The modelling (mathematics) implied in the creative processes of an architect

Abstract

This research aims to understand the work procedures of an architect, analyzing them comparatively with the stages of modelling (mathematics). The collaborator it granted interviews through narratives, which were recorded and later transcribed for analysis. It is a qualitative research in which the mapping in educational research was used as a methodological procedure, organized in two moments: apprehension of the data through the collaborator's narratives and meaning of that data, result of the identification, understanding and interpretation these dice. The results showed that, although this professional does not assume the use of modelling in her work, it is present in the procedures used by the professional. From this result, it is possible to think of methodological strategies that can be applied to Basic Education.
