TRAINING FOR KNOWLEDGE TO ACTION: TOOLS FOR THE METROPOLITAN ARCHITECTURE DISCIPLINE

We consider the goal set by the Cocoyoc Declaration of 1974 as the goal of every action. It inspires the outline of the training programme we are building and testing within the TELLme – Training for Education, Learning and Leadership towards a new Metropolitan discipline, which is a Strategic Partnership for Higher Education ongoing project, co-financed by the EU Commission within the Erasmus+ programme. The Metropolitan Discipline – whose foundation is the main objective of TELLme – aims to provide answers to the extreme urbanization and its phenomena. Given the complexity of its subject, the fragmentation, diversification of territories and environments, and the multiplicity of stakeholders, the Discipline is conceived as a “discipline of practise”, in which the theory is fed by the practise and its practise-led research is connected to a continuous experimentation on concrete case studies.
