Project for the introduction of a materials library within a conventional library of a university degree in architecture

This communication presents a recent and unprecedented teaching experience in the degree of architecture in a polytechnic university related to the training of its students, which incorporates the library as a mixed centre of resources on materials. Its aim is to overcome the gradual separation of new students from the analogue world in favour of the digital world. The aim of the experience is to implement a materials library in the library, as a teaching resource for self-learning outside the classroom, oriented towards subjects in the field of Architectural Technology. It is an initiative with potential results of interest to higher education professionals, involving the library, the collaboration of subject teachers and a link between the digital and analogue worlds. The project is laborious and will be rolled out over several years, but the preliminary results are promising.
