Learning Goals
Conduct a thorough discussion, based on some assumptions about the production of contemporary architecture. This will constitute a "zero degree" on a discussion that might form the context of the thesis to be elaborated.
Acquisition of knowledge for the creation of an interpretative map, not only theoretical and historical but also extended to economic variables and Research & Development, not always explicit in the criticism of Architecture.
Written and oral skills, in order that matters are substantiated and rigorously illustrated through scientific writing.
Skills in terms of the recognition that the epistemological field of the architect is under transformation, with several implications in terms of the professional practice and its modus operandi.
Skills in responding to key issues listed in the syllabus and thereby establishing a well founded theoretical platform for the research work to be made.

Contents
This seminar aims to launch a discussion of issues related to advanced professional practice in a broad dialectical context, of a multidisciplinary nature. The syllabus focuses primarily on two components:
a) Recognize the current panorama of contemporary architecture and situate it in its cultural and economic context.
b) Reflect on the economic assumptions that Architecture promotes and the impact that the activity of Research & Development has or may have in that context.
These contents will be analyzed through the following questions:
What are the most important current issues or challenges for architects nowadays and why?
What seem like promising new roles, activities and territories for architecture in the next decade?
Which is the impact of Architecture in the economy? Can, should it be taken into consideration? how?
What recent architecture, landscape architecture Projects do you consider best or most important and why?
