Learning Goals

This curricular unit deepens the subject of interaction between architectonic project and the structure of the urban

core, benefiting from the developed research in curricular units Urbanism I and Urbanism II. . Will be analysed

remarkable architectonic projects, for example, accordingly, mostly, to its integration in urban context. Following

that analysis will be accomplished one exercise, in which must correspond increase of complexity and scale,

assuming the program while essential data and regulator of the project.

Objectives:

4. Consolidate methodological basis of spatial composition

5. Consolidate ability to establish a congruent relation with an existing urban structure

Teaching Methods

The teaching methodology frames and potentiates the objectives of the curricular unit, earching to ensure its coherence:

1. By personalized and tutorial attendance, through experience and verification, in a context of laboratorial practice (atelier) stimulating critical and analytic readings.

2. Accordingly to the outset to stimulate transversality with taught issues in other curricular units, particularly the ones related to cities and urban design studies.

3. Audiovisual supported classes, lectures and study visits.

4. The evaluation system searches to underline the curricular objectives, promoting continuous work and setting of knowledge, as well as development of research methodologies, essential conditions to foster students critical inquiry.

Assessment

Evaluation is ruled only by continuous evaluation system, resulting on attendance of the students’ work along the semester, and will be achieved based on demonstration of dominion of taught contents. The students must assist, mandatorily, to 75% of the classes, to be able to get approval in the curricular unit.
