In order for architecture to maintain the transformative power within society, it often seeks to review previously explored content, in new circumstances, that offer them new contours with the freshness of the action. The evolution of the technological space raises the possibility of revising these contents through action methodologies that find new ways of operating. The pragmatism that drives action methodologies often compromises investigative practices, which in turn are delegated to an outside view incapable of constructing the action discourse that mirrors the truth of events, so that they can be clarified, replicated and developed. Therefore, the objective of this work is to reconstruct the poetic discourse found while participating in architectural laboratories, which methodological process resides in action. Thus, the intention was, on the one hand, to archive the theoretical and historical foundations of the Action Labs and, on the other hand, it was sought to frame them as situations of the "general architectural experience". With this framework of groundwork, not only has the action discourse of each participation been reconstructed, but another Action Lab has been proposed, organized and carried out. Based on this framework, a path of discussion began on the pre-reflective phenomena and the post-reflective motives of the actions. This reflection journey had two different moments: Firstly, based on real experience, at the Action Labs of the Escuela de Arquitectura y Diseño de la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso (E [AD] PUCV), particularly in the Open City and Travesia and, already in Portugal, from the construction of a didactic device for the exploration of research practices, based on the practices of commoning between spaces of learning, within the scope of the Junior University, of the University of Porto, coordinated by the professor of the Faculty of Architecture Ana Isabel da Costa e Silva. As a result, it was found that this practices cross three paths: the Practices of Investigating that open and close the experiments, inserting them in a scientific-labor and operational field for the architectural project; the Practices of Commoning interconnect the moments of action, where awareness and the incorporation of circumstantial components, from the scale of the subject to the construction of the common, can be worked on; and Spaces of Learning are gravitational forces that support and trigger certain conditions where architectural learning exercises are launched. Casa no Mundo was the real experience, in which there was a positive receptivity to the activity by the different dwellers. It served, precisely, as an engine to put into action the matters exposed in the present work. In five days, four spaces of learning were developed: project, journey, construction and celebration.
