Objectives

The workshop´s objective consists in researching all the elements that determine the essence of a project.

Contents

The workshop encourages students to carry out specific projects that include restoration work, new building work or interventions related to the landscape. The recognition of the place has to promote students to think and to research about the building nature and technology of the project that this researching line includes.

Methodology

A basic workshop of projects is carried out. The election of the project and the program has the following conditions:
The theme will be open and creative. It should include all the aspirations of the student that will carry it out. It has to be extraordinarily rigorous in themes of structure, sustainability and facilities, etc.
The workshop is complemented with speeches before every session. These are about themes not very known but that contain many concepts, themes and projects that apparently are not present nowadays, but that have values that can be used today and in the future.
The analysis of an emblematic house, intends to run away from most of the regular publications in architecture magazines and books. For this reason, it is necessary to found and discover those innovating elements and solutions that each building work contains.
