Las chimeneas de la arquitectura popular de Lanzarote. Innovación docente en la aplicación de herramientas digitales para el desarrollo de la visión espacial

Abstract

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.
