Main Aims/Objectives

The discipline of Constructive Systems has as fundamental objective to deepen the study and the understanding of the mutual and reciprocal implications between the architectural form and the constructive systems that structure and sustain it. In this discipline, special emphasis is placed on current systems (with which students will have more contact in professional practice), neglecting the investigation of systems considered more experimental.

Specific Aims/Objectives

To deepen the understanding of the constructive reason for the architectural forms, both traditional and contemporary:
- To deepen the understanding of the most current building systems.
- To deepen the understanding of detailed drawing systems.

Skills to be acquired

- Understanding and representation, both by two-dimensional and three-dimensional means, of the nexus of coherence between architectural form and the various constructive systems that materialize it.
- Domain of the detailing of the building of dwelling, in particular of the representation of the constructive cut and the constructive detail.

Teaching Procedures

The works are developed through the articulation of theoretical / practical moments.
In the theoretical / practical classes, the exercises will be presented, the topics and information necessary to advance the work will be introduced, as well as, periodically, presentations and discussion of results. In the classes will be implemented and executed exercises proposed, presented, analyzed, criticized and discussed, in group or individually, the progress of the work.

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, response to problems and challenges. There will also be continuous evaluation of two written tests / delivery of papers, according to the school calendar. The fundamental moments of evaluation established will also be fulfilled: Frequency 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 learning and investigation;
- Multimedia material (documentaries, images, etc.).
