Learning outcomes |
This course explores the role of drawing in the phenomenological and artistic analysis and creation of architecture, structured around three exercises. The first focuses on representation, reinterpreting classical systems (scaenographia, ichnographia, and orthographia) through a phenomenological approach, emphasising body, space, and perception. The second examines conception and representation using the categories of tectonic and stereotomic as heuristic and conceptual tools, also adapted to a phenomenological perspective. The third centres on the heuristic representation of diagrams, analysing existing projects and creating diagrams applied to the projects developed in the Project II curricular unit. This journey encourages graphic and sensory experimentation, promoting drawing as a critical and creative tool to conceive spaces that engage with the sensory, atmospheric, and symbolic dimensions of architecture.

Syllabus |
The programme content of Drawing 2 is structured into three interconnected parts:
Phenomenological Representation: Revisiting classical systems (scaenographia, ichnographia, and orthographia) and transforming them to capture relationships between body, space, and perception. Exploration of manual and digital techniques to enrich the representational experience.
Tectonic and Stereotomic: Introduction to these categories as heuristic and conceptual tools for architectural conception. Analysis of structural and material elements through exercises in graphic synthesis and modelling, incorporating a sensory and phenomenological approach.
Heuristic Diagrams: Development of diagrams from existing projects to understand spatial and atmospheric intentions. Creation of diagrams as tools for representation and conception applied to the projects of the Project II curricular unit.
Throughout the course, graphic and sensory experimentation, critical thinking, and the use of drawing as an analytical

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The course adopts practice-focused methodologies, combining theoretical-practical sessions (30h) and laboratory sessions (90h) over 15 weeks. Theoretical-practical classes introduce concepts of representation, tectonics, stereotomics, and diagrams, while laboratory sessions focus on graphic, sensory, and phenomenological experimentation through guided exercises.
Learning is structured around three sequential exercises aligned with the programme content, with continuous evaluation after each exercise: 1st (30%), 2nd (30%), and 3rd (40%). Assessment considers graphic quality, synthesis ability, creativity, phenomenological rigour, and alignment with objectives. Attendance and active participation also influence evaluation.
