| Methodologies |
| Methodologies | Description |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech | Introduction of fundamental theoretical concepts, graphical methodologies and presentation of case studies. |
| Workshop | Confluence space with the materials Proxectos 3 and Urbanística 1 |
| Supervised projects | The students will apply the concepts and methodologies to the proposed cases of study, supervised by the teaching staff. This includes the oral presentation of the work developed, the response to tests of control of the training process and the production of a document with the resulting materials. |
| ICT practicals | The students will develop specific practices in which they will apply the knowledge acquired about digital graphic tools. |
| Objective test | Students must pass, with a minimum grade of 5, the test or specific tests that are proposed to justify knowledge of the subject. Without passing them, the course can not be approved. |

| Methodologies | Competencies | Description | Qualification |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech | A40 A48 A64 B6 B7 C5 C8 | The contents of the theoretical sessions are fundamental to know the analysis techniques and objectives that will be used in the development of the work. | 5 |
| Workshop | A1 A2 A3 A4 A40 A64 B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 B6 B7 B12 C1 C2 C3 C4 C7 | The Workshop is the field of synthesis of the subject. Here, the intellectual development of the student and the knowledge of the objectives of the course, the mastery of the subject matter and the communicative resources of the architect are evidenced simultaneously. | 15 |
| Supervised projects | A1 A2 A3 A4 A40 A63 B1 B5 B12 | The objective of the subject is to train the student in the analysis of the architecture and in the management of information sources applied to real assumptions. All this is structured in a Tutored Work, which must be carried out throughout the teaching period in accordance with a scientific methodology, matching the theoretical knowledge imparted by the teaching staff. A final document will be produced where all its contents are expressed with advanced communicative strategies, typical of architecture professionals. |
45 |
| ICT practicals | A1 A2 A3 A4 B4 B5 C3 C6 | Practices that demonstrate skills in the use of digital tools exposed during classes will be developed. | 15 |
| Objective test | A63 | Specific control tests will be proposed to justify the knowledge acquired during the course. | 20 |
| Assessment comments | |||
|
1. Assistance. The students must attend the lectures and present the graphic works, models, etc. proposed, with the quality level required to overcome the subject. Attendance is compulsory at least 80% to the theoretical and practical classes, as well as to the shared workshops. Without this requirement, no student will be able to pass by course to subject. The delivery of less than 100% of the practices, in its term, will mean that the course was not followed and a note of "Not Submitted" at the first opportunity. To be able to attend the second opportunity, the students must have delivered 100% of the course practices duly supervised, they may also have to perform additional work. 2. Late registration. Students enrolled after the start of the academic year, must attend the theoretical and practical classes from the date of enrollment, with the possibility of recovery of the practices carried out until that date. 3. Opportunities. To overcome the subject, the student will have two opportunities: June and July. Anyone who does not pass the first opportunity may present himself to the second. In both cases it is practical graphic evidence. 4. Mobility. Teaching to students from mobility programs, will refer to specific pedagogical, linguistic and calendar conditions and the performance of special tutored works. |
