Estamos asistiendo a una progresiva democratización del aprendizaje y diseño en arquitectura cuando ésta se entiende como una ecología, esto es, una ciencia de relaciones. Para abordar este objetivo, algunas prácticas docentes de la Escuela de Alicante analizan gráficamente proyectos ejemplares de escala doméstica o aprenden a aplicar métodos de diseño consensuados con los habitantes a quienes van destinados: el primero toma la forma de prácticas de dibujo desde un balbuceo hasta un cierto nivel de calidad digital, deconstruyendo las versiones de machiyas japonesas realizadas por Atelier Bow-Wow; el segundo, inspirado en cómo se ha producido la toma de decisiones consensuada para los proyectos de ciudad fábrica y de la Mémé Medicale de Lucien y Simone Kroll, produce proyectos de transformación de viviendas en el entorno de Alicante. En ambos casos, trabajando indirectamente las competencias transversales propuestas para su aprendizaje. ; We are involved in a democratization of learning and designing in Architecture once it's considered an ecology, that is a science of relations. In order to approach to this goal, some emergent workshops in Alicante University select study cases of domestic scaled relevant projects or learn how to apply co-design methods: the first one follows the methodology of drawing lessons from a zero level to a certain quality in the results of decomposing some machiya Japanese houses designed by Atelier Bow-Wow; the second one, inspired in how public design decisions were taken for the cite-usine project and the Mémé Medicale by Lucien and Simone Kroll, end up producing refurbishments of dwelling in Alicante neighbourhoods. In both cases, the methodologies included the workout of transversal key competences.

In this paper, we address three contemporary issues currently being discussed in architectural education. The first issue is the hypothesis of domesticity as a suitable framework to acquire architectural abilities when students choose to focus their designs on ordinary issues from their childhood neighbourhoods. The second issue is that of shared authorship, whether it can make design more democratic and question the architect's hegemony over other agents involved in the design process. The third issue is the use of new kinds of tools to understand the results and impact of architectural actions: a new user-friendly technological device, made as effective as possible, can replace sociologic satisfaction questionnaires, interviews or discussion groups. Sociological research applied to architecture offers us references, charts, rules of analysis and diagnosis. We describe two exercises performed in Alicante University. The first one was meant for a neighbourhood community that offered spaces, such as lobbies next to main doors and lifts, to install a shared wardrobe and other architectonic services including ironing, drying, and the folding of clothes. In the second one, housewives led a co-design process to redefine their homes and make them compatible with workshop activities.
