| General description |
The subject Physics for Architecture 2 provides an introduction to physical phenomena relevant to architectural design and how they are included in current regulations.
The behavior of fluids is studied, both moving and at rest, as well as heat transfer focused to building envelopes. It also includes contents of applied acoustics, electricity and, finally, theory of light and color.
The subject Physics for Architecture 2 provides an introduction to physical phenomena relevant to architectural design and how they are included in the current mandatory regulations.
This is, therefore, a course of physics applied to architecture which includes an approach to hydrostatic contents - that will allow the students, for example, to determine hydrostatic thrusts on walls or slabs-; hydrodynamics - focusing especially on the behavior of fluids inside ducts; concepts of thermodynamics and hygrometry focused on the study of the envelopes of buildings and the thermal conditioning of architectural spaces; acoustics applied to the insulation and conditioning of premises; besides contents about electricity and theory of light and color. Whenever possible, the concepts explained apply to real architectural situations, underscoring the relationship between physics and architecture. |

1. Modifications to contents
The contents of the subject are not modified
2. Methodologies
Two scenarios are contemplated:
- Scenario 1 (students with face-to-face teaching and students with non-face-to-face teaching, simultaneously): In the event that the capacity of classrooms, due to the conditions demanded by higher authorities, makes it impossible to follow the face-to-face classes by all students, or in the case of one-off confinement of any student, technological means provided by the centre will be implemented to enable that face-to-face classes given by the teaching staff of the subject can be followed in a non-face-to-face mode by the rest of the students.
- Scenario 2 (all students with non-face-to-face teaching): In the case of confinement of a complete group, due to an outbreak, the entire group will be transferred to teaching in a non-face-to-face mode until this situation is resolved and can be returned to the face-to-face mode. In this case, all teaching becomes on-line.
*Teaching methodologies that are mantained
- Scenario 1 (students with face-to-face teaching and students with non-face-to-face teaching, simultaneously): All teaching methodologies are maintained. Students will follow the session on-site and whoever is at home will follow it on-line, through the platform that the UDC enables for this purpose (Teams or similar). In order to make sessions more dynamic, teachers can state a previous reading. Mixed tests at class will be carried out on-site during the interactive sessions and, if this is not possible, they will be carried out on-line.
- Scenario 2 (all students with non-face-to-face teaching): Both the expository and interactive teaching will be carried out on-line. All methodologies are maintained. The expositive sessions will be held on-line, through the platform that the UDC enables for this purpose (Teams or similar). In order to make the on-line sessions more dynamic, teachers can state a previous reading. Interactive sessions will be held on-line (Teams or similar). In this case, they can consist of the explanation of exercises by the teacher, correction and solving doubts on exercises that the teacher has previously provided to students for solving at home, or solving exercises in a collaborative way between teacher and students. Mixed tests at class will be held on-line. Submission of dossiers with exercises will be made via Moodle.
*Teaching methodologies that are modified
Methodologies are not modified
3. Mechanisms for personalized attention to students
Presence-based tutoring will be maintained if possible. In any case, the following personalized attention channels are contemplated:
-Teams, channel: a specific channel for queries will be opened on Teams. This channel will be permanently open and questions will be answered as soon as possible.
-E-mail: students will have the possibility to ask questions also through the teachers' e-mail. However, the Teams channel will preferably be used so that topics can be available to all students.
-Teams, virtual session: in case of questions that present difficulties for their solving in writing, or require direct interaction, a virtual session will be held with the student.
4. Modifications in the evaluation.
-Scenario 1 (students with face-to-face teaching and students with non-face-to-face teaching, simultaneously): The assessment disaggregation indicated in the teaching guide is maintained. Mixed tests held at class will be carried out during the interactive face-to-face sessions. Submission of dossiers with exercises will be made via Moodle. The final objective test will be carried out on-site as long as it is authorized by the competent body. In the event that it is not possible to carry out the objective test on-site, it will be carried out on-line synchronously.
-Scenario 2 (all students with non-face-to-face teaching): The assessment disaggregation indicated in the teaching guide is maintained. Mixed tests at class will be held on-line. Submission of dossiers with exercises will be made via Moodle. The final objective test will be carried out on-site as long as it is authorized by the competent body. In the event that it is not possible to carry out the objective test on-site, it will be carried out on-line synchronously.
* Observations to evaluation
In the event that any student has difficulties with computer equipment or Internet connection to access the software tools provided by the UDC (Teams, Moodle, etc.), for handling both in lessons and in a hypothetical on-line test, they must communicate this circumstance to the teaching staff as soon as possible, in order to find a solution.
5. Modifications to the bibliography or webgraphy
The bibliography indicated in the teaching guide is not modified. If new basic documentation is considered during the period of confinement, it will be made available to students through Moodle.
