2.1. CONCEPTUAL OBJECTIVES
2.1.1. Observe and evaluate the correspondence and conflicts between the theoretical content of a project and its materialization in the work.
2.1.2. Better understand, from the observation of reality, the construction systems and processes of the building.
2.1.3. Begin to become aware of the activities and responsibilities of the different agents involved in the work. Therefore, start knowing how to act in a work to be able to reach the set objectives
This will be achieved through three actions: observation, verification and decision. Actions that, one by one, are closely related to these three important concepts: knowledge, technique and ethics
2.2. PRACTICAL OBJECTIVES
2.2.1. Make the student understand that all the theoretical knowledge acquired in their training (expressed through graphic and written documents) are integrated in a multidisciplinary process that turns them into a real construction. In other words, learning that the theoretical approaches have a physical and tangible impact in the course of a work. .
2.2.2. Familiarize the student with the entire construction process and understand it from a global perspective. Each decision has a direct impact on the materialization of the building. Knowing in depth this materialization of Architecture, will allow the student to reason, correct and collate correctly each intervention with the various agents involved in the work, with the final objective of delivering it with the best possible result .
3.1. CONTENTS
There will be two types of sessions during the course:
- Some of a theoretical nature at school, in which:
a). in a few class sessions, the most conceptual aspects of construction management will be discussed and the concepts learned in other subjects will be reviewed from the construction management point of view
b). before site visits, the most relevant features and the state of the work at the time of the visit will be exposed
c). a discussion of the work visited between the teacher and the students and the short-term objectives of this visit
d). corrections of students' work
- Some of an eminently practical nature:
d). visits to works that are in different phases of execution. They will be the majority in this subject
3.2. TEMPORALITY
TOTAL ANNUAL DEDICATION 156 hours
Dedication to the subject 6 credits at 26 hours / credit = 156 hours
Annual commitment 34 weeks (30 lessons)
Annual commitment 156 hours / 34 weeks = 4.58 hours / week: 2 h in class and 2.58 h of study, research and individual work
- We will select a series of works that are of particular interest both for their quality of the project and for the phase of work in which they are.
- Several groups will be formed for the visits (it is advisable not to exceed 7 people per group).
- We will make visits to the work (two full class hours) assigning groups of students in different shifts to each of them.
- For a better use, we will explain the different projects beforehand, going deeper into the topics that correspond with the visits. We will also hold talks with some of the industrialists who participate.
- All students will have a notebook where they will record all the visits, making a critical analysis, both theoretical and practical through writings, sketches, photographs. This will allow monitoring by the teachers to control the development in the knowledge of the different disciplines and check if the level is satisfactory, in order to influence a better use of their capacities.
- Periodically we will establish a system of collective sessions to be able to expose and contrast the individual experiences of the different visits. It must also be a forum open to proposals for changes in the construction processes that are being debated. This will enrich general knowledge and help to make the student aware that theoretical approaches have a physical and tangible impact in the course of a work.
G. Practical work: site visits and completion of dossiers
The subject is mostly practical and the assessment will be as well
J. Participation in class
There is an ongoing evaluation part. Therefore, in order to pass, attendance at a minimum of 50% of classes and a proactive attitude will be required.
Conditions to be able to pass every convocation: Minimum attendance at 50% of theory classes and debates and at 80% of site visits.
The evaluation criterion corresponds to the three objectives. The student must reflect in the notebook or work file:
- what he observed during the site visit and which seems correct or contradictory to the project or his own knowledge
- that he has understood the construction processes observed during the visit
- that he knows how to associate these activities and observations with the different agents who have taken part in the work
