1 - Deepen the historical and technical knowledge of Mediterranean architecture.
Students will need to acquire an advanced understanding of the distinctive characteristics, historical evolution, and construction methods of Mediterranean architecture. This includes the study of traditional materials, construction techniques, and the climate adaptation of structures throughout different periods and Mediterranean regions.

2 - Develop critical and analytical skills applied to the study of Mediterranean architecture.
Students will be trained to critically analyze Mediterranean architectural examples, identifying cultural, social, and environmental influences in the works. The ability to discern how these factors have shaped the aesthetics and functionality of regional architecture will be encouraged, applying these insights to contemporary projects.

3 - Foster the integration of sustainability and adaptation concepts in architectural design inspired by Mediterranean models.
Students will explore how the design principles and sustainability strategies present in Mediterranean architecture can be adapted and applied to new architectural projects. This objective seeks to promote innovation in architectural design that responds to both modern needs and environmental challenges while maintaining a dialogue with the architectural traditions of the Mediterranean.

COMPETENCIES
Basic and general:
CG2 - Ability to create architectural projects that meet both aesthetic and technical demands and the requirements of their users, respecting the limits imposed by budgetary factors and construction regulations.
IS1 - Ability to analyze and synthesize conceptual frameworks, generating new knowledge.
IS5 - Ability to communicate orally and in writing in one’s own language in a technical architectural explanation.
IS8 - Ability to acquire information management skills (ability to search for and analyze information from various sources).
CB6 - Possess and understand knowledge that provides a basis or opportunity to be original in the development and/or application of ideas, often in a research context.
CB7 - Students should know how to apply the knowledge they have acquired and their problem-solving abilities in new or unfamiliar environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their field of study.
CB8 - Students should be able to integrate knowledge and face the complexity of making judgments based on incomplete or limited information, including reflections on the social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgments.
CB9 - Students should know how to communicate their conclusions and the knowledge and reasoning behind them to specialized and non-specialized audiences in a clear and unambiguous way.
CB10 - Students should possess the learning skills that enable them to continue studying in a largely self-directed or autonomous manner.

IT3 - Able to work in an international context.
IT1 - Able to acquire critical and self-critical abilities.

Specific:
A4 - P-FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING. Aptitude or ability to develop building programs, considering the requirements of clients and users, analyzing precedents and location conditions, applying standards, and establishing dimensions and relationships of spaces and equipment.
A8 - P-ARCHITECTURAL CRITICISM. Aptitude or ability to analyze the morphology and typology of architecture and the city to explain the formal and programmatic precedents of design solutions.
