Entry requirements n.a.
Learning outcomes This CU aims to prepare the student with theoretical and practical knowledges on the domain of graphical
representations and spatial analysis of georeferenced information of diversified sources. This allows the decision
making process to be technically based but also to promote and optimize management of territory, systems and
infrastructures and evaluate evolving scenarios.
The following competencies will be developed during the curricular unit:
? A) Mastering data acquisition, processing and spatial analysis techniques for diagnostic, planning, design and
management.
? B) Understanding the objectives and functionalities of geographic information systems.
? C) Understanding the main formats of digitally integrated spatial data.
? D) Recognition of different tools for advanced spatial analysis available in GIS software and its potential in different
areas of Architecture.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria This curricular unit lasts one semester, involving 60h of contact with the teacher, 70h of autonomous work and 10h for
evaluation (total: 140h). Approval on the curricular unit gives the student 5 ECTS credits.
The contact hours are organized as follows:
- 15h of theoretical classes (T), where the theoretical program content are exposed.
- 45h of laboratory practical classes (PL), where the programmatic contents are applied through supervised works.
Students also perform a practical application with high degree of autonomous work using all acquired skills during the
semester
Language Portuguese. Tutorial support is available in English.
