"Architecture how to Do" is the central theme of curricular unit of Theory of Architecture II, following curricular unit of Architecture Theory I:
1. Architecture as practice understood as autonomous disciplinary body.
2. Architecture as a construction process that implies a support to an inseparable dwelling of a place, a purpose and a place.
3. Architecture as a continuously experienced and lived event, expressed in certain atmospheres arising from their visible and invisible qualities.
4. Architecture as a "construction of happiness", inseparable of an ethics, in other words, the grounding in a good way of making and living (the Architecture itself) in the world.
5. Students' approach to critical thought about Architecture, delivering them knowledge and tools likely to allow judgmental about Architecture, as well as to stimulate creativity and the Architecture Project process itself.

Assessment
Continuous Assessment regime (CA):
2 written tests (WT1 and WT2) + participation (P). The Final Grade (FG) is calculated using the formula: FG = {[(WT1+WT2): 2]x0,90}+(Px0,10)
Students with FG ≤9.4 fail CA and have access to the Resit Exam, consisting of a written (W) and oral (O) test.
Access to the oral exam (O) requires a mark ≥7.5 in the written exam (W). A mark of ≥9.5 in the written exam (W) allows the oral exam (O) to be exempt.
The Final Grade (FG) is calculated according to one of the formulae:
FG = {(E+O):2]x0,60)} + (WT1 or WT2x0,40) or NF = (Ex0,60) + [(F1 or F2)x0,40].
A student who misses WT1 or WT2 will proceed to the Final Assessment regime.
Final Assessment regime (FA):
The Normal Exam (NE) and the Resit Exam (RE) consist of a written test (W) and an oral test (O).
Access to the oral exam (O) requires a mark ≥ 7.5 in the written test (W). The Final Grade (FG) for NE and RE is calculated according to the formula:
FG= (E+O):2
