General description Curso inicial dos estudos da Escola de Arquitectura, o primeiro cuadrimestre da carreira
quere iniciar a formación da/o futura/o arquitecta/o atendendo dende os momentos
iniciais, ó triple soporte reflexivo, proxectivo e construtivo do feito
arquitectónico.
Dentro del, Introdución á Arquitectura é a única materia obrigatoria dentro do bloque proxectual e é a encargada de espertar ou de acrecentar o interese pola Arquitectura e pola súa razón de ser, aproximándose ó seu concepto dende a teoría e dende a historia e fomentando a capacidade analítica, o sentido crítico e o desenvolvemento lóxico do alumnado no amplo campo que vai da cidade ao deseño elemental, como territorio propio da arquitectura.
Contingency plan No caso de que se produzan circunstancias excepcionais motivadas pola Pandemia COVID 19, que impidan a docencia presencial prevista, plantéxase o paso desta á modalidade docente non presencial baseada no soporte TIC proporcionado pola Universidade.
Utilizarase o conxunto de ferramentas TIC, posto a disposición pola Universidade, especialmente a plataforma Moodle, Teams e o correo electrónico para a comunicación có estudantado.

1. Modificacións nos contidos.
No caso de continxencia adoptaranse as medidas necesarias para garantir a calidade do ensino e a integridade dos contidos. Non se realizan cambios nos contidos.

2. Metodoloxías
*Metodoloxías docentes que se manteñen:
Mantense o conxunto das metodoloxías docentes empregadas, pasando a docencia a desenvolverse de xeito non presencial, total ou parcialmente.
*Metodoloxías docentes que se modifican:
Non está previsto modificar metodoloxías docentes

3. Mecanismos de atención personalizada al alumnado.
Os mecanismos de atención personalizada ó estudantado utilizarán as plataformas sinaladas con anterioridade postas a disposición pola Universidade: Moodle, Microsoft Teams y el Correo electrónico institucional.
Temporalización: a establecida segundo o calendario e horario académicos fixados polo centro ó comezo do curso.

4. Modificacións na avaliación
Suprimiranse aqueles criterios que impliquen asistencia e presencialidade. Este principio terá validez temporalmente dende o momento no que exista instrución de aplicación do presente Plan de Continxencia.
Mantéñense o resto dos criterios de avaliación.
Para o alumnado con dificultades xustificadas para realizar probas ou entregas, poderanse prever solucións alternativas personalizadas.

5. Modificacións da bibliografía ou webgrafía
Mantense a bibliografía proposta para a asignatura. Subiranse aos soportes de intercambio de arquivos institucionais aqueles textos, fragmentos de textos ou outro material, cuxo coñecemento é imprescindible para superar a materia.

Clases teóricas e exposicións orais complementadas có uso de medios audiovisuais, coa finalidade de transmitir ós estudantes as bases fundamentais dos coñecementos e facilitar a súa aprendizaxe, facendo fincapé no feito de ser a única materia dentro do bloque proxectual arquitectónico, convertíndose así no primeiro contacto que ten o alumnado co carácter teórico, proxectivo, constructivo e territorial da Arquitectura.
Directed discussion Discusións dirixidas.

Fomentarase a adquisición de coñecemento de modo autónomo a través da utilización de novas tecnoloxías para a realización de buscas dirixidas.
Field trip Saídas de campo mas que se realizarán visitas guiadas polo profesorado a obras de arquitectura e a cidades de Galicia vinculadas ó temario.
Supervised projects Como complemento das discusións dirixidas e có obxectivo de promover a aprendizaxe autónoma e grupal dos estudantes, desenvolveranse continuadamente traballos prácticos de tipo analítico e/ou gráfico en diversos formatos baixo a tutela do profesorado, tanto en grupos reducidos como en titorías individualizadas que atendan ás consultas puntuais de forma personal. Todo baixo o soporte dun Entorno Virtual Docente [ENVIDO] que facilitará o contacto e o seguemetno do estudante.

Assessment comments

The evaluation of the course is configured as a weighted sum of tutoring woks and exams. Each of the three parts form the qualification (individual work, collective work and exam) are rated from 0 to 10 points, being required to achieve a minimum score of 3 points in each one of them to pass.

Attendance and participation at face-to-face classes are required to be evaluated. Non-Presential work is valued through the works according to the maximum and minimum percentages described above.

Supervised projects are individual or collective practical works developing specific and basic ideas of the contents. Graphic expression and analytical abilities will be specially considered for grading.

The objective test involves specific questions and specific analysis of texts, works or architectural fragments that enable to assess the understanding of the particular aspects of the contents and make it possible to verify their assimilation and the proper customization of rating. As a preparatory process, during the period will have some trials to understand the objective test's questions.

Students to be graded at the first opportunity (January) must meet all of the following requirements:

1. Attend 80% of the classes.

2. 80% of works in due dates

3. Collective work in due date

4. Answer all the questions in the objective test

In case of failure to comply with any of the three first points the student will get a "NP" (no presentado) in January and July oportunities.

If the student do not complete the first objective test (January) and all the requirements are passed he/she will get a "NP" (January)

The second oportunity (July) will only consists in an objective test. The same conditions are required as in the first opportunity, so students must: 1. Meet all the previous 4 requirements and obtained a grade under 5 in the first objective test. 2. Or they meet the first 3 requirements and did not attend the first objective test.

Late registration students:

1. Will have to attend al least 90% of face to face classes

2. Will have to complete all the individual and collective works in due date -after registration-

3. Works done before registration will also have to be done according to the responsible professor.

The other rules without conflicting the previous ones will affect all late registration students.

Incoming and outgoing mobility studens will be adapted to the same rules as regular students.

Previous year students who have accomplished the attendance conditions do not have to repeat it

Previous year/s students who have passed the individual works do not have to repeat them

Previous year/s students who have passed the group work do not have to repeat it.
