Class Architecture Project VI

Projeto de Arquitetura VI is the curricular unit that places the student designing collective housing in dialogue with the historical context, relating the ideal with reality, in order to create conditions for an attentive, conscious, and sensitive creativity.

Not applicable

The contents to be developed throughout the semester follow different aspects: - In the first phase, the student will confront the place, understand its qualities, and proceed to the representation of reality through drawings (scale 1:200 and 1:100) and a physical model (scale 1:100) . - In a second phase, the student will test the footprint and volume hypotheses, relating them to the public road, neighboring land, and the public spaces to be created, and also representing them on the scales mentioned above. - In a third and penultimate phase, the student will propose his conception of collective housing, articulating the typologies with the layout, volume, and previously developed public space, as well as with the interior common areas. - Finally, the student will develop the project until a phase that seeks to be equivalent to that of a Licensing (Planning Application), where the space, the structure, the materiality, and the grammar of façades are consolidated.

The teaching methodology will include: Theoretical classes with the presentation of contents to support the development of design exercises, particularly with regard to architectural culture, collective housing themes, and the complexities of intervening in a historical context. Lectures with guest architects familiar with the subject of the course. Theoretical-practical classes in a continuous assessment system, receiving guidance from the teachers during the design process, as well as in the intermediate presentations. Visits to works of architecture. Assessment Criteria: 20% First Phase 20% Second Phase 20% Third Phase 40% Fourth Phase (Final Project)
