Class Architecture IV

It is intended to continue the critical reflection about the urban area under study in the 1st semester, debating its qualities, complexities and specific characteristics that enhance this particular territory.

In this sense, it is proposed that the Project carried out can serve as an experimental ¿field¿ of the particular themes that each student will develop in their dissertations, testing their ideas (even if embryonic), strengthening them.

Architecture IV will continue Architecture III to look at a project program proposed by the student. The scales and materializations and their implementation should show the full and mature mastery of different dimensions of architecture as an activity, which through the project. In this sense, students are faced with a re-interpretation of the work previously developed in order to, jointly with the faculty define a scale of approach in the project dimension. They will be able to develop the design dimension of their dissertations.

Implementing a learning by doing process promoting a closer contact among players external to the academic realm.
