35511 ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STUDIO 1

The programmes shall develop basic content based on the epigraph "the Project as a Creative Experience, towards a sustainable world". This first approach is based on the project dynamics of the student throughout the course: Students should know and be part of the educational process of the modules distributed in the different semesters before carrying out the final year dissertation. Students should understand the use and efficiency of the different competences that he/she shall acquire in the different subjects and, therefore, visualise the inclusiveness of the subjects on architectural projects. Throughout the year students shall be introduced to the understanding and exercise of: management/production of architectural knowledge; design of theoretical contexts/methodological design; discovery (rigour of fantasy)/Accuracy (rigour of contents); culture of projects/technique of projects.

35500 GEOMETRY FOR ARCHITECTURE

Representation systems of architecture: Enclosed systems (applications, representation and modification of land). Orthogonal and oblique axonometric system (possible cases and practice). Multi view orthographic projection (geometrical foundations). Conical perspective system (laws of visual perception). Geometry of shadows Geometrical structure and representation of surfaces. Ways to generate surfaces and volumes. Types of simple surfaces (multi-faceted, of generatrix and curved directrix, radiating and ruled). Architectural applications.

The objectives are: to learn how to draw architecture (buildings) in close surroundings within areas that can normally be wide (landscape or a city); to Understand the universality of the basic level of graphic representation on paper (notebook or normal paper) with manual tools (pencil and other manual techniques); to understand drawing as a language (like speaking, reading or writing) or process that includes a way of expression (personal drawing or artistic) and the many ways of interpreting it (once the work has been understood). Theory lessons will involve all ways of understanding drawing (language, presentation, representation); the methods for taking down data and transferring measurements; the standardised representation systems; the change of scale and visualisation (diedric and axonometric); combining chromatic aspects with basic linear aspects. A progressive and guided acquisition of the skill is achieved, based on progressively more elaborate practices with theoretical explanations. Each one of the proposed topics will require previous work by having contact with the object or place in the shape of small sketches, quick notes or any other type of written or graphic expression. The topics will be related to buildings of interest, due to their morphology, history, context or degree of appropriateness in terms of the progression of the student’s ability.

35506 ARCHITECTURE THEORY 1 CO 6

A general introduction to the conceptual complexity of architecture. A series of general concepts will be given based on history, theory, architectural criticism, focusing on the concept of space-time from a current perspective. In this sense, on the basis of the relevance of modern architecture, a global vision is to be provided, based on generic observations such as architecture-architect, urban-rural context, space-for construction-structure, composition-order, from historical, theoretical and critical approaches. The idea is to explain the conceptual complexity of architectural work, thus complementing the introductory approximation from a technological and prospective point of view in the other two introductory subjects that are also developed in the first two semesters of the degree. In this manner, a strategy of cross-curricular relation is established with other aspects that are taught in the first year.

35514 URBAN PLANNING 1 CO 6

The subject is aimed at introducing students to understanding urban reality and current territorial reality, through recognising certain projects in the history of urban planning. This allows students to learn about the different models of city intervention and the most relevant contributions. Procedures of urban form analysis shall be studied, which are related to identifying these reference models as a base to understand what makes up the urban structures today. An approach of the graphical representation of a contemporary city is proposed as an analysis result.

The subject takes an historical approach to the city from ancient times to late 19th century architecture and provides motivation. This trajectory is proposed based on significant examples in which it is contemporaneity possible to recognise fundamental concepts that are current in architectural. The topics include architecture and the city from a historical perspective.

The programme develops basic content based on the epigraph "the architectural project as an instrumental experience... towards the redefinition of professional formats". The proposed topics will suggest approaching the architectural project as partial developments based on selecting and learning how to approach issues that, according to a special complexity, are not approachable from traditional formats: time, emerging cartographies, data visualisation, landscape tools, and new tools. Throughout the year students shall be introduced to: Management of architectural knowledge. Design of theoretical contexts. Discovery (rigour of fantasy). Culture of the project.

An approach to basic concepts is proposed, which has been understood in western culture as "architectural composition", by means of multidisciplinary visions based on modern considerations from the 20th century. The aim is to emphasise the cross-sectional character of the discipline of architectural composition, and the role in generating previously usable expectations in the architectural project by the architect. In order to do so, different issues are addressed throughout the course, such as form-space, structure-order, function-type, light-shadow, reason-rationality, memory-time or nature-artefact among other possibilities.

The subject addresses the methodological and interpretative approach of landscaping, applied to land and urban contexts, so that the tools and procedures are implicitly and explicitly managed and tested in both the professional and academic field related to landscaping. Land and landscapes require a wide range of knowledge of a cross-sectional nature, as well as managing different analyses and works. The aim is for students to understand that the perspective on reality is kaleidoscopic and interpretative. Students will work on this interpretation and on the way of objectifying the seemingly subjective appreciations.

The programme develops basic content based on the epigraph "the architectural project as an instrumental experience... towards the redefinition of professional formats". The proposed topics approach the architectural project as an instrumental development and deals with issues according to a special complexity: time, emerging cartographies, data visualisation, landscape tools, new digital tools, dynamic management of information, ergonomics and sociology as devices, etc. The previous Architectural projects module addresses traditional architectural topics from a personal and permanent redefinition, whereas this module addresses the instrumental development possibilities enabling the building of new imagination through longer practical activities. The activities will be based on building and testing methodologies that enable the implementation of this new instrument to develop comprehensive architectural proposals that value the new paradigms of sustainability and new professional roles. Throughout the year students will be expected to undertake the following: Production of architectural knowledge; the design of practical contexts; Techniques of the Project and accuracy (rigour of contents)

Students will learn about urban and land design. The focus will be on the design aspects of urban transformation and growth, particularly in its territorial aspect, based on a built reality and the complex system of spatial relations. Students will learn intervention strategies in land structures, focusing on the role of social agents that take part and the time factor in building the city or land area.

An approach to basic concepts is proposed, which has been understood in western culture as "architectural composition", by means of multidisciplinary visions based on modern considerations from the 20th century. The aim is to emphasise the cross-sectional character of the discipline of architectural composition, and the role in generating previously usable expectations in the architectural project by the architect. In order to do so, different issues are addressed throughout the course, such as form-space, structure-order, function-type, light-shadow, reason-rationality, memory-time or nature-artefact among other possibilities.

The subject addresses the methodological and interpretative approach of landscaping, applied to land and urban contexts, so that the tools and procedures are implicitly and explicitly managed and tested in both the professional and academic field related to landscaping. Land and landscapes require a wide range of knowledge of a cross-sectional nature, as well as managing different analyses and works. The aim is for students to understand that the perspective on reality is kaleidoscopic and interpretative. Students will work on this interpretation and on the way of objectifying the seemingly subjective appreciations.

The programme develops basic content based on the epigraph "the architectural project as an instrumental experience... towards the redefinition of professional formats". The proposed topics approach the architectural project as an instrumental development and deals with issues according to a special complexity: time, emerging cartographies, data visualisation, landscape tools, new digital tools, dynamic management of information, ergonomics and sociology as devices, etc. The previous Architectural projects module addresses traditional architectural topics from a personal and permanent redefinition, whereas this module addresses the instrumental development possibilities enabling the building of new imagination through longer practical activities. The activities will be based on building and testing methodologies that enable the implementation of this new instrument to develop comprehensive architectural proposals that value the new paradigms of sustainability and new professional roles. Throughout the year students will be expected to undertake the following: Production of architectural knowledge; the design of practical contexts; Techniques of the Project and accuracy (rigour of contents)

Students will learn about urban and land design. The focus will be on the design aspects of urban transformation and growth, particularly in its territorial aspect, based on a built reality and the complex system of spatial relations. Students will learn intervention strategies in land structures, focusing on the role of social agents that take part and the time factor in building the city or land area.

Condition of materials and the structural behaviour. Concrete. Peculiarities that separate it from the general process of structural calculation. Foundations. Structure project with reinforced concrete.

35541 BUILDING SERVICES 3 CO 6 Passive refurbishment, bioclimatic architecture, air conditioning facilities, heating facilities and cooling and heating systems with radiating surfaces.

The programme develops content based on the epigraph "the architectural project as an intelligent experience... towards promoting cultural diversity". The architectural project is a personal and group commitment, and part of the required professional training. Students are expected to present proposals that integrate data and provide information on the project in an innovative manner. This is a multidisciplinary approach, essential to establish new standards and formats for a sustainable architectural action. At the end of the degree, accuracy both in content and format are required. Throughout the year students shall be introduced to the understanding and exercise of: Management of architectural knowledge. Design of theoretical contexts. Discovery (rigour of fantasy). Culture of the project.

The objective is to introduce students to architecture criticism, both as an assessment tool once the work is finished, but as well as a surveying and projection tool. Criticism is made at different levels and varying degrees, always based on the tradition that modern architecture ranges from the 19th to the 21st centuries. It involves leaving isolated objects behind and moving on to contextualisation in different senses: urban-geographic, cultural-artistic, social-economic and semiologic-structuralism. In this manner, students shall build a corpus of theories and critical approaches that shall be used as a support tool to develop architectural projects as current works that can be linked to contemporary ways of thinking.

The objective is to offer students a framework in which their professional career is related to urban planning. On the other hand, they shall study approach methods, assessments, sectorial studies, landscape studies, environmental impact studies, etc. The first approach to developing a professional career is made by developing a project with different possibilities that are offered in order to face land intervention, taking into account the legal limitations.
