Project IV/2

Code 15232
Year 4
Semester S2
ECTS Credits 10
Workload OT(30H)/TP(150H)
Scientific area Arquitetura
Entry requirements The course has no prerequisites, but it assumes that students have successfully completed the Project courses in previous years.
Learning outcomes This semester's challenge entails developing an architectural project for an intermodal station in Fundão, within the context of integrated mobility in Beira Interior. The aim is to design a station that integrates different means of transport, such as the new surface metro, buses, taxis, active mobility (bicycles, alternative transport) and shared mobility, within a sustainable and efficient system.
Syllabus Considering the recent news of the future implementation of the surface metro between Fundão and Covilhã, and the region's integrated mobility pilot project, the project should reflect on the importance of an integration point between the various means of transport. The station will be designed to meet both the needs of the population, with a focus on accessibility, and urban integration, promoting social cohesion, energy efficiency and environmental sustainability.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria The teaching process will be continuous and face-to-face, with theoretical-practical classes (TP) and tutorial guidance (OT). Assessment will be continuous, with compulsory weekly deliveries, three assessment points during the semester and a final delivery.
- Theoretical-Practical Classes (TP): Focused on exploring the fundamental concepts of mobility, transport and urban design, integrating them into the architectural development process.
- Tutorial classes (OT): Individualised support for the development of the project, from research to final design, with weekly feedback sessions.
- Iterative Development: The methodology will be focussed on the progressive and continuous development of the project, with weekly deliveries and status reports to monitor the design process.
Language Portuguese. Tutorial support is available in English.
