The social recognition of cultural landscapes has increased in recent years. Culture must be accessible to all citizens, helping them to interpret the cultural landscape in the most respectful and autonomous way possible. Nevertheless, the link between accessibility and heritage requires a sensitive perception of the environment and individuals in their different situations. Usually, however, only partial solutions are offered, whereas a global, truly sustainable, and inclusive approach should be adopted. In this sense, information design can play an essential role in the enjoyment and knowledge of heritage landscapes. The aim of this article is to present some reflections on this topic, which have led a group of teachers and students from the Laboratory of Architectural, Cultural, and Heritage Landscape of the University of Valladolid (LAB/PAP) to develop experimental design proposals for the archaeological site of Tiermes, in Soria, Spain. The method applied is based on field research, case studies, project proposals, workshops, and user testing. The resulting proposals emerge from the previous research developed by the LAB/PAP. They will focus on information design to present this extraordinary site in an inclusive way. The final discussion will decide which of these proposals will be easier and more useful to implement.

Hace tres años, se nos propuso formar parte del Proyecto de Innovación Docente que coordinaba la realización de talleres de arquitectura con estudiantes de Secundaria. Nuestro taller de tizas desarrollaba en dos horas las fases de presentación, ideación, ejecución, toma de fotografías y exposición en pantalla ante sus compañeros, todo ello en permanente diálogo e intercambio de opiniones. Los colegios nos recibían encantados de que les acercásemos las actividades de arquitectura a sus estudiantes. Nosotros queríamos promocionar que los alumnos de los institutos conociesen el tipo de actividades que realiza un estudiante de arquitectura. Pero el desafío al que nos estábamos enfrentando era el de reproducir, con un alumnado tan virgen como entusiasta, experiencias de aprendizaje propias de las Escuelas de Arquitectura sin el bagaje de conocimientos, categorías y terminología que nuestros alumnos sí poseen. Este artículo describe la experiencia, lo que hemos aprendido y nos traemos de vuelta a la Escuela. Three years ago, we were proposed to be part of the Teaching Innovation Project that coordinated the carrying out of architecture workshops with high school students. Our chalk workshop carried out in two hours the stages of presentation, ideation, execution, taking photographs and exhibition on class screen to his colleagues, all this in constant dialogue and exchange of opinions. The schools welcomed us to bring the architectural activities to their students. We wanted to promote that the students of the institutes knew the type of activities that an architecture student performs. But the challenge we were facing was to reproduce, with a student as untouched as enthusiastic, learning experiences typical of the Schools of Architecture without the background of knowledge, categories and terminology that, of course, our students have. This article describes the experience, what we have learned and we bring back to the school.
