| Guest lecture / keynote speech |
Lectures aim to provide to the student the knowledge of several ENVELOPES SYSTEMS IN ARCHITECTURE. The standards requirements in order to choose the appropriate system (performance) will be explained, and each system will be analysed in order to know how to prescribe every solution, its repair and maintenance, as well as estimate its cost, always in accordance with the architectural project.
Reference documentation and several examples of buildings will be provided to learn from the mistakes and the decisions took. An intelligent knowledge is sought instead of rote learning.
The student must pass an objective test and several multiple-choice questions. |
| Workshop |
The workshop is a workspace where students develop their architectural projects, applying the skills learnt during lectures. They will learn the relationship between the compositional processes of architecture and its construction. Several subjects merge around the idea of architecture, ensuring optimization of teaching resources and streamlining the student's work. The workshop aims to establish mechanisms for coordination and mainstreaming across studies, avoiding duplication and repetition in the content to facilitate an effective transit between semesters. Different mandatory projects will be developed. |
| Objective test |
The objective tests seek to verify the application of knowledge and the skills acquired by students. Students may use documentary support (books, own notes based on a practical case, etc.). It will be assessed as a whole, not each question. |
| Supervised projects |
Methodology designed to promote the autonomous learning, under the supervision of the teacher and in varied scenarios (academic and professional). It is referred primarily to learning how to do things. It is an option based on the assumption by students of the responsibility of their own learning.
Supervised work (mandatory): students, in group (up to 3 students) or individually, will present a work where they will develop a topic assigned by the professors. Students will search bibliography, contents, comments, studies and examples. The work will be showed and upload to the learning platform UDC Moodle, in PDF format.
Model (voluntary): students, in group (up to 3 students) or individually, will build a model (scale 1:1 or 1:2) based on a construction detail of the building developed in the workshop project. |
