Learning outcomes |
This course aims to provide students with the skills to construct and explore geometric models applied to Architecture, combining essential theoretical concepts with practical methodologies for three-dimensional modeling. The goal is for students to gain a solid understanding of geometric foundations, develop the ability to model complex forms, and master the digital and physical tools required for architectural design and production.

Syllabus |
NUMBERS AND GEOMETRY: Proportions; geometric constructions; geometric transformations in the plane and in space.
CURVES: Classical curves and free-form curves (Bézier, B-spline).
SURFACES: Classical surfaces (quadratic), ruled surfaces, and free-form surfaces (Bézier, B-spline, and NURBS); meshes; subdivision surfaces; surface operations: boolean, trimming, and splitting.
MODELING: From geometric design to the material production of models.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
- The assessment of knowledge during the Teaching-Learning process will consist of 3 individual assignments (T1, T2, and T3), 1 group assignment (TG), and 1 written test/exam (F).
- The grades obtained in the individual assignments (T1, T2, and T3), the group assignment (TG), and the written test (F) are presented on a 0-20 scale. The final Teaching-Learning grade (CF) will be determined by rounding to the nearest whole number using the following calculation:
CF = (1/3)F + (1/3)((T1 + T2 + T3)/3) + (1/3)TG
- To be admitted to the final exam, the student must have attended at least one class or completed at least one assessment activity.
- Students with a Teaching-Learning grade equal to or higher than 10 will be exempt from the final exam.
