This communication aims to show the evolution in the teaching supports and the communication with the students of the Architecture Degree of the University of Seville, applied to the teaching of Urbanism during the last year. More specifically, it will show the experience carried out in the subjects of Urbanism I (taught in the first year of the degree course) during the lockdown imposed in Spain on March 13, 2020. Justification and objectives:Communication methods between teachers and students are essential to improve teaching results in university education, both in the classroom and virtually. Following the general confinement decreed on 13 March 2020, these communication strategies have had to adapt to a new landscape of difficulties and obstacles, especially in disciplines where the handling of physical materials (planimetry, mapping, technical reports, etc.) remains indispensable. The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic has been used as an opportunity to rethink the role of these physical supports, as well as strategies to ensure that they do not fall into disuse in the new virtual landscape. In this way, we intend to show the results of the implementation of digital diptych formats as a support that then, from home, students should print physically and interact with it. Results:Having implemented, developed and made this material more complex throughout the course of the course, the experience in the use of hybrid supports (printable digital files and virtual teaching) has shown an improvement in the times of understanding and conceptualisation of the subjects, as well as a very positive evaluation by the students, who, in addition to perceiving a close and current visual language, preserve the material as an object of design. These first indicators obtained (academic performance and satisfaction with teaching) validate the relevance of this method as a strategy for better teacher-student communication during periods of confinement.
Among the challenges faced at the university, during the lockdown from mid-March 2020, it was the need to give continuity to the learning of subjects that involve a direct approach to cultural property. In "Architectural History, Theory and Composition 3 -Rehabilitation", undergraduated students of the University of Seville's Degree studies of Fundamentals in Architecture and teachers have practiced new ways of distance learning.Traditionally, reading and consulting materials are provided in digital formats (catalogues and urban plans, publications on buildings, urban history, cartography). Complementary, the visits of immersion in the heritage reality are especially productive in academic terms. Buildings, spaces, and urban perceptions are identified, so that students develop ways of seeing and recognize their complexity. The social, cultural, artistic, archaeological, landscape dimension prepares preservation or rehabilitation practices. This includes a visit to a qualified sector of the historic centre of Seville. This experience was initially planned to be onsite but due to the pandemic became virtual. The possibilities offered by the digital resources resulted in deeper approaches to other features of cultural property that were not frequently repaired by Architecture students.
