Words in Place: Critical Architectural Messages on the Surface of the City

This paper examines an alternative approach for the teaching of architectural theory in the context of the Mexican city of Puebla. After a short description of the local context and a presentation of the course (syllabus, readings, assignments) it unpacks in detail—and through specific examples—the “Words in Place” project, elaborating on its pedagogical objectives and the opportunities it provides for the teaching of theory as a way to cultivate an ethical position.
