| Methodologies |
| Methodologies | Description |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech | The theoretical content delivered will help students to deal with the proposed works and to understand the learning aims. Workshop practices are introduced as well. It will explained and clarified the contents of work . Similarly, combined with group corrections developed exercises . Accreditation to attend the master class: sketches, design on a specific book (white pages). Non-contact hours : complete notes from the keynote peech with bibliographic consultations, graphic or textual nature , photos or sketches. |
| Student portfolio | Conxunto dos traballos realizados ao longo do curso, xunto con apuntamentos gráficos e escritos, acompañados de aclaracións e esquemas da sesión maxistral, conferencias e eventos, se procede, e notas do estudo persoal, e da observación da realidade. |
| Workshop | In workshop sessions diverse methods are merged to enhance learning (Individual and/or team work, presentations of the results, debates and analysis, as well as individualised tutoring). Students will develop design projects, helped by the teachers' support and guidance. The Design Workshop is planned for small groups. This workshop is the foundation of this subject. In the hour workshop , students develop their design work , with the support and supervision of teachers. Non-contact hours: students will review and complete their work. Accreditation workshop attendance : Delivery of work done in each weekly session. |
| Objective test | At the end of the academic period, students must take a practical test in order to evaluate skills achieved. Capacitiy and aptitudes in relation to the basics of architectural design are measured using this objective test. Practice test preparation : development of workshop activities , attendance at keynote sessions , graphic study of the works of architecture references in each of the workshop activities , review of the work itself . |

| Other comments | |
| - Drawing skills are a fundamental tool for this subject, so it requires special attention in order to acquire the appropriate level. - Knowledge of modern theories about the Arts, Philosophy, and Science are considered to be highly useful, as they were essential for the avant-garde architecture from the twentieth-century. Interest in the Arts, including cinema and music, will be helpful as well -Required aptitudes are intellectual curiosity, talent for observation, abstract spatial awareness and sensitivity - Manual dexterity to build scale models is needed, being able to work with common materials to express different architectural intentions (heaviness/lightness, transparency/opacity, mass/emptyness, contrast…) is also fundamental. |
