| 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. During the lectures, the contents of each work will be further explained, along with group assessments. Attendance acreditation: notes and sketches taken on your portfolios. Homework hours: the keynote speech content will be extended with bibliographic references, personal notes, pictures or sketches. |
| Student portfolio | Notebook with blank sheets to be completed by the students with personal reflections, content from the lectures delivered, drawings and sketches of the workshop practices, etc. |
| 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 workshop scheduled time, students will develop their design work with the support and supervision of teachers. Homework hours: students will review and complete their work. Workshop attendance Accreditation: Delivery of hand-ins developed in each session. The teacher will keep a register of the works assessed. All students must personally assess their work with the teacher. |
| Objective test | At the end of the academic period, students must take a practical test in order to evaluate the skills achieved. Capacitiy and aptitudes in relation to the basics of architectural design are measured using this objective test. Objective test preparation: development of workshop activities, attendance at keynote sessions, graphic analysis of referencial works of architecture, review of the work itself. |

| Methodologies | Competencies | Description | Qualification |
| Workshop | A34 A39 A50 A55 A63 B1 B2 B3 B6 B10 B12 C1 C5 C6 C7 C8 | Progressive, continuous and global assessment. Pass conditions are: 1. Students are expected to hand in every scheduled piece of work. There must be a positive progression in our evaluation of their work. 2. Students are expected to attend every workshop session. A minimum of 80% attendance is required. The assessment of the Design Workshop will take into account the student's personal work, supervised by the teacher. Evaluation criteria: - Layout composition. - Adequate selection of the graphic content. - Coherence between purpose and proposal. - Precise graphic representation: adequacy of scale, enough information to define the space, spatial and mastering architectonic criteria (light, order, rythm, proportions) Orthographic projections (plans, elevations and sections) must agree. - Line weight and types. - Configuration and position of stairs, circulation paths and entrances. - Accuracy and precision of anthropometric measurements. - Implementation of theoretical contents delivered on lectures within the workshop practices |

| 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. |
