Learning Goals
This curricular unit introduces the subject of identification of a Project strategy in an urban structure. Will be analysed remarkable buildings, for example, identifying their structural elements. Following that analysis will be accomplished an exercise where will be explored the integration of an architectonic object, the continuity of an architectonic urban structure searching for a coherent dialogue between the existing guiding rule and the proposed structure.
Objectives:
1. Expand the use of project's tools
2. To develop ability to critical observation and architectonic analysis
3. Consolidate project's communication strategies
4. To develop the ability to interpret a place and a program
5. Introduce the concept of architectonic strategy and relation between functional organization, physical definition and urban structure
6. To develop the ability to establish a congruent relation with an existing urban structure

Teaching Methods
Practical and laboratory teaching with 12 hours of weekly contact, equivalent to 12 ECTS, and tutorial support 6 hours a week at a time to be agreed. Attendance of at least 75% of classes is mandatory.
The program contents will be introduced by the teacher through classes with audiovisual support, conferences, study visits and individual or group monitoring of work.
Students will be assessed quantitatively and qualitatively in a continuous assessment regime in accordance with the interim assessments defined in the UC program and in the Assessment field of this FUC.

Assessment
This UC considers the Continuous Assessment regime (minimum grade is 10 points).
The Continuous Assessment consists of:
A1 - Intercalary evaluation 01
A2 - Intercalary evaluation 02
A3 - Intercalary evaluation 03
AF - Final presentation
(NF) Final Grade = (0.10xA1) + (0.10xA2) + (0.30xA3) + (0.50xAF)
Assessment by Examination ("Recurso", "Especial" and "Extraordinaria" periods) consists of:
AF - Final presentation
Final Grade = (0.10xA1) + (0.10xA2) + (0.30xA3) + (0.50xAF).
Attendance in classes is mandatory (75% of classes). Anyone who exceeds the number of absences will only be able to take the "Recurso" exam.
The completion of the "Especial" period and "Extraordinaria" period exams requires validation by the Academic Services.
In case the working hours of worker students (TE) coincide with the class, students must agree on the 1st week of classes with the teacher responsible for another time to present their work in person every 15 days.
