Abstract
This article provides a reflection on the nature of the research and teaching in architecture and the problems arising from the economic crisis. It proposes a defence of the “architectural project” as the only element capable of structuring, both the increase of architectural knowledge (research) and its transmission (teaching).

Keywords: research; teaching; project; crisis.
