Learning to look

Abstract

Through the development of the Saber Mirar Program, students are expected to induce the necessary skills to read and interpret the city and the territory through the use of the resources available on the network. It is about addressing the inquiry about the urban reality itself while doing the same with other remote and unknown. Various strategies of approach to urban events are used; with an unconventional didactic of work that makes intensive use of the Information and Communication Technologies. The experiences already developed have been oriented to the undergraduate students of several formative levels. In addition to the objective of developing analytical instrumentation in the field of Urbanism, the program also aims to encourage a taste for research and help identify and formulate the topics of interest on the problems of our cities.
