General description O curso céntrase na paisaxe resultante das intervencións humanas dentro do seu hábitat. O concepto de paisaxe implica a existencia dunha experiencia cultural, a paisaxe debe ser interpretada ou experimentada. Só a través do coñecemento das relacións que se establecen entre a paisaxe e a experiencia, así como as dos axentes causantes destas relacións, será posible comprender a paisaxe existente e a súa renovación creativa.
Campos Venuti definiu o hábitat como "todo o sistema, complexo e extenso, que na sociedade se atopa por riba e por debaixo do simple aloxamento (...). O modelo de hábitat debe englobar no seu conxunto todas aquelas estruturas ambientais, artificiais e naturais, que nas cidades e no campo acollen o desenvolvemento da vida en común e determinan os seus caracteres ”(Campos Venuti, 1981: 177).
O curso trata de introducir ao alumno no coñecemento dos elementos que compoñen a paisaxe e as relacións que se establecen entre eles. O obxectivo é proporcionar aos estudantes as ferramentas necesarias para integrar criterios paisaxísticos e ambientais sostibles nos seus proxectos de arquitectura e planificación urbana, así como colaborar eficazmente en equipos multidisciplinares nos procesos de transformación do hábitat, entendido como o espazo no que se desenvolven os seres humanos., vidas, obras e das que extrae recursos.

Methodologies Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech Each week, a topic will be introduced by the lecturers. The student will have to supplement this presentation with the reading of recommended bibliography extracts. Attendance to lectures is mandatory, with a maximum of 20% of unexcused absences admitted. Sessions will be strictly timely. The use of mobile devices (such as computers, tablets or phones) will not be allowed during the course of the class
Document analysis An important part of coursework consists in selecting the relevant information and data. Therefore, the student should be familiar with the instruments of the discipline.
Collaborative learning Collaborative learning aims to facilitate the visualization of the demands of the local community, in an inclusive and participatory way, in terms of the development of a landscape regeneration proposal.
Events academic / information Preparation of material summarize the coursework for the end of year exhibition organized by the Department of Architectural Projects, Urban Planning and Composition: "Architectures in Course. DPAUC" (panels, models, drawings, videos, texts, performances , etc.).

Attendance at dissemination events (congresses, seminars, symposiums, etc.), organized by ETSAC, or DPAUC, etc., indicated by tutors as part of the teaching content of the course, with the objective of providing students with knowledge and current experiences related to a particular field of study.
Introductory activities The first two weeks of class will consist of the presentation of the contents, the development of the topic and the kick off team coursework

Assessment comments

In the general evaluation of the course, the following aspects will be valued: attendance and participation in class and workshops and activities

- Class attendance: minimum 80% of expositive sessions and 80% of interactive sessions. In addition, the teaching staff will assess whether attendance is active by participating in the expository sessions (answering questions), in team or individual corrections. Active participation may be valued as an increase in the final grade.

The grade of the first opportunity will be "Not Presented" if you have not delivered any of the mandatory items. However, active participation in class, during the school period, that demonstrate adequate knowledge of the contents of the subject may be valued by the teaching staff.

For students with recognition of part-time dedication according to the "Norm that regulates the regime of dedication to the study of undergraduate students at the UDC" the minimum class attendance will be 50%, both in the interactive sessions and in the expository ones . The rest of the evaluation elements will be the same as in the general case. In relation to the final test, what is described in article 12 of the "Rules of Evaluation, Review and Complaint of the Qualifications of the Degree Studies and University Master of the UDC" (consolidated version 2017) will be followed.

Academic waiver: it is not contemplated, as it is a subject in which the workshop is the fundamental methodology.

The detection of plagiarism, as well as the fraudulent performance of tests or evaluation activities, once verified, will directly imply the grade of failing "0" in the subject in the corresponding call, thus invalidating any grade obtained in all evaluation activities. ahead of the extraordinary call.

Second opportunity:

In order to pass the subject on a second opportunity, it is necessary to repeat the evaluable items in which the pass was not achieved.

The tutored works would be re-elaborated, corrected or completed according to the indications of the tutors of the matter. For this, it is recommended that the teams make use of academic tutorials with their corresponding tutors during the second semester. The works will be delivered, at most, up to a week before the second chance exam.

Students who have not met the minimum attendance during the school period will not be eligible for a positive evaluation.

For everything else, the evaluation criteria for the second chance will be the same as for the first
