Methodologies Description
Introductory activities The heart of the activities that the students will develop will be a practical work, of critical analysis of subjects of educational interest referred to the Habitat, its strategies, processes and other circumstances, in some particular field. We understand that the election of this field makes part of the "Supervised project" and in this case is an activity of extreme importance as the result of the investigation that realise each student depends in good way of a very founded election of the field of study and of the establishment of the suitable hypotheses of work for that.
It is thus that this activity has to be punctilious, requiring a big personal obstinacy of the student out of the classrooms.
Workbook Readings are part of the materials on which analysis will be built. So students will have to locate written sources, thus we expect a wide dedication to hemerographic research.
In addition to this, as matter of the novelty of the subjects tackled in this subject and its social impact, we will have to attend to live bibliographic sources, no necessarily related to architecture world but to build the necessary theoretical backgrounds.
Guest lecture / keynote speech Professors will present the contents that suit the theoretical body of the matter.
Previously the students will be able to have been required to realise some readings about subject issues.
In the same way, after the development of the keynote speech, students can be required to talk about the subjects focus.
Field trip A trip –walking or biking- will be done through urban areas were morphological issues are connected with academic contents, as they are representative of all the formal and informal processes of habitat construction of the habitat. Along the track, there will take place some collective critical discussions, following trigger lessons.
This route will realise in some next surroundings to the School of Architecture, which the students believe to know.
Collaborative learning The habitat construction is a matter of collaborative activity. Cooperation is the usual work strategy in this field. And inclusivity is goal to be achieved.
As Academia can`t be estrange to this, collaborative learning must be a common methodology.
Supervised projects The aim of the subject is to train the student in the analysis for the intervention, studying information resources of information and a deep fieldwork.
All this runs under the name of “Work Tutelado”. This is a project, that will have to be run over the classes period in accordance with a scientific methodology as theoretical lectures happen.
A final document where all his contents expressed with advanced communicative strategies advanced will be produced.
