Learning outcomes |
1. Critically understand the territory of the Historical Villages of Portugal, their dwelling practices, vernacular typologies, and contemporary challenges;
2. Develop analytical, surveying, and representational skills (manual drawing, photography, and critical cartography) applied to the reading of place and to the interpretation of its social, cultural, and spatial dynamics;
3. Promote design methodologies that articulate critical analysis with creative synthesis in the formulation of grounded and context-specific architectural proposals.
