General description A materia se desenvolve en réximen de talleres, prácticas, e teoría. Trata de fixar os conceptos e coñecementos adquiridos polo alumno en materias anteriores do grado e entender os mecanismos necesarios para levar a cabo as operacións de intervención urbana e edificatoria en relación coa cidade existente a través dos instrumentos de planeamento adecuados. Plantease a premisa do análise do contexto, do entendimiento do tecido urbano, do territorio e da paisaxe como punto de partida fundamental no proceso proxectual. Es por isto que a materia é eminentemente práctica enfrentando o alumno coa resolución de casos concretos. A práctica da materia está vinculada fundamentalmente ao proxecto que os alumnos desenvolvan no traballo fin de máster e, previamente, no taller vencellado a asignatura proxectos avanzados, de maneira que sirva de apoio a realización daqueles aspectos urbanísticos relacionados co proxecto que o alumno esta desenvolvendo. Por isto é recomendable cursar (o ter cursadas previamente) as asignaturas do master relacionadas co taller de arquitectura. A teoría fai fincapé sobre os instrumentos e métodos de intervención urbanística, tratase de enfrentar ao alumno cos procesos de diseño, redacción e tramitación urbanística directamente vinculados coa práctica cotidiá do arquitecto. Neste senso, a materia supón un apoio ao TFM o enfrentar o alumno coas implicacións urbanas -tanto analíticas ou proxectuais como instrumentais- que cualquer proxecto de arquitectura conleva.

Learning aims
Learning outcomes Study programme competences
Train the student to deal with urban analysis and design, as well as the problems associated with the urban legal framework that any architectural project poses. Familiarize yourself with the drafting of urban development instruments and with the problems of implantation and insertion in the city of new buildings or urbanizations. Train the student to analyze the environment when designing or proposing a new building. Become aware of the problems of the situation in the urban and territorial environment of the new building (relationships). As well as the analysis of the location from a physical point of view, (support, topography, shape, orientation, shape, limit, etc.) Finally, make the student aware of the social, economic, environmental and landscape implications that an architectural or urban intervention entails.

Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Field trip Activities developed in a context external to the university academic environment related to the field of study of the subject, linked mainly to the understanding of the "place" where the workshop work is proposed. These activities focus on the development of capacities related to direct and systematic observation, the collection of information, the execution of sketches, photographs, sketches, designs, and the analysis of the places that are the object of the project.
Workshop Aimed at the development of practical work, well linked to other subjects, in the context of carrying out a specific project (architecture workshop); or by solving practical exercises, typical of urban intervention instruments (subject workshop). Urban aspects will be addressed, both analytical and projectual as well as instrumental, related to the project being drafted.
Document analysis Methodological technique that involves the use of audiovisual and/or bibliographic documents (fragments of documentary reports or films, current news, graphic panels, photographs, biographies, articles, magazines, historical and current plans, texts, etc.) relevant to the subject matter with activities specifically designed for their analysis. It can be used as a general introduction to a topic, as a case study application instrument, for the explanation of processes that cannot be directly observed, for the presentation of complex situations or as a synthesis. Fundamentally aimed at familiarizing the student with the sources of urban information.
Diagramming It consists of a synthesis of the main contents worked on. It is an optimal resource to facilitate the understanding of reality and/or text and personal concentration on the material under study. Analysis, synthesis and diagnosis of the problems posed by the proposed case study. It is also an important aid for revision and exam preparation.
Student portfolio It is made up of the sketches, diagrams, reflections that the student accumulates throughout the development of the practice and the final presentation of the documentation prepared by the student during the workshops.
ICT practicals Methodology that allows students to learn effectively, through practical activities (demonstrations, simulations, etc.) the theory of a field of knowledge, through the use of information and communication technologies. ICTs are an excellent support and channel for information processing and practical application of knowledge, facilitating learning and development of students. Facilitates access to urban information, as well as its subsequent analysis.
Guest lecture / keynote speech Oral presentation complemented by the use of audiovisual media and the introduction of some questions addressed to the students, in order to transmit knowledge and facilitate learning on specific topics that are considered essential for the development of practical work.
Practical test: Test in which the student is expected to fully or partially develop some practice that they have previously done during the practical classes. The practical test may previously include the resolution of a question/problem that results in the practical application of a certain technique or practice learned.
Mixed objective/subjective test Test that integrates essay test type questions and objective test type questions.
As for essay questions, collect open development questions. In addition, as objective questions, you can combine multiple-choice, ordering, short-answer, discrimination, completion, and/or association questions. The test will also be linked to the specific work developed during the course.

Mixed objective/subjective test A6 A11 A12 B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 B6 B7 B8 C1 C3 C4 C5 C6 C7 C8 The mixed test tries to assess the assimilation by the student of the knowledge exposed during the course. 40
Workshop A6 A11 A12 B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 B6 B7 B8 C1 C3 C4 C5 C6 C7 C8 It is about the development of practical exercises. In the case of the architecture workshop, it is linked to a specific architecture project that will be considered each course. In the case of the subject workshop, they may be one or more small exercises aimed at fixing key concepts. In the case of the architecture workshop, it is mandatory to take all the signatures that compose it. 30
ICT practicals A6 A11 B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 B6 B7 B8 C1 C3 C4 C5 C6 C7 C8 Each year the use of new technologies in the development of the workshops will be valued. In the development of the subject, special reference will be made to GIS. 10
