This paper briefly tries to explain that the inclusion of the problems related to housing in the curriculum, is of little use if no radical changes are introduced in the teaching of architecture. Given the conceptual framework where such teaching takes place, it is almost impossible to think of organizing a teachings scheme which deal with housing in due depth. Architects need to change the point of view we have of the problem (as well as other related ones), leaving the classic concepts which the discipline has worked with since the 60'. This paper puts forward, first some of the paradigms on which the present teaching is based, aiming at pointing out where the main troubles for a change lay. Then some of the characteristics of the problem are presented, which should structurally be included in teaching and finally, some propositions and questions are presented.
