2.1. CONCEPTUAL
a- To better understand the constructive systems and processes of the building, by the observation of reality. Improve construction knowledge
By the direct observation of reality, we want to complement the prior and contemporary knowledge (subjects that are learnt at the same time) that we have passed on to the student.
b- Learn to observe and to assess the correspondence and conflicts between the theoretical content of a project and its materialization in the work.
Getting the student to understand that all the theoretical knowledge acquired in their training (expressed through graphic and written documents) is integrated in a multidisciplinary process that turns into a real construction. In other words, learning that the theoretical approaches have a physical and tangible impact in the course of a work.
c- Begin to learn about the activities and responsibilities of the different agents involved in the work.
Start learning, without putting them into practice for the moment, what the individual and shared responsibilities are, that needs to be managed in the course of site visits. Therefore, start knowing how to act in a work to be able to meet the set objectives
This will be achieved through three actions: observation, verification and decision. Actions that are closely related to three important concepts: knowledge, technique and ethics.
2.2. PRACTICAL
d. Learn that theoretical approaches have a physical and tangible impact in the course of a work.
In other words, understand that all the theoretical knowledge acquired in the training (expressed through graphic and written documents) are integrated in a multidisciplinary process that turns them into a real construction.
e. Get the student familiar with the construction process and understand it from a global perspective.
- Each decision has a direct impact on the materialization of the building. Getting to know this materialization of Architecture in depth will allow the student to reason, get it right and collate correctly each intervention with the various agents involved in the work, with the final objective of delivering it with the best possible result.
- Based on the previous studies of construction, knowledge is expanded, in relation to the management, aspects linked to regulations and economy as well as Safety and Prevention
f. Learn to step on a site work.
3.1. AT DE CALSSROOM
T theoretical classes, at school, where the concepts listed in objective b) will be explained.
C - discussions between the students and the teacher, in which we want to feature different people involved in the execution process of a building, once the site visits have been made.
W corrections of students' files, notebooks or notebooks
3.2. ON THE SITE
VO - Visits to works that are in different phases of execution. Several groups will be created for visits if requested by security coordination.
These activities will alternate more or less regularly, depending on the dynamics of the processes of the works to be visited.
3.3. CONTENTS OF THE NOTEBOOK
3.3.1. contents from the worksite visits
All kinds of graphic techniques can be used, preferably sketches and handwritten texts. Also, the students own photographs and consulted documents on materials or construction techniques, making a critical analysis, both theoretical and practical, of the visited worksites. This will allow the teachers to control the development of the students in the knowledge of the different disciplines and check if the level is satisfactory or on the contrary, it must be helped to a better use of the student capacities.
It is recommended to take notes during each visit and leave at least 3 or 4 blank sheets to complete the information later.
3.3.2. content from speeches
It will be required to make a synthetic summary of each of the talks of the invited professionals,
it will contain the exposed data that the student believes are the most important.
Minimum size of each summary: one DIN A5, maximum size 1 DIN A4
:
VO We will select a series of works that are of particular interest both for their project quality or for the phase of work in which they are. Site visits will be let depending on the interest or possibility of access, at each moment of the construction process, of each work.
E To make better use of the site visits, we will first explain the different projects, going deeper into the topics that correspond to the visits.
C We will also establish talks between the students and some industrialists who participate in the work.
T Some notions will be given to students about how a work is organized, agents and responsibilities, attitude and obtaining data in a work, specially at the beginning of the course.
W Each of the students will have a notebook where he/she will record all the visits.
We will establish a system of collective sessions periodically. to be able to expose and contrast the individual experiences of the different visits.
W Content part:
All the activity carried out in class must be embodied in the content of the blog, notebook or dossier. Practical work, site visits and reporting will include T & E concepts.
The evaluation of this part can be found in the DOSSIER RUBRIC attached in the eStudy
P Part of attitude:
A small part of the final mark is reserved for the attitude of the students in class:
P. Participation in class.
The assessment of this part can be found in the PARTICIPATION RUBRIC attached in the eStudy
The evaluation criteria correspond to the three objectives. The student must reflect in the workbook or dossier:
 That what did he/she observe during the site visit that seems correct or contradictory in relation of the project
 How did he/she understand the construction processes observed during the visit
 Associate these activities and observations with the various agents who took part on the site work process.
