Learning outcomes |
This course unit advances towards intermediate and advanced levels of digital design in architecture, deepening the use of 3D modelling tools, rendering techniques and BIM platforms. It aims to enable students to develop skills in applying digital methodologies to the creation of complex architectural projects, from initial concept to high-quality visual communication.
The integration of BIM tools is explored comprehensively, with an emphasis on coordination and interoperability between disciplines, allowing students to understand digital workflows within architectural and construction practice.
The unit promotes a critical and innovative approach to digital technologies, preparing students for contemporary professional practice.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Assessment in this course unit is continuous and face-to-face and therefore requires attendance, participation, regularity and continuity of discussion, a minimum level of quality in the work produced, and the fulfilment of the learning objectives. For this reason, attendance in all classes and the completion of all assignments do not automatically guarantee approval.
The semester includes an individual exercise developed in different phases. Late submissions are not accepted.
As a continuous assessment course without a final exam, approval is obtained through the following grading criteria: Class participation (20%) + Exercise grades (80%).
Attendance is compulsory, with a minimum requirement of 80%.
