Abstract

In the field of architectural design, the evolution of methodologies has been an ongoing process, from traditional approaches focused on linear teaching and master-apprentice learning to the integration of design thinking and interdisciplinary approaches. This review study analyzes the need to transcend classical methodologies towards a new vision that responds to contemporary challenges, such as sustainability, digitalization and the personalization of spaces. Through the systematic literature review between 2018 and 2024, the limitations of traditional approaches are identified, and a renewed methodological vision is proposed that incorporates creativity, innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration, all under an integrative perspective. It is concluded that the adoption of new methodologies is essential to bridge the gap between theory and practice, ensuring that architectural designs respond to user expectations and current social demands. This article is a partial synthesis of a broader research developed within the framework of the doctoral thesis called "Methodological proposal for architectural design with a systemic approach applicable to the architect's project processes. ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN THINKING SYSTEM: Thinking System for Architectural Design".
