Main Aims/Objectives
Deepening of the essential problems of the construction of the architecture, its formalization and concretization in the project. Deepening the relations between the expression of materials and the architectural expression of the built space.
Understanding the role of materials in the formalization of an architectural discourse and the complexity inherent in the constructive process.
Specific Aims/Objectives
Deepening of the set of essential knowledge in the field of the use of the different types of materials with particular emphasis in the constructive systems used in the formulation of architectural space.
Deepening the reading of architecture in its material condition allowing students to deepen the essential means of apprehending the constructive aspects of architecture.
Skills to be acquired
Ability to interpret the role of the material in the construction of the architectural space.
Acquisition of operational instruments at the level of materiality that support the understanding of the project from the constructive aspects and its material meaning. Ability to understand the role of materials as an integrated system in architecture.
Teaching Procedures
The works are developed through the articulation of theoretical and practical moments. In the theoretical classes will be presented the exercises to be done, introduced the topics and information necessary to advance the work, as well as periodically made presentations and discussion of results. In the practical classes will be implemented and executed exercises proposed, presented, analyzed, criticized and discussed, in group or individually, the progress of the work.
Programme
Understanding of the architectural idea through the knowledge of the materials and constructive systems that support it. The use of materials in elementary construction systems carried out in the deepening of the material chair in the following themes to be addressed:
- the relationship between material expression and architectural expression.
- the constructive complexity of built space;
-problems of the project for the issues of representation and readability of the space projected from the constructive aspects.
Evaluation Type
By the very character of the discipline, the evaluation will be continuous and permanent. In this sense, attention will be taken to attendance, participation in classes, regularity and continuity of work, the response to problems and challenges. There will also be continuous evaluation of two written tests and delivery of papers, according to the school calendar. The fundamental moments of evaluation will be fulfilled: the Frequency Test and the Final Exam.
Teaching Resources
In order to achieve the required objectives and competences, the following teaching resources will be used:
- Computers;
- Specialized bibliography and available in the media library and library of the University Lusíada;
- Indication of key texts for the learning and preparation of the research work;
- Multimedia material (documentaries, images, etc.).
