This study focuses on the design process that uses the digital environment in the context of undergraduate courses of Architecture and Urbanism, mainly the Digital Architectural Design (DAD). From the author's previous studies that classified the teaching practice in Latin America, the Brazilian data were analyzed due to its expressive and heterogeneous features. Faced with a scenario that points to institutional characteristics reflect in the teaching approach, a horizontal mapping was performed. A data cross-referencing through correlation methodology was carried out. As a result, there is a prevalence of public institutions that use teaching practice using DAD, most of them located in South and Southeast with a close link between teaching and research.
