This introductory unit on research in architecture seeks to provide solid skills and instruments that will enable autonomy in carrying out a qualified dissertation, both methodologically and formally, as well as scientifically. The curricular unit's objectives are therefore oriented towards acquainting students with and elucidating the relevance of methodological and scientific research in architecture, as an introduction to the development of the final master’s Dissertation/Research Project of the 5th year of the course. It studies research and work stages, research methods for the project and for the theoretical reflection of architecture and the fields of development of a dissertation proposal, namely: objectives and relevance, literature review and the importance of reasoning, structure and methodology. In this sense, the main objective is to understand the relevance of and what and how architectural research is carried out.
