Learning Goals
This practical-laboratory course synthesizes approaches and themes explored in all courses, reflecting the synthesis character of this course and consolidating the understanding of the project as a process of knowledge and research. The exercise, organized according to a complex program, promotes the integration of diverse knowledge (such as history, theory, construction, and technology) and the coordination of special projects. It is interconnected with the contents taught in the Execution Project Course.
Specific objectives:
1. To consolidate the issue of advanced research in architecture;
2. Respond to complex programs and contexts;
3. Master the ability to critically and constructively analyze;
4. Integrate and coordinate areas of knowledge into a coherent whole;
5. Consolidate and operationalize the issues of construction physics;
6. Develop the ability to reflect theoretically on the project;
7. Master the design tools and their communication.

Contents
The syllabus of the UC is implemented through:
1. Elaboration of essays that articulate different knowledge and redesign of case studies as tools for critical analysis and deepening of knowledge;
2. Project research methods;
3. Development of a practical exercise that involves the critical interpretation and design of a complex program in a real context/territory, exploring innovative, poetic and coherent solutions, with the potential to generate research themes;
4. Study of materials, their application and suitability, and infrastructure systems and coordination of specialties;
5. Application of design instruments, including manual and digital drawing, models and 3D simulations;
6. Use of the theoretical foundation, oral presentation and presentation of the project;
7. Theoretical classes, participation in conferences, workshops and study visits that complement the practical training of students.

Teaching Methods
Laboratory practice classes, active learning methodologies, co-teaching. Weekly workload of 12 hours of contact, plus 6 hours of tutorial monitoring. 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. In addition to Problem/Project Based Learning, Studio Based Learning will be incorporated into projects in a real context. Use of digital resources: use of moodle and zoom to organize materials and facilitate learning and communication. Use of CAD/BIM and 3D simulation software. Soft skills: communication skills, teamwork and problem solving. Individual and group monitoring, stimulating collaborative learning. Self-assessment and peer review. Drawing and models as instruments of rehearsal and conceptual experimentation.
Assessment
Continuous and formative assessment, encouraging self-reflection and improvement. Based on project presentations, oral presentations, models, reviews, participation in classes, workshops, study visits and conferences. The criteria communicated at the beginning of the semester, ensuring transparency and understanding of students. Students will be encouraged to participate in self-evaluation, peer evaluation, and in the definition of evaluation moments and criteria, promoting their autonomy and critical reflection.
