Learning outcomes	The UC of Project I/2 has as main objectives: i) the introduction to the general problems of Architecture; ii) the construction of individual working methodologies; iii) understanding of the concept/idea as a basis to the process of design; iv) the understanding of the practices of representation and communication. The skills to be acquired are: To know how to define a concept idea; To know how to build/speculate about a program; To know how to analyze a territory and understand the project as a moment of synthesis; To know how to define implementation strategies and volumetric definition; To produce hierarchical systems and To perceive the relations between public/private space; inside/outside; container/content...; To propose simple building materials and systems in relation to design concepts; To master the practices and processes of representation and improve ways of communicating ideas; To know how to interpret/criticize a project.
Syllabus	The Project I course covers several themes, to be developed throughout the academic year, at different levels of complexity. The 2nd semester begins with a drawing exercise ("Lightning" 1), focused on the transformation of a solid into a habitable space and its respective graphic representation. After this introduction, the first exercise (Exercise 1) consists of the study, analysis and deepening of concepts related to the theme of housing, which will be approached from different methodological strategies, such as graphic representation or conceptual analysis, as well as through a final phase of a propositional nature ("Lightning" 2). The second exercise (Exercise 2) consists of a simple piece of equipment, proposed in line with an Ideas Contest taking place simultaneously with the Project I/2 CU. This calendar tuning will allow students, if they wish, to submit their proposals. There will also be a "Lightning" 3 - surprise program.
