Publication . Morais, António José; Diogo, A. Bastos; Morais, Svetlana Ivanova

This article approaches the problem of the absence of the technology in the didactics of the Architecture´s Design, in the course of School of Architecture of Lisbon, as the subtitle of the article suggests - the forgotten dimension of the technological perspective.Despite of the course contemplates a relevant technological component, however, does not reflect, much less exponent the creative act of the Project. This is first of all a result of the organization, didactics and contents of the Project classes, and not so much, a lack of knowledge provided to the student in the technological disciplines, which are present in quantity in the curricular structure. The situation, analyzed in this article, is a consequence of a blocking of the Project classes to the technology ones, which do not promote, nor allow, the necessary transdisciplinary articulation and integration between the act of designing and the application of technological knowledge, which is fundamental and intrinsic to the act of thinking and conceiving Architecture.The CAD / CAE / CAM digital tools have not only highlighted the fragility of this didactic process in the didactic context of the current teaching, but, in view of the potential of its operative process, impose the future reformulation of the Project's cognitive practice, integrating the component technology in the Design Methodology of the architect's teaching and praxis
