This work presents an action-research exercise completed in a classroom as a result of the architectural design workshop experience that incorporate the Building Information Modeling - BIM methodology as a strategy for the inclusion of the technical field, as an entry condition for the formal and spatial of architecture. As a result, the workshop planning structure, learning activities developed under digital tools, performance indicators and learning results are shown. During the discussion, the findings are compared with previous studies showing glimpses of pedagogical research lines that are in tune with STEAM type educational models.
