Abstract :This paper is based on a report of the subject of Interior Projects Design Studio in the second-year course at IDarte. Each exercise of the course is summarized by an image. The image is accompanied by a brief report including the approach, the conceptual support, the historical and philosophical references, as well as the pedagogical orientation and the strategy of the exercise. The originality of this pedagogical method is based on offering the maximum freedom to the student in terms of personal creativity, while always working within a framework and within defined limits. This framework is designed in such a way that, in itself, it offers a complete methodological palette through which students assimilate the content of a subject such as Projects that is so difficult to define and specify. It does so in such a way that each exercise of this framework recreates the constitutive qualities of the architectural project: form, space, function, place, program, etc. In fact, each exercise is singled out based on some of these intrinsic qualities, enhancing the learning of these concepts, which most of the time would remain inaccessible. Thus, we stretch the conditions of each exercise to disparate and opposite extremes, to broaden the creative possibilities of the students (Santa-María, 2019:113; Viaplana, 2016:57). The conclusion represents a tapestry in which each exercise forms a ‘network’ along with the rest. Hence the value of the framework of this paper, since it already constitutes what could be defined as ‘the design of the design’.
