- Know the history of architectural theories, as well as related arts, technology and human sciences. - Understand the relationships between people and buildings and between buildings and their environment, as well as the need to relate buildings and the spaces between them to human needs and scale.
The Urban Design Units aim to introduce students to the design of urban space at an intermediate scale, without disregarding reflections at a territorial scale or more precise definitions at the scale of the building and urban development project, assuming all the complexity of the daily professional practice of planning and design projects and teaching students the basic tools of the architect to read and recognize the functioning and structure of urban fabrics at different scales, proposing coherent solutions in an environment of urban complexity.
Providing basic skills and knowledge for the construction of the city, the territory, taking into account laws, history, cultures, through the resolution of real projects proposed in collaboration with different administrative entities in the field of urban planning.
MASTERPLAN: studies urban planning from the perspective of the “built” with the Urban and Territorial Project as a pedagogical tool to approach the resolution of existing problems of the existing citiies, their extension, and transformation.
LANDSCAPE UNIT: studies urban planning from the perspective of “unbuilt” with the Urban and Territorial Project as a pedagogical tool to approach the resolution of issues related to landscape.
SMART CITY: studies urban planning from the perspective of the functional dynamics, using the Urban and Territorial Project as a pedagogical tool to approach the resolution of issues related to metabolism, mobility, etc.
COOPERATION: studies urban planning from the perspective of its social dynamics, using the Urban and Territorial Project as a pedagogical tool to approach the resolution of issues related to the distribution of public and private services, as well as the relationship between the various agents and stakeholders.
The Units are conducted in a workshop format, incorporating exercises, reviews, group discussions, and supporting theoretical and practical classes. The activities enable participants to identify and recognize key urban elements, as well as develop and implement improved design solutions tailored to the context.
Each Unit details its methodologies in its own description.
(Complements the existing Assessment Regulations:

Criteria for the evaluation of results:
In accordance with article 5 of Royal Decree 1125/2003, of September 5, the results obtained by the student in each of the subjects of the curriculum, will be graded according to the following numerical scale from 0 to 10, with the expression of one decimal place, to which the corresponding qualitative grade may be added:
0-4.9: Suspended (SS) | 5.0-6.9: Passed (AP) | 7.0-8.9: Notable (NT) | 9.0-10: Excellent (SB).
Special ratings.
- 0.0, this grade is reserved for cases arising from the application of disciplinary sanctions.
- Not Presented (NP). This is the grade that will be assigned when a student has not participated in a sufficient number of evaluation activities.
As a general criterion, the number of assessment activities will be considered sufficient if the Highly Significant Assessment Activities in which a student has participated represent an aggregate weight equal to or greater than 50% of the total weight of the highly significant assessment activities.
- Matrícula de Honor (MH): this grade may be awarded to those students who have obtained a grade equal to or higher than 9.0, according to the criteria of the faculty responsible for the subject or the Evaluation Board. According to R.D. 1125/2003, the number of honors may not exceed 5% of the number of students enrolled. If the number of students enrolled is less than 20, one honorary registration may be awarded.

Each Unit has its own statement detailing its evaluation system, categorizing activities, and specifying other particularities and restrictions.
The set of in-class exercises and the work on the project will be evaluated according to the specific weight that each one has on the total of the activities and that demonstrate that the knowledge has been achieved insofar as the student knows how to identify and recognize the main urban elements, as well as solve and apply the best solutions in designs appropriate to the context.
Each Unit will contribute its own bibliography and specific resources.
