This paper describes and analyzes the process of design and implementation of an Urban Design Studio for third year architecture students at the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism of the University of Chile. This academic experience has allowed the faculty to pass on to the students all the necessary tools to approach the most relevant issues of the contemporary city, as well as the opportunity to debate about the pedagogical strategies under which future architects are being trained. The aim of this academic experience is to shift the focus of design exercises, from the development of architectural objects to a more profound understanding of the urban realm as the main field of action of every architectural intervention, in order to make students more aware about the city and Urban Design.
