The student must acquire an analytical and critical vision of the problems to be solved in our profession. They must know how to structure a real solution and transform it into a graphic and written document in a clear and concise manner:
Analysis and reflection
Aptitude, ability and capacity
- To analyze architectural morphologies and typologies.
- Search of the student for references throughout the history of architecture in order to understand and seek its position in front of the project to be realized: program,
quality of spaces, implantation on the site, etc...
- Ordering and questioning the important issues to be raised in the project.
- To know how to write the concept of the project and its implementation on the site.
- To compare a program of needs to apply it to an architectural project.
Architectural Project
To understand, define and develop
- the integration of the project in the site and its territorial relationship.
- The relationship between the human scale, the environment and the buildings.
- To know how to introduce into the project the architectural elements that create the space: the envelope, the materiality, etc.
- Natural light and its impact on the project.
Didactic practice (Interconnection. Horizontal Workshop)
Understand
- Horizontal workshops help the student to discover the interconnectedness of our discipline in all fields.
Representation
Understand and apply
- The knowledge of architectural representation necessary for the specific project development and its correct understanding.
- Knowledge of different systems of representation of the project through photography, video, collage, models, 3D, etc.
- The relation of scales. Each document has its scale, and that it does not explain the same thing.
Knowledge acquired
Learn
- To draw by hand.
- To draw everything necessary to understand the project.
- The relation of scales. Each element has its scale
Understand
- We learn more from mistakes than from casual successes or inspiration.
- Designing is a constant work, with a self-critical sense, in which there is a constant search for the best way to solve the problem.
- The student's work, outside the teacher's classroom hours, is essential to improve the result.
This course pursues an exercise in which "The person and the living space" are emphasized to explain the fundamentals of architecture: space needs, use, what is necessary, what is accessory, social relations, the place, the environment, the social-cultural context, the aggregation, the materiality, etc., in short, the dwelling.materiality, etc...in short, housing.
To become aware of the measures and spaces through single-family and collective housing, in which great importance is given to the project process.great importance is given to the process of the project, its evolution, its references, its drawings,schemes, concepts, criticism and self-criticism.
