2024Abstract
The Master's thesis titled "Teaching Innovation through the Application of
Digital Tools for the Development of Spatial Vision: The Chimneys of
Popular Architecture in Lanzarote" focuses on the integration of 3D digital
tools and technical drawing to study the chimneys of Lanzarote's
vernacular architecture. Through practical activities, it aims to promote
understanding of architecture and cultural heritage by deconstructing and
conducting a detailed analysis of the forms and structures of the chimneys,
with the goal of providing an educational and innovative experience that
combines technology and drawing. We specifically emphasize the
utilization of digital tools like SketchUp and augmented reality to model
and visualize the chimneys in nearby environments, enabling students to
explore and gain a better comprehension of their architectural
characteristics. Naturally, the role of technical drawing is emphasized as a
fundamental tool for the precise decomposition and representation of the
chimney forms, fostering technical and creative skills in students. In
essence, this project aims to provide students with an enriching educational
experience that stimulates their capacity to comprehend and visualize
space. Additionally, through this proposal, we highlight a significant part of
the Canary Islands' heritage, which is the popular architecture of Lanzarote
island.
