Previous Knowledge

The student must be enrolled in the third, fourth or fifth year project subject.

Objectives

Throughout the academic period, the student must enrich their knowledge and skills in the development of their architectural models. In this way, I would have to know and master the traditional work techniques that allow him to use his models as a communication system. Thus, it must know how to transmit messages of a conceptual nature (idea, intention, information, experiences, ...) or of a more pragmatic nature (facades, interiors, volumetries, ...).

On the other hand you must learn to choose and combine factors to develop a model according to your project (materials, scales, colors, textures, ...), and thus master the model for its function.

Likewise, the student must understand the model as a tool that allows him to verify throughout the process those points of interest in which he is working. Thus, it will have to develop quick, clear and decisive models that allow it to project and make decisions.

Objectives collected in R.D .:
1. Ability to create architectural projects that satisfy the aesthetic and technical demands.
8. Understanding the problems of structural design, construction and engineering linked to building projects.

Contents

The subject of Maquet Workshop is proposed by the need for learning, cultivation and assimilation by the student, of the realization of physical architectural models. In her it is proposed to work, always on projects of the own student, the different scales of a project, and with it the practice of specific techniques on diverse materials. The scale, the intention of the project, the degree of abstraction, the communication and the project process will be worked on.

B- KNOWLEDGE

B6- GRAPHICAL RESTITUTION. Understanding or knowledge of measurement techniques and graphical survey of buildings and urban and natural areas in all its phases from the drawing of notes to scientific restitution.

B17- MORPHOLOGY AND REPRESENTATION OF THE GROUND. Understanding or knowledge of the topography, hypsometry and cartography bases and the ground modification techniques required to carry out studies and projects of a territorial, urban and landscape nature and to practice demarcation and subdivision.

Methodology

The student learns by practicing during the realization of models corresponding to their projects. The rhythm of the subject will go hand in hand with the requests of the subject of projects that the student is studying.
The class has a workshop format with a maximum of 24 students, where, with a minimum theoretical load, we will learn from the practice, having to work in the teaching hours and at home.
