1.8. Resources to teach

A innovative professional must always stay up to date with the latest advances in their field. The latest developments in this discipline are not necessarily found in traditional books. We must use publications from indexed journals with worldwide circulation as a primary source of up-to-date knowledge.

For this reason, we rely on institutional subscriptions to specialized databases such as the Avery Index to Architectural Periodicals, JSTOR, Scopus, Web of Science, and other professional associations relevant to architecture. It is recommended that faculty use this material to discuss in class the trends, innovations, and cutting-edge developments in all areas of the specialty.

Studio and workshop infrastructure must also be updated according to the technological progress specific to the discipline, and this implies constant renovations to ensure that students develop practical competencies aligned with current professional standards.

The physical resources regarding studios and workshops for each course are detailed in Chapter 9.
