Entry requirements The Curricular Course has no entry requirements however it assumes that students successfully attended the Architectural Design Curricular Units of the previous years.
Learning outcomes - Understanding architecture as an experimental activity, promoting the development of a project as a work of synthesis, integrating various factors - place, program, form, scale, language, etc. - resolved through drawing and three-dimensional models, privileged tools for analyzing, representing and stimulating the creative act.
- Carrying out design exercises at different scales, valuing critical thinking, the student's ability to choose, rigorous action, conception and formal consistency in the act of designing, at the same time as valuing the structuring "idea".
- Always take into account existing urban planning constraints and the applicable regulatory frameworks, namely: the Municipal Master Plan; the General Regulations for Urban Buildings (RGEU); Accessibility; Fire Safety.
- Developing working skills in class, in a studio environment, stimulating exchanges of opinion during presentations of work, seeking to optimize the exchange of ideas and develop self-criticism.
Syllabus - To investigate and analyze a real urban context and identify the public utility facilities in the town of Unhais da Serra.
- Identify a lack of facilities for the elderly and investigate appropriate functional programs for different types of space.
- Design a facility to support the elderly, including residences, integrated into a real urban context and involving fundamental architectural principles such as: architectural language; integration and relationship with the surroundings; technical feasibility, sustainable dimension of the problem; etc.
- Integrate the ruin of a small industrial building (Pisão) into the project to be carried out. This could be the object of architectural rehabilitation or simply integrated as a physical object for the spatial organization of the exterior arrangements and an expression of the town's cultural memory.
- Understand and resolve the architectural structure/form for a building with very specific uses, as a result of multiple demands.

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.
Language Portuguese. Tutorial support is available in English.
