The basic intentions that support the development of the subject are to delve into the medium-high level architecture project, using the experiences and knowledge acquired also in other disciplines. It is also about promoting the understanding that the project is part of a complex process that the student has to analyze and develop, synthesizing previous stages of learning together with a personal process of continuous research.
The course studies the problems posed by intervention in the city, both in its consolidated and peripheral areas, with coherent and free projects, penetrating the authentic lesson that knowledge of the past and the needs of the present-future provides us, to revitalize the urban structure, understanding urban built space as the place where social relationships, coexistence and human habitation develop.
The course has a unitary entity that focuses on the study of the place, with the basic objective of elaborating and developing the theme of collective housing, the raison d'être of the construction of the city. For this, the analysis and resolution of significant urban spaces are contemplated, the collective housing itself, in all its variants, and the public building or equipment as a complement to both specifically and to the city in general.
