This paper presents the methodology that was followed for the curricular redesign of the Universidad Autónoma de Centro América, with an approach based on research, innovation and foresight. In addition to the comprehensive evaluation of the curriculum, the process includes global trends in the training of professionals in Architecture, the analysis of the SDGs, the Tuning Latin America project, as well as the perspectives of various sectors related to the discipline. As a result, a panoramic view of the characteristics and repercussions in different areas of professional practice is obtained; in this way, a model is built, identifying the impact variables and their indicators. As a learning strategy, the Transversal Design Workshop is implemented, based on Problem-Based Learning, with a structuring of the contents that considers the sequential, progressive and spiral model, which implies a journey in which students internalize interconnected knowledge of increasing complexity, based on a real
situation.
