    Syllabus

    The topics to be developed relate to the understanding, from the point of view of form, function, construction and program of iconic buildings that served and serve as reference for the construction of an architectonic repertoire that every architect should possess.

    For this purpose a reference shall be made to the context, the program and the environment in which the architectural work is placed, as well as to their physical characteristics - mass, structure, surface and materials - as well as the spatial dimension, scale, light and movement and also to issues related to constructive aspects, namely manufacturing and pre-fabrication. Pre-existences will also be referred, as well as the relationship with the environment where these works are situated, whether urban or otherwise.
