Learning outcomes |
Establishing our own methodology and an individual process that adapts naturally to each student. Establishing differences, allowing for constant heterogeneity that leads to homogeneity in terms of participation and the development of each piece of work.
To relate architecture to contemporary society in a wide variety of areas, promoting multidisciplinarity and a broad knowledge of different areas: cinema, painting, sculpture, design, philosophy, literature, music, ecology, urbanism and engineering.
Promote a spirit of research, participation and confrontation of ideas at a theoretical and practical level (project).
Promote theoretical debate on the main architectural movements and currents, trying to position students in the face of dogmas, paradigms and the vicissitudes of the times, societies and respective contexts. Analyze, debate and confront the various positions on architecture.

Practical classes are constantly monitored by the teacher, with direct support for the students and their work.
Promoting debate and criticism based on individual oral presentations by each student at the end of practical exercises. Approach the oral presentation as a form of systematized presentation of an idea, a concept, a desire to design and build.
The lecture method will be adopted for theoretical classes, presenting a variety of topics using different media: slides, films, documentaries of works and authors.
Lectures are given to clearly explain the program and the objectives of each exercise.
To encourage discovery, research and individual analysis in the various aspects of architectural theory and practice.
Promote curiosity about certain subjects, encourage reading in general, and by architectural magazines and publications in particular.
