Learning outcomes |
Develop design skills that respond in an integrated way to housing needs, considering the specificities of place and intervention context;
Promote historical, cultural, and social contextualization and its influence on the thinking of inhabited space;
Introduce and develop design methodologies that integrate analysis, synthesis, and creativity in the conception of well-founded architectural solutions (idea, concept, and process);
Develop urban analysis and intervention skills, enabling students to conduct sensitive and integrated interventions in urban revitalization and requalification exercises;
Develop competencies in graphic representation and model-making, enhancing the design and communication aspects of Architecture;
Raise awareness of the role of the Architect-Citizen as an active citizen, committed to solving real problems, shifting the paradigm from “what we can build” to “what we should build.”

Syllabus |
The syllabus focuses on the relationship between analysis and design within the project process, covering the following themes:
Interpretative analysis and characterization of the urban, cultural, and social context (What needs? What audiences? What concerns? Etc.);
Intervention in consolidated urban areas;
Creation of a framework of analogies and complex relationships (History, Place, and Language);
Defining architectural references to support the design process (contributing to the construction of a mental library of references);
Development of the notion of public and private space;
Human scale and architectural scale in the relationship between form, meaning, function, and context;
Design of a mixed-use building that includes housing, incorporating private and communal functions, both indoor and outdoor, in relation to public space;
Introduction to construction concepts, considering both physical implications and issues of representation.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Pedagogy will focus on three interrelated components:
- theoretical classes on themes and contents of the program, and framing of the different phases of the practical project exercises;
- practical project exercises defined in the curriculum program and in the statements for the semester, with stages of increasing level of complexity, according to the predefined objectives;
- critical monitoring classes of the different phases of practical project exercises - presentation and critical discussion in class and tutorial follow-up.
Evaluation:
- continuous evaluation with communication of qualitative notes assigned at the end of each phase of the project and after discussion and delivery of the works;
- at the end of the semester it is made the evaluation of all the work produced, which will have a final classification measured with equity in the universe of students who developed this program.
