Sustainable Development Goals

Learning Goals

The objectives of this course are:
1. The interaction with the practice and the of Advanced Project II discipline, with special emphasis on the implementation of specialty projects in the detailing phase;
2. The theoretical component of the will focus on the analysis and interpretation of the construction system and the detailing of remarkable buildings;
3. The visit of works in progress accompanied by the technicians in charge (coordinator of the architectural project, site manager, supervisor of works).

Contents

Continuation of the contents taught in the Architecture and Technology I, II and III courses. Introduction to the practice of integrated design with the different specialties:
- Interdisciplinarity of the architectural project;
- Structural design as inseparable from formal design;
- Process management in conjunction with specialties (stakeholders, responsibilities, BIM platform);
- Project and work: organization of the process and communication to the work;
- Bases for the preparation of technical specifications of the work;
- Graphic representation/conventions;
- Practical application of the knowledge acquired, through the articulated development of the project with the corresponding Advanced Project II course.

The aforementioned compatibility takes place through the realization of exercises of application of the different specialties on notable cases of architecture and/or on the project that is being developed, contemporaneously, in the Design course.

Teaching Methods

The course is organized into theoretical-practical classes, which are organized into oral presentations, exercises and discussion, reports and technical visits. Depending on the nature of the exercises, the evaluations are accompanied by the teachers of the 2nd Cycle of the corresponding Advanced Project course.

Assessment

The classification results from one of the following evaluation regimes:
1. Continuous evaluation;
2. Final exam.

In continuous assessment, the results of attendance, group work and attendance are considered.
Final grade = (0.6xF) + (0.2xT) + (0.1xAM) + (0.1xA), with a minimum grade of 10 points.

In the normal season exam, the results of the exam, group work and attendance are considered.
Final grade = (0.7xEN) + (0.1xT) + (0.1xAM) + (0.1xA), with a minimum grade of 10 points.

In the appeal exam, only the result of the exam is considered.
Final grade = (1.0xE), with a minimum grade of 10 points.
Class attendance is mandatory (75% of classes).

Where:
F- frequencies whose average cannot be less than 9.0 values and the minimum grade in each frequency cannot be less than 7.0 values.
EN- exam with a minimum grade of 10.
T- group assignments whose average cannot be less than 10 points.
AM- monitoring of the article.
A- attendance at classes.
