Andrea Pagano and Laura Tedeschini Lalli present a brief note on what has to be considered a teaching success story. They tell of ten years of teaching mathematics at the Faculty of Architecture of the Università di Roma Tre, describing some new course content that has been introduced, the methods used and, above all, the spirit that has driven the ideas about teaching mathematics to future architects. The experience covers the full curriculum of the student: from first year courses to individual projects.
