General description
The subject Physics for Architecture 2 provides an introduction to physical phenomena relevant to architectural design and how they are included in current regulations.
The behavior of fluids is studied, both moving and at rest, as well as heat transfer focused to building envelopes. It also includes contents of applied acoustics, electricity and, finally, theory of light and color.
The subject Physics for Architecture 2 provides an introduction to physical phenomena relevant to architectural design and how they are included in the current mandatory regulations.
This is, therefore, a course of physics applied to architecture which includes an approach to hydrostatic contents - that will allow the students, for example, to determine hydrostatic thrusts on walls or slabs-; hydrodynamics - focusing especially on the behavior of fluids inside ducts; concepts of thermodynamics and hygrometry focused on the study of the envelopes of buildings and the thermal conditioning of architectural spaces; acoustics applied to the insulation and conditioning of premises; besides contents about electricity and theory of light and color. Whenever possible, the concepts explained apply to real architectural situations, underscoring the relationship between physics and architecture.
Contingency plan
1. Modifications to the contents
The contents of the subject are not modified.
2. Methodologies
Two scenarios are contemplated:
-Scenario 1: Hybrid teaching, in which only interactive sessions can be carried out in a presence-based modality.
-Scenario 2: Distance teaching, in which the entire teaching becomes online.
*Teaching methodologies that are maintained
Scenario 1 (hybrid teaching): All teaching methodologies are maintained. The keynote speech sessions will be held online, through the platform that the UDC enables for this purpose (Teams or similar). In order to give more dynamism to the online sessions, the teacher can state a previous reading. The mixed tests held at class will be done on-site during the interactive sessions. Submission of dossiers with exercises will be made via Moodle.
Scenario 2 (distance teaching): Both expository and interactive teaching will be carried out on-line. All methodologies are maintained. The keynote speech sessions will be held online, through the platform that the UDC enables for this purpose (Teams or similar). In order to give more dynamism to the online sessions, the teacher can state a previous reading. The interactive sessions will be held online (Teams or similar). In this case they may consist of the explanation of exercises by the teacher, or correction and solving doubts on exercises that the teacher has previously provided to the students for solving at home. The mixed tests held at classs will be conducted online. Submission of dossiers with exercises will be made via Moodle.
*Teaching methodologies that are modified
Methodologies are not modified.
3. Mechanisms for personalized attention to students
Presence-based tutoring will be maintained if possible. In any case, the following personalized attention channels are contemplated:
-Teams, channel: a Teams channel will be opened for queries. The channel will be permanently open and questions will be answered as soon as possible.
-E-mail: students will have the possibility to ask questions also through the teachers' e-mail. However, the Teams channel will preferably be used so that topics can be available to all students.
-Teams, virtual session: in case of questions that present difficulties for their resolution in writing, or require direct interaction, a virtual session will be held with the student.
4. Modifications in the evaluation
Scenario 1 (hybrid teaching): The assessment disaggregation indicated in the teaching guide is maintained. The mixed tests held at class will be done on-site during the interactive sessions. Submission of dossiers with exercises will be made via Moodle. The final objective test will be carried out on-site as long as the competent body authorizes it. In the event that the objective test is not possible on-site, it will be carried out synchronously online.
Scenario 2 (distance teaching): The assessment disaggregation indicated in the teaching guide is maintained. The mixed tests held at class will be done on-site during the interactive sessions. Submission of dossiers with exercises will be made via Moodle. The final objective test will be carried out on-site as long as the competent body authorizes it. In the event that the objective test is not possible on-site, it will be carried out synchronously online.
*Evaluation observation
In the event that any student has difficulties with computer equipment or Internet connection to synchronously access the telematic tools provided by the UDC (Teams, Moodle, etc.), for handling both in lessons and in a hypothetical online test, they must communicate this circumstance tothe teaching staff as soon as possible, in order to find a solution.
5. Modifications to the bibliography or webgraphy
The bibliography indicated in the teaching guide is not modified. If new basic documentation is considered during the period of confinement, it will be made available to students through Moodle.
(*)The teaching guide is the document in which the URV publishes the information about all its courses. It is a public document and cannot be modified. Only in exceptional cases can it be revised by the competent agent or duly revised so that it is in line with current legislation.
