Abstract

In the context of ecological and social crisis, this article presents a situated investigation into the potential of performative practices as a pedagogical methodology in architectural education. The experience, developed within the course Architectural Design Studio I at the Higher Technical School of Architecture of Seville (academic year 2023–2024), consisted of a three-week laboratory in which students engaged in situated observation, performative intervention, and reflexive documentation in real urban settings. The aim was to test a pedagogy of care capable of fostering a critical reading of public space and of cultivating design competences sensitive to context, the commons, and the affective dimension of space. The interventions—conceived as minimal actions, bodily gestures, or the displacement of everyday objects—operated as devices of symbolic re-signification, destabilizing hegemonic uses and opening poetic fissures within urban normativity. Beyond their scale, the experience proved its capacity to operate as a replicable strategy across different levels of design education, building bridges between university teaching, professional practice, and urban activism. In this sense, architectural education is understood not merely as the transmission of technical skills, but as preparation for practice in a world shaped by fragility, interdependence, and the demand for hospitality.
