Entry requirements	.
Learning outcomes	To introduce the basic principles of Technical Drawing and Digital Representation, developing students' skills in three-dimensional visualisation. Students will be required to interpret technical drawings from different disciplines, as well as being familiar with cartographic representation methods of urban and territorial elements. They shall also acquire knowledge for executing computer-aided design projects, and recognise the potential of digital representation tools and methodologies such as GIS and BIM. Skills: a) Understanding of the rules and standards of technical drawing that allow abstract ideas to be conveyed and materialized in urban works. b) Understanding the representation and interpretation of cartographic information. c) Dominion in producing and interpreting technical drawings in accordance with current standards. d) Recognition of the specific features and potential of BIM and GIS systems.
Syllabus	1. Fundamental concepts and principles of Technical Drawing. 2. Technical drawing standards 3. Notions of orthographic representation systems, axonometric and conic perspectives. 4. Introduction to basic cartographic concepts and reading information on maps and charts. 5. Acquisition of technical knowledge for integrating information from plans, elevations and sections into a three-dimensional visualization of an architectural project. 6. Introduction to computer-aided design. 7. Principles of 3D modelling of maps (contour lines, irregular triangle networks and digital terrain models) and buildings (3D solids). 8. Introduction to the principles of BIM and GIS.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria	Assessment in the course is designed to ensure that students assimilate and can apply the theoretical and practical knowledge acquired during the semester. Assessment is carried out in two stages: - Continuous assessment: Students will be assessed through written test(s) (weighting in the final grade between 30 and 50%), which focus on the topics covered in the lectures and methodological aspects of the work carried out in the practical-laboratory classes, and 4 practical assignments (70 to 50%), duly weighted according to the evolution of their complexity throughout the semester. The minimum attendance to be assessed and the minimum competencies (minimum grade) to be admitted to the exam are established annually in accordance with UBI regulations. - Final exam: The exam has the same percentage as the written test in the continuous assessment. Practical works are included in the final assessment but cannot be improved in the exam.
Language	Portuguese. Tutorial support is available in English.
