- Drawing skills are a fundamental tool for this subject, so it requires special attention in order to acquire the appropriate level. This is the reason why we strongly recommend taking both Architectural Drawing and Descriptive Geometry simultaneously. 

- Knowledge of modern theories about the Arts, Philosophy, and Science are considered to be highly useful, as they were essential for the avant-garde architecture from the twentieth-century. Interest in the Arts, including cinema and music, will be helpful as well. 

- Required aptitudes are intellectual curiosity, talent for observation, abstract spatial awareness and sensitivity.

- Manual dexterity to build scale models is needed, being able to work with common materials to express different architectural intentions (heaviness/lightness, transparency/opacity, mass/emptyness, contrast…) is also fundamental.
