Class Construction 3.2

With regard to the incidence of learning in projectual practice one will seek bringing to evidence two complementary aspects whose apparent contradiction only the disciplined exercise of the Project will be able to clarify: a) Setting reasonable limits in preparing the Project. b) Construction as a stimulus for formal creation. The student will develop the ability to integrate operatively in practical work knowledge and information gathered in the discipline of Construction, assuming the development of the Project as a comprehensive process.

Not applicable

Theoretical classes: The lectures will be based on developing an autonomous program, though sequentially structured to make it operative in conjunction with the practice of the project. 1 - System, constructive logic and modulation (continuation) 2 - Light and heavy pre-manufacturing - the persistence of craftsmanship of drawing 3 - Structural design as inseparable from the formal design 4 - Gathering and systematization of technical information to support the project Practical classes: Practical classes will focus on identifying and addressing issues within the discipline, taking as a support the work to be developed in the Project area. Criticism will tend to be based on a reading of the solutions able to lead to the generalization of the problems, while trying to remain attentive to the architectural specificity of each proposal.

We propose a teaching method with continuous evaluation, without final exam. We propose a teaching method that assumes the Architecture as an attitude of synthesis, naturally based on a systematization of information that, trying to privilege the understanding of the phenomena, will stimulate the further development of the project idea, passing inevitably, for the understanding of the articulation with the practice of the Project as a privileged field of gauging pedagogic results. In parallel we predict the possibility, at an early stage, of development of practical work group that may take the form of constructively detailed small projects. In addition the following actions will be undertaken: 1 - Direct contact with works 2 - Actions of information with collaboration of construction companies. The integration of innovative methodologies to support the teaching-learning process will be considered, in line with the Project 3.2 and Structures 1.2 Demonstração da
