Starting in the 1960s, architecture became intensely influenced by various disciplines such as philosophy, psychology, and linguistics, breaking away from modernist projects without completely abandoning them. The second issue of the PRUMO Journal explores how this plurality and complexity have affected the formation of architects, questioning practices in architecture schools. Divided into two sections, the journal features articles from researchers and professors, as well as testimonies from recent graduates. The texts highlight the earnest attempt to incorporate contemporary complexity into education and professional practice, with an emphasis on pedagogical experiences based on integrated studios. Various authors address interdisciplinarity and the pursuit of a broader understanding of architecture, considering different scales and knowledge. The final segment, “PRUMO Indica,” presents a critical review of the book “Retracing the Expanded Field,” which explores 30 years of the expanded field concept.
