Methodologies Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech Presentation in the classroom of the corresponding item of the
program. At the beginning of the session, the index and summary of the topic will be displayed. The explanation will be supported with the necessary images and with the relevant synopic diagrams and tables. At the end of the session, a summary underlining the most important aspects will be made and further reading will be recommended.
Students will collect comments, notes, references, computer links, web pages, complementary bibliography, catalogs, books, brochures, guides, etc ... nun Caderno of personalized diary, related to each theme gives construction exposto during each oneha das sessions teaching.
You will be prepared by preparing an ordered summary document with these references.
Workbook The students will read -throughout the course- the books, articles and documentation that the teachers indicate to them; in order to record their compliance, they shall submit in a timely manner the appropriate summaries of these readings.
Student portfolio The students will collect on the basis of the Methodologies included in the asignatura (master sessions, readings, study of cases and works tutelados) in a Portafolio_CUADERNO_diario personalized comments, notes, references, computer links, web pages, complementary bibliography, catalogues, books, brochures, guides, etc. related to
each construction topic exposed during each of the teaching sessions. The students will have to elaborate a document summary ordered with said references that has to present to previous evaluation obligatorily before the Objective Test of the asignatura.
Objective test It will consist of a written exam on the theoretical contents of the subject. This test will include a practical question that will refer to the analysis and constructive development of the building proposed as a course practice.
Case study Studies of real architectures built through a program of work visits will be carried out where to know, measure, analyze, investigate and even know direct explanations of the authors of Architectures of recognized quality and purposeful intensity.
The students will carry out a constructive architectural study with individual drawings of the generality of each building detailing material elements and more significant construction systems.
The realization and delivery of these analyses is mandatory and of prior and joint evaluation with objective test and supervised works.
Supervised projects The Practices of the asignatura will be realized in AULA and in shared
WORKSHOP. The CLASSROOM PRACTICES correspond exclusively to the subject: Construction 4; the WORKSHOP PRACTICES will partially share the teaching with the teachers belonging to the areas of knowledge that are integrated into the shared workshop of the corresponding course and semester. The teaching hours, total, of the Classroom Practices will be: 45. The teaching hours, total, of the Workshop Practices will be: 15.

CLASSROOM PRACTICE:
The CLASSROOM PRACTICE will consist of the realization of a work to be developed during the course. The delivery and realization of the practice will be individual. The practice will consist of the constructive analysis of a building with concrete structure. The building is selected at the beginning of the course among works by architects of recognized prestige. The necessary biography will be provided and will remain reserved in the library for consultation of the students. In addition, the documentation available in computer support will be deposited in the Computer Room of the ETSAC. There will be two deliveries and also a final, summary of the works carried out throughout the course and that collects the corrections indicated by each teacher.

First installment. The first part of the work consists of the graphical analysis of the architecture of the proposed building. The plants, raised, a longitudinal vertical section and a transverse section will be drawn at a relevant scale. The plants will be bounded and the roofing plant will necessarily be included. The detailed and limited floors of thestructure of the building will also be delivered to a scale of 1/50, suitably labeled and with the specification of each structural element. The constructive details of the structure that each teacher deems relevant will also be presented. The maximum extent of a spread in A1 format.
This delivery will also be made by computer means on the Moodle platform, in accordance with the characteristics indicated in said application.

Second installment. It will consist of a rigid panel format A1, printed on both sides containing a vertical section of the building determined by each teacher for each student - as well as a horizontal section by a corner and a façade gap, at a scale 1/10 or 1/5. Each of the building elements and their parts shall be named and specified in detail in the relevant characteristic tables. The panel must also include the most relevant of the previous delivery.
This delivery will also be made by computer means on the Moodle platform, in accordance with the characteristics indicated in said application.

Final delivery. The final delivery will consist of a rigid panel with A1 format that includes the corrections made by the teacher, printed on both sides that contains a vertical section of the building – determined by each teacher for each student – as well as a horizontal section by a corner and a façade gap, at a scale 1/10 or 1/5. Each of the building elements and their parts shall be named and specified in detail in the relevant characteristic tables. The panel must also include the most relevant of the previous deliveries with the appropriate corrections.
This delivery will also be made by computer means on the Moodle platform, in accordance with the characteristics indicated in said application.

PRACTICE WORKSHOP:
The shared Workshop Practice will consist of the study of the theme of architectural research agreed with the subjects included in the quarterly workshop (Projects + Urbanism + Construction + Structures) elaborating the pertinent constructive proposal of analysis and definition of architecture, its materialization and reasoned proposal of general constructive system.
The delivery dates as well as the documentation to be presented will be governed by the agreed / coordinated conditions between the subjects of the Workshop. For the area of Architectural Constructions, the delivery will consist of two sheets A1, delivered folded in size A4, in which it is collected: elevations, plants and sections of the project; plants and sections of the structure; floor plans+elevations+sections of finished materials; and constructive proposal of architectural systems and more relevant details of the study and possible architecture projected by the student.
This delivery will also be made by computer means on the Moodle platform, in accordance with the characteristics indicated in said application.
