Summary/Abstract: The student projects reach a wide range of ideas, they go through various concepts, technologies, systems, information networks, and political philosophy, and carefully investigates the realization of these ideas, in and through design. What follows is a set of guided searches, and the formalization of an imagined-object, an answer for the research that has been made, a project design that reveals itself in a specific way. Research and conditions of the site to be inserted in the proposed doesn’t restrict creativity, it does not require strict adherence to a fixed package of rules, as it seems at the first glance. They are an integral part of any project available to be critically detailed. The projects studied in the Architecture School propose every time something new from the architectural point of view, they doesn’t speculate in theory, philosophy or conjectural about architecture, but they dare to suggest possible mutations in virtual scenario, they suggests a project-object that imagine just how architecture could become. So, the strong design ideas produced by speculative or lateral thinking can stimulate specific theoretical investigations just as much as the other way around.
