Margarita Bauza, Professional Tutor, Welsh School of Architecture, Cardiff
University
Margarita takes teaching as an experimentation and research process to achieve
personal development for both herself and her students. Entailing design and
developing teaching methods, she specifically tailors modules to achieve specific
outcomes. In the MA UD the use of precedents has been incorporated as way of
learning, exploring and designing - encouraging the students to develop their
own critical thinking and understanding of specific issues and enabling a common
platform for discussion among students from different cultures and backgrounds.
