Objectives
Objectives
The strategic objective aims to promote the completion of the Work Plan, expressed in an intelligible and structured way, as a coherent and consistent basis for the preparation of an original master's thesis, to be completed with academic success. Complementary objectives: 1. Develop autonomy skills for the organization of knowledge. 2. Develop the ability to distinguish not only the fundamental domains of architecture - practice, criticism, theory, history - as well as the articulations and interrelationships that are established between them. 3. Consolidation of methods and processes of research and investigation in Architecture. 4. Consolidation of competences related to written summaries. 5. Consolidation of oral expression skills and defense of own research work. 6. Consolidation of data, information and documentation systematization skills. 7. Develop skills to choose an original and relevant topic.
