| 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 can be developed (workshop and/or specific work of the subject). If the weight of the work related to the specific exercise of the subject is high, the workshop work will be reduced proportionally.
Those students who, in addition to develop the mandatory tasks (C6), wish to participate, voluntarily, in the competitions that the teachers suggest, will obtain a point that will be added to the qualification of the objective test –theory exam–, as long as they get the minimum mark. The members of the winning team will get 2 points. IMPORTANT: In order to obtain these points, the students will have to submit the minimum documentation required in the competition rules and have been supervised by one of the teachers of the subject. |
| Multiple-choice questions |
Students must complete four mandatory testing about different topics in order to promote learning and continuous assessment. These tests are carried out within the learning platform UDC Moodle. |
| Supervised projects |
The students (in group, up to three students, or individually), voluntarily, will carry out different supervised projects, specified at the beginning of the semester.
Note. The hours assigned to supervised projects, indicated in the planning of the subject, may be compensated with those assigned to the workshop. |
| Events academic / information |
Activities carried out by the students that imply compulsory attendance and/or participation in academic, scientific and/or informative events (congresses, conferences, symposiums, courses, seminars, conferences, exhibitions, etc.) with the aim of deepening their knowledge of topics of study related to the subject. |
