Entry requirements Preferably the conclusion of the previous Curricular Unit, Drawing I/1.
Learning outcomes Develop the fundamental role of drawing, understanding it as an essential instrument for architectural creation/design.
Drawing should now be understood as an essential tool for designing architectural spaces.
In this sense, and following the knowledge acquired in the Drawing I/1 discipline about the expression and representation potential of graphic marks, we now intend to “discover” the experimental and systematic potential of drawing for the creation and generation of spaces.
The aim is to stimulate and develop in the student:
- The critical analysis of a creative imagination;
- Understanding the concept of scales, identity, proportion, disproportion, distortion, relationship, interrelationship, composition: of the building (interior and exterior), exterior space, urban space and landscape (urban and non-urban).
Syllabus The syllabus of the Drawing I/2 discipline is based on an exploratory path of materialities, whether through texture (moving from surface to depth through fractal recursion in changing the scales and meanings of understanding architectural space, from observation, to analysis and interpretation. These operations will be based on architectural conceptual criteria of a tectonic and stereotomic type and reflect both operative choices and material choices. Thus, tectonic generation operations (classical geometric operations and topological transformations) and generation stereotomic (Boolean, morphological and tessellation operations).Finally, students are introduced to the use of diagrams as essential tools for the exploration, conceptualization, communication and analysis of project ideas.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria Launch of exercises through a specific statement, with a description of the objectives, the materials to be used, the format to be presented, the duration and percentage of classification.
The exercises will be adapted to the objectives and contents of the discipline, and there may be, whenever necessary, parallel exercises, which allow a better understanding of the objectives. The last exercise should be understood as a synthesis exercise of all the work developed.
The works will be presented and discussed in the class space. Each exercise will be presented in an A3 format portfolio.
Language Portuguese. Tutorial support is available in English.
