Learning Goals
This theoretical-practical course aims to broaden and deepen knowledge in theoretical culture and critical elaboration skills:
1. Deepening of Architecture understood as an autonomous disciplinary body;
2. Deepening of Architecture as a Construction Process that implies a support for an inhabitation inseparable from a locality, a purpose and a home;
3. Deepening of Architecture as an event continuously experienced and lived, expressed in certain atmospheres arising from its visible and invisible qualities;
4. Bringing students closer to critical reflection on Architecture, providing them with knowledge and tools that can allow them to judge the value of Architecture, as well as stimulate creativity and the process of the Architectural Project itself.

Teaching Methods
Theoretical-practical practice classes, active learning methodologies. Dialogic approach based on the exposure of contents, debates, group discussions, short workshops, focused on solving problems in a real context and collaborative project design. Soft skills: communication skills, teamwork and problem solving. Individual and group monitoring, stimulating collaborative learning. Self-assessment and peer review.
Assessment
The classification in this curricular unit may result from one of the following evaluation regimes: continuous evaluation or final exam.
Continuous evaluation = (0.25xA) + (0.25xC) + (0.25xC) + (0.25xD)
Evaluation by normal period exam = 0.50x[(0.25xH) + (0.25xC) + (0.25xC) + (0.25xD)] + (0.50xE)
Evaluation by appeal exam, special exam and extraordinary exam = 0.40x[(0.25xA) + (0.25xC) + (0.25xC) + (0.25xD)] + (0.60xE)
Class attendance is mandatory (75% of classes).
Where:
Final Note - cannot be less than 10 points.
A, B, C, D ? practical assignments related to all components A, B, C and D indicated in the syllabus, whose arithmetic average cannot be less than 10 points.
E ? exam whose minimum grade is 10 points.
