional expression. For many, this was the most important aspect of their education as architects because it heightened their interest in architecture. These individuals talked about how they had the opportunity to experience contemporary and ancient buildings that they had learned about in their history and design classes on their home campuses. In terms of personal and professional development, many of the participants remarked that they became more independent and self-reliant because of their study abroad experiences. They also displayed a sense of global awareness and were interested in the cultures of their host nations. The study abroad experiences also had a lasting influence on their professional development.viii
