Objectives (Expressed as expected learning outcomes)
What is a project?
The identification of the place, in its broadest sense (cultural, material, historical), the study and proposal of the requirements of the programme of uses understood in its broadest sense, as an instrument of the project itself, the search for an ideal spatial and visual structure and the choice of the appropriate construction system, constitute the basic components of a process of synthesis in continuous adjustment that is called architectural project and that must culminate in a proposal for an ordered habitable space, in a context with which it is related, and endowed with a consistent formal structure.
Objectives: The course aims to achieve several objectives: one of a general nature and common to all Architectural Design subjects in the second cycle: to increase and improve the student's knowledge, capacity for reflection and design skills. Another of a specific nature: to develop the learning of the project as a contemporary contribution to the process of evolution and permanent change that occurs in every inhabited place. And a third consists of approaching the materiality of architecture from the outset, understanding construction (structure, materials, installations, etc.) as a tool for designing.
To achieve this, it is necessary to activate all the attentions that the architectural project arouses, reflection on the place and history as the basic material of the project, the activity of designing as an intellectually and culturally committed taking of a position, attention to materiality, the evaluation of all decisions in terms of sustainable criteria and awareness of all their environmental implications.
Working on a complex programme, typical of buildings for public use, involving different types of spaces with very different geometric, functional and environmental characteristics will help to overcome a threshold of skill in the work of designing and a leap of scale in the themes and attentions to be contemplated. The topography of the place and the relationships it fosters, and learning how to manipulate it, is configured as one of the basic attentions of the work. The transcendence of the relationship between architecture and public space will be a decisive reflection. The commitment to the material dimension of architecture is an unavoidable objective at this level, paying adequate attention to the construction, the structure, and the spaces occupied by the building's installations and conditioning systems. In this sense, it is understood that this attention to materiality, an essential component of the physical configuration of the planned space, must be present from the outset of the work.

Detailed syllabus
Theory
THEORETICAL
General scope:
The project as interpretation/transformation of reality.
Architectural projects and architectural practice.
Knowledge, information, memory and invention.
The materials of architecture and their integration through the project.
Place as structure: territory, type and morphology; landscapes.
Place and heritage.
Subject and culture.
Fundamentals of habitation and material culture.
Modification, transformation. Permanence and discontinuities.
Materiality, technique and architectural project.
Sustainable use of the environment and heritage.
Urban projects, landscape projects.
The architectural project as an integrator of the disciplines that concur in architecture.
The construction process of the project.
The syllabus is made up of the material produced throughout the course by the activity of students and teachers, the assimilation and application of which by the students in their work will allow the teacher to evaluate it. On the first day of class, the lecturers will provide the statement, the keys and the objectives of each exercise, always within the aforementioned heading:
Territory and landscape.
This approach will give great importance to participation in class, to personal contribution and to sharing reflections, doubts and proposals; in short, to creating a collective space for the production of architecture or, in other words, a project workshop.
The content of the subject, Landscape, time, transformation and heritage, together with the objective of understanding construction as a tool for designing, will give rise to a selection of didactic material in the form of theoretical classes, interventions by experts, visits to specific places and buildings, critical study of built architecture, etc., which throughout the course will build up the theoretical body of the subjects. These activities will be carried out in coordination with the evolution of the students' work and will give rise to complementary exercises.
Critical knowledge of architecture provides the architect with a large part of the raw material necessary to design. Architecture can therefore be understood as project material. The comparative study of different references, the reflection and study of different alternatives, the discussion and argumentation of 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 programme, form and place, assessing the fit between the material reality and the visual reality and judging the meaning and consistency of the architectural form analysed,
will be of great help in developing their own capacity to confront the project and a critical judgement with which to evaluate architecture.
The collective sphere will be the preferred scenario on which the projects course will focus its activity.
Practice
PRACTICAL
At the beginning of the course, students will be provided with the syllabus of the subject with the specific statement for that course, as well as the exercises to be developed and the delivery dates. This statement, together with the basic documentation, will be uploaded to the PRADO teaching platform.
During the four-month period, students will work on a single project divided into 3 complementary and diversified exercises or phases, which will have a percentage in the final grade:
1. Approach to the place. Research, ideas and previous approaches (25%).
2. Intervention project (60%)
3. Constructive development and materiality (15%)
Each delivery will be assessed independently and all of them, depending on the evolution of the work, may modify their grade in the ordinary exam. The ordinary exam will consist of the delivery of the whole work, differentiating these three deliveries.
For students taking the continuous assessment system of the subject, class attendance and the delivery of each of the phases of work are compulsory.
The deliveries will be made simultaneously in two formats: a. Digital on the PRADO platform or on GOOGLE DRIVE (as established in each group).
b. Printed on paper

Assessment methods (Instruments, criteria and percentages)
Ordinary assessment session
The traditional method of acquiring the ability to design architecture is based on practice. This is done by programming performances, simulations or fictions. Year after year, design students carry out repeated exercises of varying complexity. The exercises respond to a statement given by the teachers, which proposes to respond to a specific situation or to solve a specific spatial problem. The long list of circumstances that come into play, the infinite number of combinations to be processed and the connatural subjective - creative - intention of the person tackling the solution mean that there is no single solution for the same statement. In the format of workshop work and through a successive critical dialogue designed, coordinated and directed by the teacher, the students' proposals are developed, compared and defined through their individual and group work.
The workshop as a space and physical place for the development of the teaching activity and learning of the
learning of the architectural project.
Presentation and exposition of statements. Critical reflection on the objectives proposed with
the same.
Theoretical lessons on the subject.
Presentations and practical exercises.
Presentation and individualised treatment of work.
Exhibition and collective debate of the student's work.
Visits to work sites. Study trips related to the teaching subject.
The teaching is completed with classes or lectures given by guest lecturers and with the
exchange of ideas with other teaching workshops working on the subject and with other
teaching.
Ordinary examination
For the ordinary examination it will be preferable to take this subject by means of continuous student
continuous assessment of the student.
Continuous assessment
The system of continuous assessment of each student's work allows the evolution of the student throughout the course and the maturity of their ideas to be assessed by means of a series of exercises directed by the teacher in relation to the contents of the subject. In order to pass the course, the student must comply with the delivery schedule and development stages of each exercise proposed in the course description.
Due to its practical nature, the ordinary final exam will consist of the delivery of the work developed in the workshop during the course, on the date and in the place indicated in the official exam calendar approved by the School Board.
The assessment criteria for the exercises will be based on the following aspects:
Permanence and participation. Workshop teaching requires the continuous attendance of teachers and students in class. Continuous assessment, public exchange of information, recapitulations of exercises and critical sessions are meaningless without the constant attendance and participation of teachers and students in the workshop. It is intended that students use part of the class hours to complete their proposals.
Critical attitude. All learning requires a personal disposition towards the knowledge being taught. A disposition that, in this case, does not only refer to specific teaching content, but has to do with an attitude towards things and the effects that this attitude has on one's personality. It is therefore a matter of encouraging students to develop a certain critical awareness of the work they do.
Interpretation and argumentation. All project activity starts from a programme of needs and a base territory, which leads to the need to acquire a critical and personal judgement of the place of work and the circumstances in which the architectural project is developed. It is necessary to interpret the reality and the programme, to situate oneself in front of the activity, what does it refer 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, drawing is the first construction of an idea and, therefore, an essential means of expressing ourselves in architecture. Drawing will have two profiles: one that tries to establish a universal language that serves as a means of communication with other people; and a more personal profile, with which to test one's own ideas. In both, the architect's capacity for expression is equally important. Equally important is the development of other techniques with which the student can express the arguments of the project or certain developments in it.
In any case, the documentation submitted must allow the understanding of the project by means of a sufficient definition of the geometry and construction of the projected building, assessing clarity, precision, rigour, coherence and concreteness.
Construction logic. The materials and their different characteristics, the force of gravity, the installations and the constructive systems constitute an inevitable guideline 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 we can speak of "economy of means" as the attitude of eliminating everything that is superfluous or non-essential for the end pursued, including in this concept the greater or lesser complexity of each proposal.
Quality of the project in terms of the following aspects:
1. The overall coherence and appropriateness 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: geographical, urban, cultural, social, architectural, technological, etc. The appropriate implantation of the architecture in the site in relation to the topography, climate or orientation, as well as other environmental conditions (urban planning, protection, accessibility, and other technical conditions).
3. The correct solution of the programme of uses.
4. The appropriateness, suitability, feasibility, effectiveness and interest of the proposed architecture.
5. Attention to the construction techniques and their use as a project-generating material, with criteria of rationality and sustainability.
6. The appropriateness in the choice of the systems that make up the projected architecture and the degree of coherence between them: form, structure, envelope, spatial organisation, construction, installations, finishes, etc.
7. Attention to the aesthetic component and the perceptive control of the proposed architectural form and its relationship with its surroundings.
8. The degree of innovation in the project, in any of its aspects.
Numerical evaluation
At the end of each exercise presented by the student throughout the course, the teacher will make a critical assessment of the student's work and will inform the student of the provisional grade obtained in each of them.
The final grade for the course will be obtained on the day of the ordinary exam after the student has submitted all the exercises carried out during the course in accordance with the critical evaluation previously carried out by the teacher. This final grade will be the weighted average of the different exercises, in the following proportion:
Exercise 1: Approach to the place. Research, ideas and previous approaches (25%).
Exercise 2: Intervention project, with an intermediate pre-delivery of control, not computable) (60%)
Exercise 3: Constructive development and materiality (15%)
Although, depending on the path followed by the student, their attendance, attitude and participation in class, the final mark may exceed this weighted average. In order to pass the course, all the exercises must have obtained the minimum grade of a pass mark of 5.
In order to pass the course, students must have attended at least 80% of the classes and activities scheduled during the course, as well as having submitted all the assignments on the dates established for the different deliveries.
Extraordinary assessment session
Extraordinary examination
The exam will consist of two tests:
1. A first test consisting of the presentation and oral presentation of all the course work together with the work processes (sketchbook, drawings, models, perspectives, etc. that explain the projects carried out by the student until reaching the final solution), in accordance with the contents and development established in the subject statement (60% of the grade).
2. And a second test consisting of an exercise related to the subject of the course during the time established for the exam, which the student will present to the teacher on the same day at the end of the test (40% of the grade).
The assessment criteria for the work carried out in both exams will be the same as those established for the continuous assessment (except for the section "Permanence and participation").
The grade for the course will be the weighted average of the two exams (60% for A) and 40% for B)). In any case, in order to pass the exam, students must obtain a minimum grade of 5 in all the exercises of the first test, as well as in the exercise with face-to-face development of the second test.
Single final assessment
In exceptional cases, a single final assessment may be held in the ordinary exam session, provided that the student requests it within the deadlines established by the regulations, alleging and accrediting the reasons for not being able to follow the continuous assessment system.
The exam will consist of two tests:
1. A first test consisting of the presentation and oral exhibition of all the course work together with the work processes (sketchbook, drawings, models, perspectives, etc. that explain the projects carried out by the student until the final solution is reached), in accordance with the contents and development established in the subject statement (60% of the grade).
2. And a second test consisting of an exercise related to the subject of the course during the time established for the exam, which the student will present to the teacher on the same day at the end of the test (40% of the grade).
The assessment criteria for the work carried out in both exams will be the same as those established for continuous assessment (except for the section "Permanence and participation").
The grade for the course will be the weighted average of the two exams (60% for A) and 40% for B)). In any case, in order to pass the exam, students must obtain a minimum grade of 5 in all the exercises of the first test, as well as in the exercise with face-to-face development of the second test.
