Class History of Architecture and the Arts I

The subject of History of Architecture and the Arts I features the principles that are implicitly or explicitly present in the disciplinary exercise, discusses the theoretical and critical knowledge that underlies architecture and analyzes the modern conditions of its disciplinary practice.
It also displays aspects directly related to the history and criticism of architecture and the arts, as

well the design process, in such as way that, it calls on the one hand, an understanding of the historical conditions underlying the practice and, on the other hand, suggests an operative dimension, even before being investigated.

The themes to be developed are the following:
1. The Meaning of the Theory of Architecture in the disciplinary context of Architecture 2. The Evolution of the Theory of Architecture during Classicism
3. The De Re aedificatoria by L. B. Alberti
4. The Language and Meaning in Architecture: lives and works; courses and projects

The subject of History of Architecture and the Arts II presents lessons of both theoretical and practical nature. The lectures are essentially expository, seeking to fulfill the contents in the syllabus. For these classes are used teaching resources available at the ULHT suited for the dynamic, sequential and structured presentation of images. The practical classes are undertaken in the form of Discussion Groups on the topics covered in the lectures, or of follow-up of the work for the making of the monograph. The Discussion Groups are intended to relate, in a thoughtful way, disciplinary content, the systematization or originality of the proposed work and the relevance of the topics covered. The evaluation consists in the elaboration of a synthesis work and a research work, each item with a weight of 50% in the final result.
