Formación del arquitecto: La incidencia del proyecto de título en el campo laboral

Abstract

This paper develop a reflexive analysis about the contribution generated by the traditional degree process (which is used by most schools of the country) based on the development of a fictitious blueprint as part of the architect's formation and its relationship with professional practice. Previous studies infer about the distance between the title process and the architect's labor market. The objective is to describe the incidence, in professional practice, of the current qualification process in the architecture career of a private university in the Metropolitan Region. For this study, we worked from a mixed methodology (CUALI + Cuanti), with an exploratory / phenomenological approach, in which semi-structured interviews and surveys are applied to 12 students in the process of qualification and 20 architects graduated from the same institution, with 3 to 7 years of professional practice. The results show that the institution should have new methods of certification that bring the future architect to the real and current problems of the labor field. In conclusion, the degree through a fictitious blueprint does not significantly affect and does not relate to the exercise of the profession. It is inferred then that the schools of architecture should deliver new and better options of certification, from the concrete and real problems of society linked to the current labor market of the discipline.
