Strengthen the progressive understanding of the city through the project, exploring the interferences between urban fragments with contradictory rules and the capacity of the urban project to regenerate the built environment.
Training the capacity to develop a synthesis project, which will evolve from the urban scale to the detail of execution.
Understanding housing as a complex phenomenon, encompassing individual, common and public dimensions.
Assimilation of specific design principles and methods of an apartment and a residential building, including understanding of functional and technical conditions, as well as attention to detail and material.
Systematic and in-depth understanding of technical principles and solutions to ensure overall sustainability and energy savings.
Themes 3 (III) and 4 (IV) / Housing and urban density. From the point of view of the situation in relation to the city, the projects involve an area marked by the juxtaposition (tense) of urban fragments of different character, belonging to distinct ages of the city. The proposed ensemble will mediate between these urban fragments. The major function required by the theme (collective housing) leaves open the integration of other functions (public or housing-related) increasing the functional complexity and spatial composition. The first cycle of studies ends with a synthesis project through which the student must demonstrate the ability to integrate multiple parameters: technical, social, environmental and urban. Benefiting from guidance in a multidisciplinary team, the student architect exercises skills related to the coordination of several specialties as project manager.
Individual critique, collective critique, theoretical lectures, site visits, case studies.
Documentation and research notebook, individual defense of the project within the studio, grading by jury board
