Abstract :
In this paper we present an experience we conducted at the Escuela Tecnica Superior de Arquitectura de Valencia. Our aim was double: 1) To promote the rapprochement between mathematics and architecture; and 2) To test the incorporation of DPGraph software as a teaching tool. The results were highly satisfactory in both directions, which led us to the conclusion of the use of DPGraph as a tool in computing practices of the mathematics subjects at the new degree in Architecture.
