Objectives

To develop competence to solve problems of design and organization of urban space, attending society demands within the professional competence of urbanists. Students should be able to connect an understanding of issues in question and to deepen knowledge on the specific urban resources available at the urban design and spatial composition field.

Learning outcomes should be:

- Adequate use of terminology and language-specific of the field and CU;

- Ability for research on the themes covered;

- Knowledge and skill to solve specific issues of urban design in new situations; - Design skills to solve urban and compositional spatial problems.

Teaching methodologies and assessment

The CU is structured in a format of design studio/seminar where the teacher presents the concepts and tools to enable students to solve urban design and compositional problems.

Students are individually evaluated by the quality, creativity and historical and technical adequacy of the presented design solutions. The students should attend the seminars where they are continuously evaluated, and develop the fieldwork that allows the required data collection.

The work is transversal to different curricular units to allow the global understanding of relations and importance of each area to urbanism.
