Architectural Design teaching program at the School of Architecture of the European University of the Canary Islands is integrated from the 2nd to the 6th year and is structured through a progressive methodology that approaches the teaching of architectural design from a comprehensive perspective. Throughout the courses, students explore various architectural scales and typologies, starting with small-scale projects in the second year, such as mountain refuges and single-family homes, up to complex urban interventions and institutional buildings in the sixth year. This progression allows students to gain an in-depth understanding of the discipline, adapting to different urban contexts and architectural programs. Our pedagogical approach is based on four fundamental conditions: scale, programmatic complexity, urban intensity, and technology. Students develop projects that integrate these aspects, addressing the relationship between architectural design and urban planning regulations. The use of advanced digital tools and sustainable techniques is promoted, which strengthens their competencies to face professional challenges. The result is a solid preparation that ensures students deeply understand the interaction between architecture, environment, and society. The methodology, successfully applied during the 2021-22 and 2022-23 academic years, has significantly improved students' perception of their personal confidence and the evaluation of final projects. This demonstrates that graduates are well-equipped to perform effectively in the professional field, managing projects of various scales and complexities with pre-professional confidence.
