Descriptor according to Study Plan

The architectural project in relation to integration, systems and technology.

Applied technique, reason and intention. Complex programs. Project and execution of works. Management systems and organization of works. Building pathologies. Specialization. The terrain, geotechnics and foundations. Soil consolidation. Normative.

The subject of Projects 8, in the last year of the architecture degree, aims to bring the student closer to the reality of architecture, where the solutions adopted are the answer to certain problems. Responses to people's needs in accordance with the place and integrating technologies and materials to give a precise response to them. Response to contemporary challenges such as energy efficiency, the obsolescence of a large part of the buildings in cities.

An approach to the project according to the same criteria that are requested in a Project at the end of the degree, criteria of rationality, creativity and technical, spatial, formal, utility, economy, sustainability and optimization of resources and opportunities.

All this with an adequate technical development and integration of systems and technology. The solution adopted, in accordance with the criteria or general considerations to which it must respond and consider in its formulation, listed in the previous paragraph, must be sufficiently defined in the documentation submitted, both written and graphic.

OBJETIVES

Influence the existing, and propose the rehabilitation of urban areas as an alternative to the consumption of new land.

Acting on existing realities, rearranging urban spaces, eliminating excess or inserting new intelligent proposals capable of giving new meaning to the area. Possibility of acting on the building itself through transformation or adaptation operations, or through the rearrangement of the existing space.

Understand the use of scales as a project element.

Put into practice urban transformation strategies, based on the ability of architecture to order and qualify urban space.

Delve into the spatial, utilitarian and formal control aspects of free spaces, their possible basic typologies and the role they play as an object and setting for architecture.

Understanding the project as a complex integration process, whose mission is to serve for the materialization of the imagined architecture and which, therefore, must integrate the rest of the knowledge and disciplines that allow it to be made viable.

“A comprehensive understanding of architecture and its learning as processes unequivocally oriented to the construction of the real”.

The documentation to be presented, which will define the adopted solution, will comply with the principles of clarity, rigor, precision, concretion and coherence with the proposal as a whole.

The syllabus is made up of the material that the activity of students and teachers produces throughout the course, and whose assimilation and application by students to their work will allow the teacher to evaluate them.

This approach gives great importance to class participation, personal contribution and sharing reflections, doubts and proposals, in short, creating a collective space for the production of architecture, or in other words, a project workshop.

The content of the subject (The architectural project in relation to integration, systems and technology.), Together with the objective of understanding construction as a tool for planning, will lead to a selection of didactic material, in the form of master classes, expert interventions , visits to certain places and buildings, or critical study of built architectures, etc., which throughout the course will build the theoretical body of the subject. These activities will be carried out in coordination with the evolution of the students' work and may give rise to complementary exercises.

Critical knowledge of architecture provides the architect with a good part of the raw material necessary to project. Architecture can be understood, therefore, as project material. The comparative study of different references, the reflection and study of different alternatives, the discussion and argument about one's own ideas and those of others, the search for a balance between reason and emotion, mark the learning process.

Understanding the relationships between program, form and place, assessing the fit between material reality and visual reality and judging the meaning and consistency of the architectural form analyzed will be of great help in developing one's own ability to face the project and make a judgment. critic of architecture.

The scope of the collective will be the preferred scenario where the course of projects will focus its activity. The analysis of what exists, its transformation and public space and facilities will focus thematic attention.

During the semester (15 weeks) TWO EXERCISES will be developed, which

They must be carried out individually, based on four milestones or levels of definition, with the following percentages in the final grade:

EXERCISE 1: General planning and adaptation of public spaces: 30%

EXERCISE 2: Residential building or residential complex 70%

PRACTICES/DEVELOPMENT MILESTONES:

• Analysis and prior information (practical work to be carried out by groups)
• Progress of ideas (Ideation and definition at the draft level)
• Basic Project (general definition of the conceptual, formal and functional characteristics)
• "Definition" project (definition of the conceptual, formal, functional and technical aspects that allow verifying the feasibility of the proposals. Their possibility of becoming a "built reality".)

It is recommended that each student reflect in the documentation of each phase or milestone or, failing that, have a DRAWING NOTEBOOK in which the development work during the course is captured. This notebook, like a diary or album of images, will collect the research and reflections carried out regarding the exercises: travel photos, drawings, class notes, and everything that has been of personal interest to propose each exercise.

At the beginning of the course, students will be provided with the statement of the subject with the two exercises and the practices/development milestones foreseen. This statement will be uploaded to the PRADO teaching platform.

TEACHING METHODOLOGY

Face-to-face activities (40%)

AF1: Lectures (Theoretical‐expository classes, in large groups). Description: Presentation in the classroom of the fundamental concepts and development of the proposed contents. Explanation of the thematic content to the large group by the teaching staff or invited specialist professionals. Lectures and/or experimental classes will complement teaching by motivating students in their cognitive and critical development of observation of reality and their environment.

AF2: Practical activities (practical classes or work groups). Description: Activities through which it is intended to show students how to act from the application of the knowledge acquired. Several exercises of increasing complexity will be proposed that will be linked to the other activities of the course. With the dynamics of the workshop, the involvement of the student in all the activities is essential, with unavoidable assistance throughout the course, since its philosophy is based on the mutual and continuous encouragement that attendance and participation in the continuous debate of the course entails. development of the work of all its components, as well as the work of the tutor who directs, guides, complements and assesses their content.

The exercises will be of short duration (first milestone) and medium duration (rest of milestones): 1 work or exercises for one week, the next for 4 weeks and the last two for five weeks. The presentations will be public, leaving 3 minutes of exposure for each of the students. This type of method ensures that the classes are active, participatory and the complex training process in the project experience is done through the mentor (other milestones) as well as the participation of the other classmates.

AF3: Seminars Description: Attendance at conferences, seminars, workshops, congresses, talks on topics related to the subject, which provoke debate and reflection in the students.

AF6: Academic tutorials. Description: Periodic individual and/or group meetings between teachers and students to guide, supervise and orient the different academic activities proposed.

Non face-to-face activities (60%)

AF4: Individual non face-to-face activities (Autonomous work and individual study). Description: Carrying out activities aimed at the study and development of work, as well as the search, review and analysis of documents, databases, web pages, etc. All of them related to the subject matter, which in turn

they serve as a support for learning. The workshop will promote the reading and consultation of bibliography, advising and disseminating it with a specific and/or generic nature.

AF5: Non face-to-face group activities (study and group work). Description: Development of teamwork related to work in seminars and workshops.

The method on which the acquisition of the ability to design architecture is traditionally based is practice. This is carried out by programming performances, simulations or fictions. Course after course, project students perform repetitive exercises of varying complexity. The exercises respond to a statement made by the teachers that proposes to solve a specific spatial problem. The long list of circumstances that come into play, the infinity of combinations to be processed and the innate subjective -creative- intention of the one who approaches the solution mean that there is not a single one for the same statement. With the format of work in workshops and through a successive critical dialogue designed, coordinated and directed by the teacher, the proposals of the students are developed, collated and defined through their individual and group work.

• The workshop as a space and physical place for the development of the teaching activity and the learning of the architectural project.
• Presentation and exposition of statements. Critical reflection of objectives proposed with them.
• Theoretical lessons on the matter.
• Presentations and approaches to practical exercises.
• Exhibition and individualized treatment of works.
• Exhibition and collective debate of the student's work.
• Visits to workplaces. Possible study trips related to the teaching theme
• The teaching is completed with master classes and/or experimental classes and with the exchange of ideas with other teaching workshops that work on the subject and other teachings.

Additional information: Training activities

The project is an activity that involves theory and practice in itself. Therefore, it is not possible to separate the theory from the praxis, it is a unique and complete action, with a broad dimension. From the pedagogical point of view, the approaches to the construction of the project are carried out through the development of different activities such as program presentations, information production, critical analysis, orientation sessions and debates, etc. All of them, activities aimed at building the body of the project:

- Presentation of the course program and phases

- Presentation exercises

- Critical analysis (Sessions aimed at graphic and oral analysis of architectural projects. Reflection on concepts related to the course content)

- Recapitulations (Orientation sessions and group discussions on the proposals under development.)

- Critical Sessions (Graphic and oral review of the results of each exercise. Joint debate on it)

- Trips, workshops, seminars, conferences, visits...

Visits to workplaces are essential and constitute an approximation to what is understood by real or imaginary physical territory. The information coming from the recognition of the physical space where it will be intervened and its possibilities is essential for the construction of the project. The realization of the mapping as a broad census of sensitivities of a medium constitutes the basic argument for the reformulation of new programs. The course is completed with other possible visits and cultural trips that help promote the student's training.

The conferences will offer a specialized or complementary look at the topic of work and will be given by specific teachers of the subject or other guests for the occasion.

The distribution of credits is carried out in a non-homogeneous way between these activities, although the average number of credits for each of them is of the order of 15% of the total for the theoretical sessions of the course; 75% for the development of individual and group work, with critical analysis and recapitulations; and the remaining 10% for collective exhibitions in the workshop and critical sessions with the participation of jury.

ACTIVITY PROGRAM

A work process is proposed based on successive approximations that give rise to the corresponding

work milestones. (Duration of the course 15 weeks).

During the first quarter, the phase of analysis, information, supporting theoretical presentations, critical review of the needs program and advancement of ideas will take place. The work in the draft phase will be addressed, from its relationship with the city and the nearby urban fabric, proposing a spatial and architectural organization that responds to the proposed objectives.

From this first phase, the work in the basic project phase will be addressed, proposing a concrete and complete solution regarding the program defined in the statement of the exercise.

In the second half of the course, the development of the proposal up to the project level of

definition.

_Preliminary project phase (Approximate duration five weeks).

_Basic project phase (Approximate duration five weeks).

_Project definition phase (Approximate duration five weeks).

Each of the parts will have a delivery that will lead to public exposure and general critical sessions. Before the presentation of works, the norms for the presentation of the same will be indicated.

The project will be fully defined, without calculations of facilities or structure but taking into account the pre-dimensioning of both and with the constructive development of the most outstanding or singular aspects of the project. In addition to the planned deliveries or milestones, each student will collect, throughout the course in a Notebook, the annotations, drawings, sketches, etc. that you carry out in relation to the subject and that you will deliver at the end of the course.

For the ordinary call, it will be preferable to take this subject through CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT of the student, although, in exceptional cases, a SINGLE FINAL ASSESSMENT is contemplated as long as the student requests it within the deadlines established by said regulations, alleging and accrediting the reasons that assist him. to not be able to follow the continuous evaluation system.

- Continuous assessment

The continuous evaluation system on the work of each student allows for assessing its evolution throughout the course and the maturation of their ideas through a series of exercises directed by the teacher in relation to the contents of the subject. To pass the subject, the student must comply with the delivery schedule and development stages of each exercise proposed in the course statement.

By its very practical nature, the ordinary final exam will consist of the DELIVERY OF THE WORKS CARRIED OUT IN THE WORKSHOP during the course, on the date and place indicated in the official exam calendar approved by the Center Board.

The EVALUATION CRITERIA of the exercises will be carried out according to the following aspects:

• Permanence and participation. Workshop teaching requires the continuous attendance of teachers and students in class. The continuous evaluation, the public exchange of information, the recapitulations of the exercises, and the critical sessions do not make sense without the permanence and constant participation of teachers and students of the workshop. It is intended that students use part of class hours to complete their proposals. Each professor will establish at the beginning of the course the minimum compulsory attendance based on their specific course program.

• Critical attitude. All learning requires a personal disposition towards the knowledge treated. A disposition that, in this case, does not only refer to specific teaching contents but has to do with an attitude towards things and with the effects that this attitude causes in the personality of each one. It is, therefore, to encourage the student to develop a certain critical awareness towards the work they do.

• Interpretation and argumentation. All project activity starts from a program of needs and a base territory, which leads to the need to acquire a critical and personal judgment about the workplace and the conjunctural circumstances in which the architectural project is developed. It is necessary to interpret reality and the program, situate oneself in front of the activity, what is it referring to?, in order to be able to argue about it. Establish a logical sequence between the proposal and the final idea of ​​the project.

• Representation. The academic activity in workshops is a simulation of the constructive activity, the drawing is the first construction of an idea and, therefore, an essential means to express ourselves in architecture. The drawing will have two profiles: the one that tries to establish a universal language that serves as communication with other people; and a more personal profile, with which to check your own ideas. In both, the architect's capacity for expression is equally important. The development of other techniques with which the student can express the arguments of the project or certain developments of it is also considered important.

• In any case, the documentation presented must allow the understanding of the project through a sufficient definition of the geometry and construction of the projected building, valuing clarity, precision, rigor, coherence and specificity.

• Constructive logic. The materials and their various characteristics, the force of gravity, the facilities and the construction systems constitute an inevitable pattern of the project, the logical adaptation to these limitations supposes an essential value in the consideration of each proposal.

• Economy of means. In the physical and intellectual environment, one can speak of "economy of means" as the attitude to eliminate everything that is superfluous or non-essential for the purpose pursued, including in this concept the greater or lesser complexity of each proposal.

• Quality of the project in order to the following aspects:

1. The coherence and general adequacy of the project in its formal, functional and technological aspects with respect to the objectives and intentions stated by the author.

2. The appropriate relationship between the project and its context, understood in its broadest sense: geographic, urban, cultural, social, architectural, technological, etc. The adequate implantation of the architecture in the place in relation to the topography, the climate or the orientation, as well as with the other environmental conditions (urban planning, protection, accessibility, and other techniques).

3. The correct solution of the program of uses.

4. The opportunity, suitability, feasibility, effectiveness and interest of the proposed architecture.

5. Attention to construction techniques and their use as generating material for the project, with criteria of rationality and sustainability.

6. The adequacy in the choice of the systems that make up the projected architecture and the degree of coherence between them: shape, structure, envelope, spatial organization, construction, installations, finishes, etc.

7. Attention to the aesthetic component and the perceptual control of the proposed architectural form and its relationship with its environment.

8. The degree of innovation in the project, in any of its aspects.

Also valuing creativity, architectural culture, technological knowledge, skill and artistic sensitivity visible in the project.

Numerical evaluation

At the end of each exercise presented by the student throughout the course in the different partial deliveries, the teacher will make a critical assessment of their work and notify the student of the provisional grade obtained in each of them.

The final grade for the subject will be obtained on the day of the ordinary exam after the complete presentation and review by the student of all the exercises carried out during the course according to the critical evaluation previously carried out by the professor. This final grade will be the weighted average of the different exercises, although depending on the trajectory followed by the student, their attendance, attitude, and participation in class, the final grade could exceed this weighted average. To pass the subject, the minimum grade of pass 5 must have been obtained.

To pass the subject, it will be an essential requirement that the student has attended at least 80% of the classes and the activities scheduled during the course, as well as having presented all the work on the dates established for the different deliveries during the course.

All students who have not passed the subject in the ordinary call may attend it, regardless of whether or not they have followed the continuous assessment process.

The exam will consist of two tests:

A) A first test consisting of the presentation and oral exposition of all the course work together with the work processes (sketch notebook, drawings, models, perspectives, etc. that explain the projects carried out by the student until reaching the solution final), according to the contents and development established in the statement of the subject (60% of the grade).

B) And a second test consisting of carrying out an exercise with face-to-face development related to the theme of the course during the time established for the exam, which the students will present to the teaching staff that same day at the end of the test (40% of the qualification).

The evaluation criteria of the work carried out in both tests of the exam will be the same as those established for the continuous evaluation (except for the section "Permanence and participation").

The course grade will be the weighted average of the two tests that make up the exam (60% for A) and 40% for B)). In any case, to pass the exam, students must obtain a minimum grade of 5 in the first test, as well as in the exercise with face-to-face development of the second test.

Compliance with UGR Regulations

For everything included and not included in this Teaching Guide regarding Evaluation, Announcements, Qualifications, System, Publications, and Review, it will be interpreted and/or will be as directly established in the Regulations for Evaluation and Qualification of Students of the University of Granada.

Visits to workplaces are essential and constitute an approximation to what is understood by real or imaginary physical territory. The information coming from the recognition of the physical space where it will be intervened and its possibilities, is essential for the construction of the project. The realization of the mapping as a broad census of sensitivities of a medium constitutes the basic argument for the reformulation of new programs. The course is completed with other visits and cultural trips that help to promote the student's training.

The conferences will offer a specialized or complementary look at the topic of work and will be given by specific teachers of the subject and other guests for the occasion.

The distribution of credits is carried out in a non-homogeneous way between these activities, although the average number of credits for each of them is of the order of 20% of the total for the theoretical sessions of the course; 80% for the development of individualized and group work, with critical analysis and recapitulations; and the remaining 10% for collective exhibitions in the workshop and critical sessions with the participation of a jury.

Following the recommendations of the CRUE and the Secretariat of Inclusion and Diversity of the UGR, the systems of acquisition and evaluation of competences included in this teaching guide will be applied in accordance with the principle of design for all people, facilitating learning and demonstration of knowledge.
