Abstract

The production and characters of the Hochschule für Gestaltung Ulm have experienced a wider spreading than the pedagogical experiences carried out in the institution. The school was distinguished by being at the avant-garde of the moment and by having a group of teachers deeply involved in research and committed to the culture of the project. This paper aims to offer a perspective on some of the tools used to learn how to project: diagrams. The use of diagrams in the first courses involved the acquisition of tools to classify complex information and to project in a systematic way. This didactic proposal is produced in the context of the overcoming of the visual model based on abstract and plastic exercises and the orientation towards a type of teaching more attentive to the real context that tries to incorporate methods from other fields into the project.
