General description As intencións básicas que sustenta o desenvolvemento da materia son as de profundar no proxecto de arquitectura a nivel medio-alto, utilizando as experiencias e coñecementos adquiridos tamén noutras disciplinas. Así mesmo trátase de promover o entendemento de que o proxecto forma parte dun proceso complexo que o alumno ha de analizar e desenvolver, sintetizando etapas anteriores de aprendizaxe unida a un proceso persoal de investigación continuo.

O curso estuda os problemas que expón a intervención na cidade, tanto nas súas áreas consolidadas como periféricas, con proxectos coherentes e libres, penetrando na auténtica lección que nos proporciona o coñecemento do pasado e as necesidades do presente-futuro, para revitalizar a estrutura urbana, entendendo o espazo construído urbano como o lugar onde se desenvolven as relacións sociais, de convivencia e o habitar humano.

O curso ten unha entidade unitaria que se centra no estudo do lugar, co obxectivo básico de elaborar e desenvolver o tema da vivenda colectiva, razón de ser da construción da cidade. Para iso contémplase a análise e a resolución de espazos urbanos significativos, a vivenda colectiva en se, en todas as súas variantes e o edificio público ou equipamento como complemento de ambos en concreto e da cidade en xeral.

Learning aims
Learning outcomes Study programme competences
Upon passing this subject, the student must be able to: -Develop projects of medium complexity, in which the compositional, spatial, technical and functional requirements inherent in architectural and urban design are adequately met. -Integrate within the compositional process and architectural proxectación the learning of the subjects of technological and urban profile, with a methodology that allows the practical application of the theoretical contents of all of them in a project of medium complexity. -Use the content of the HOUSING 1 teaching block. Regulations, standards. The neighborhood and urban space, solving housing planning projects that allow a global vision of the circumstances that make up the complex relationships that occur in a PLACE. The change of scale with respect to previous semesters and the breadth of the work to be carried out requires the use of experiences and knowledge acquired in other disciplines, as well as in the daily life of students. Also, other elements of knowledge appear, such as fieldwork and interviews with residents that promote research proposals adapting to the needs of its inhabitants. The workshop work is located in urban transition spaces or villas. Different types of housing are projected that respond to different social groups, family organizations or alternative ways of living. The projects develop at the basic project level and will advance towards the execution project, from initial ideas to more detailed elaboration, including the definition of their materials and their construction and the incorporation, design and dimensioning of structural elements. We work with the rules on habitability, removal of barriers, evacuation criteria, technical code and urban regulations. A34

Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Workshop The projects are developed through the combination of various methodologies and tests: attendance at exhibitions, conferences, analysis of specific problems of the program. The student performs eminently practical tasks in each of the exercises of the course, always with the support and under the supervision of the teaching staff.
Objective test There will be an objective test on the contents presented in the expository sessions, which configure the theoretical and normative framework of the subject. You can also ask for a practical exercise.
Field trip Activities developed in a context external to the academic environment related to the field of study. These activities focus on the development of skills related to direct observation and collection of information, data collection, etc.
Introductory activities In the first classes of the course, the student will be tested and graphic tests that allow knowing the previous level with which the student starts. The tests will be carried out in the classroom. An approach to the semester work will also be proposed.
Directed discussion Both group and individual work will be publicly exposed to encourage group members to intervene in their own and others' creative process, freely, informally and spontaneously.
Diagramming The data obtained in the analyzes, as well as the intentions of the project, will be expressed in simplified graphic form in the first phases of each work. They are the preliminary and preliminary information phases. Synthesis begins.
Workbook They are a set of texts and written documentation that constitute a source of deepening in the contents worked on.
Guest lecture / keynote speech Periodically, conferences or exhibitions will be held, related to the theme in each exercise. Where the rapporteur presents the information orally and / or graphically to the students. These sessions will provide part of the theoretical content of the subject, which will be part of the objective test.
Student portfolio As a result of their work at the end of the semester, the student will have prepared their subject portfolio, accessible through the Moodle teaching platform. This final object, developed throughout the group or workshop sessions, will serve as the basis for the student's personal qualification and curriculum.

Personalized attention

In accordance with the provisions of the memory of the Degree in Architecture, a meeting will be convened by the Workshop Evaluation Board, which will analyze the overall results of the workshop and will decide, where appropriate, on the special situations of student evaluation.

When the subject is not passed at the first opportunity, it will be allowed to complete and modify the works presented in the workshop, as long as the minimum attendance is fulfilled, all the works delivered of all the subjects involved in the workshop and the objective test of the first opportunity made. In order to pass the subject, in this case, the objective test of the second opportunity is compulsory.

Students who do not pass Project 6 in either of the two opportunities must take the workshop the following year. In this case, the students, in addition to Projects 6, will develop the assignments of the subjects that they had not passed in the workshop of the previous year.

Those students who, having passed the subject, did not pass any of the other subjects of the workshop, will have to present, in consecutive calls, again and with the appropriate corrections, the proposed work in the workshop in which they participated.
