The topics that are addressed in the work sessions address the various factors that affect the contemporary housing project:
- Existential: the relationship between building, inhabiting and thinking, according to Martin Heidegger
- Domestic: definition of the basic activities that are carried out in the domestic space; the objects and functions that characterize the domestic space; the difference between privacy and privacy (José Luis Pardo); inhabit spaces without function (Georges Perec)
- Anthropological: the dissolution of social and family structures and their impact on the ways of living; loss of collective identity: the liquid individual in liquid society (Zygmunt Bauman); a "liquid" home for a `liquid 'society.
- Social: immigration and multiculturalism as determinants of the forms of housing and the city; intergenerational cohabitation in shared domestic spaces; participation of the inhabitants in the design processes of the domestic space (Habraken, Kroll, Friedman); the sense of belonging to the place (Alison / Peter Smithson) legislation and regulations as descriptions of the consensus models of the way of living.
- Architectural: design of neutral spaces, flexible, versatile, versatile; autonomy of the rooms; self-sufficient buildings energetically; types of housing; the link between the architectural program and contemporary social needs.
- Technological: industrialization in housing construction; open systems; mass customization; efficient housing vs. Effective housing.
- Economic: housing as a commodity (commodity); minimum housing, micropisos; Housing models determined by economic criteria: value of land, available space.
- Urban: models of diffuse and compact city; sustainable communities, self-sufficient neighborhoods; integration of various scales and functions in urban renewal projects.
The presential work sessions take place weekly, in 2-hour sessions. In addition, students develop the exercises outside of class hours. In the work sessions, professors and students expose the topics of reflection that give rise to a debate in the class. In these sessions students present the work done between sessions, which are discussed and discussed among all participants of the seminar.
The methodology adopted is constructivist, in the sense in which knowledge is built jointly between teachers and students, from the materials provided in the classes, and from the knowledge that is discovered during the realization of the exercises (learning by doing) .
The pedagogical model is based on blended learning, a learning model that combines face-to-face activities with work carried out in the virtual space facilitated by the OIKODOMOS platform (Workspaces, Case Repository). The works are developed in the form of sequences, which are linked to each other, and whose design and implementation involves students and teachers from the institutions participating in the program.
The students present the exercises in class, and in the computer environment. In this way, they can develop their communication skills, combining personal expression with computerized media.
c. Planned activities:
- Denomination
- Objective
- Workload with respect to ECTS credits
- Evaluation
The typology and distribution of activities is the following:
- PRESENTIAL (50%) Includes attendance at work sessions, and joint workshops. In these sessions the participation of the student in the debates is valued, and his capacity to expose and present his ideas publicly.
- NOPRESENCIAL (15%). Includes participation in the OIKODOMOS virtual campus. In this environment, students analyze, comment and evaluate the work of other students in other institutions. These activities contribute to know and value the collective work better and favor the development of the capacity for analysis and criticism.
- AUTONOMOUS (35%). It includes the development of the exercises outside school hours as well as the work of documentation and analysis of sources. These activities contribute to developing research capacity in terms of the identification, assessment and analysis of the sources.

1. Consider simultaneously the multiple factors that affect the contemporary habitat: anthropological, social, architectural, urban, technological, and economic.
It is valued in the analysis and classification of precedents, in the case studies documented in the repository of the course.
2. Develop the ability to critically evaluate the precedents of housing projects, while simultaneously addressing their technological, social and economic characteristics.
The ability of the student to make his own judgment based on the sources analyzed in the preceding analysis is assessed.
3. Develop the capacity to critically evaluate the integration of different spatial dimensions in the housing project: domestic, community and urban.
It is valued in the reflections made by the student himself around the case studies, as well as in the comments and evaluations of the housing projects carried out by other students, from other institutions.
4. Know how to integrate in the housing project the knowledge contributed by future residents, and design strategies that allow their participation in the process of shaping when living.
It is valued in activities specifically designed to promote dialogue and participation of the inhabitants: work meetings, communication strategies, design of methods and strategies that favor participation.
5. Acquire a broad base of multidisciplinary knowledge that can continue to develop in other subjects of higher education, particularly in projects, urban planning and composition.
It is valued in the activities carried out in the joint workshops, where urban and architectural projects are carried out in specific locations.
6. To develop the capacity for expression and communication by combining traditional media (drawing, models, photography, video) with computer specialists.
The ability to synthesize ideas and communicate them effectively to professionals and non-professionals is valued in the papers presented in the virtual campus.
7. Develop the ability to learn and work autonomously.
The appropriate use of bibliographic sources, their originality and the ability to assess their relevance and relevance for the subject under investigation is valued.
8. Develop the ability to work creatively in collaboration, using information technologies to work remotely and in teams.
The use of the different digital communication media is valued, inside and outside the Oikodomos virtual campus, to carry out a collective work process, from the approach of a problem to the presentation of the results.
9. Get to express and communicate ideas and projects, effectively, through the use of information technologies.
The use of digital techniques (powerpoint, animations, Flash) as well as programs of graphic composition, drawing and modeling is valued to adequately represent the analysis of a case study and the development of a housing project.
The evaluation of the results is carried out jointly by professors and students (self-evaluation, peer-evaluation) of the participating institutions through a rubric that describes the learning outcomes for each of the tasks performed.
