General description A materia desenvolve un corpus tanto de coñecementos de teoría e historia dos trazados urbanos como de útiles metodolóxicos de analise. Este permitelle ao alumnado percibir o Proxecto Arquitectónico e o Proxecto Urbano como parte dun contexto mais amplo, e desenvolver un posicionamento critico ante a cidade contemporánea. Así mesmo enfróntase coa especificidade da cidade europea co obxetivo de comprender o porqué da súa existencia como un sistema de conceptos, signos,e formas.

Student portfolio The PORTFOLIO is an essential document of approximation, both through the techniques of graphic representation (drawing, photography, collage ...) as of the theoretical reflection, to the reading of the city in the different prototypical space scopes studied.
The drawings, photographs, press releases, or own reflections will reproduce the students' gaze on the different scales of approach and identification of the specifically urban, and will emphasize the RELATIONS on which it operates consciously or unconsciously the URBAN PROJECT, or the ARCHITECTURAL PROJECT itself, enriching or impoverishing the scope of action.
Students throughout the academic year must prepare their portfolio individually.

Workshop Subjects P3, AA2 and U1 will coordinate their developments in space and time, during the second semester around the RESIDENCE ISSUE, in areas likely to be incorporated into the syllabi respective. It is proposed that the STUDENTS establish an INTEGRAL REFLECTION on the issue of housing for the drafting of the ARCHITECTURAL PROJECT, incorporating from the outset the variables beyond the strict PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT) derived from URBAN ANALYSIS on the different SCALES.
URBAN ANALYSIS - ARCHITECTURAL ANALYSIS - PROJECT.
They are proposed as a TEACHING UNIT that has IN THE SUBJECT HOUSING, (which in urban terms is identified such as RESIDENCE or RESIDENTIAL USE) THE VERTEBRATING AXIS.
