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.
