    Arquitectura social enseñanza y aplicación para los arquitectos en formación
    (Red Académica Internacional de Investigación (RIIA), 2025) Mariajose Aguilar Díaz, Josefina Cuevas Rodríguez
    In recent years, the architecture degree programs at private—and occasionally public—universities in Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas, have focused on training architects primarily for the production of residential, commercial, and government buildings, often lacking a social dimension. Consequently, between 2015 and 2020, project-based collaboration was integrated into the curriculum to assist vulnerable communities on the city's outskirts and in nearby rural areas. Under the guidance of faculty members specializing in the relevant subjects, these initiatives reinforced students' skills in design, sustainability, and structural judgment, ultimately fostering a paradigm shift toward alternative approaches to architectural practice. This new perspective on the architect's professional role encourages students to explore diverse ways of using their skills to support society—such as performing community service with civil society organizations or engaging in projects that innovate to improve living environments. Broadening horizons into these areas—which are often largely unexplored during standard academic training—strengthens students' professional ethics and their commitment to society, the environment, and cultural contexts. As educators and mentors, it is crucial to create environments that foster creative student participation and—as discussed in Chapter 2, "Social Architecture: Teaching and Application for Architects in Training" (pp. 35–50) by Mariajose Aguilar Díaz and Josefina Cuevas Rodríguez—instill in young people the desire to become agents of change; the goal is for them not merely to judge the realities of their society, but to become active participants in improving those realities. The advisory process for these socially impactful architectural projects was led by three faculty members from the Universidad Valle de México (Tuxtla Campus) and the Universidad Autónoma de Chiapas. The approach was grounded in the theoretical foundations of courses such as sustainable architecture, architectural design, construction processes, and a zero-impact materials workshop; however, since no specific course addressing this aspect existed in the curriculum, a program was created to incorporate it through vertical workshops comprising students from various year levels. The "learning-by-doing" methodology was employed; a key benefit of this approach is that it exposes students to real-world societal conditions, allowing them to apply the skills they have acquired to seek optimal solutions rather than simply working with hypothetical scenarios provided by their professors. Through this method, students develop leadership, empathy, responsibility, commitment, social awareness, and resilience, while using their knowledge to assist families and organized community groups in need. Work was carried out in the "Los Yukis" settlement on the outskirts of Tuxtla Gutiérrez, as well as in the municipalities of Chiapa de Corzo, Berriozábal, Jiquipilas, Zinacantán, and Amatenango del Valle, all within the state of Chiapas. Consequently, the objective of this research is to demonstrate the existence of learning methods beyond the traditional classroom and to highlight their impact on the development of architectural practice. It does so by analyzing, adapting, and reinterpreting the actions taken, while also recognizing alternative ways to practice architecture.
