Main Aims/Objectives
To provide the student with theoretical and critical knowledge with reference to the design process, with the awareness that this is essential to the creation of architectural form, articulating theoretical knowledge with practical knowledge. From this perspective, design economics is a disciplinary area that studies the way(s) in which the different elements of the design process are coordinated and what their respective contributions are to enhance the diversity of architectural forms.
Specific Aims/Objectives
It is intended that the student understands the design process as a technical and intellectual act - supported by research and structured thinking that will sustain the architectural form. It is also intended that the student, from the recognition of the variable articulation between several elements/constituents of the design process, recognizes the theoretical and practical resources to manage their creativity, enhancing the balance of the formal whole - the architectural object.
Skills to be acquired
The student should understand the curricular unit of Project Economics in the context of the nature/essence of the architectural project (as a transformer of reality into potency; as a creative act; as a process; as a document). They should acquire skills that allow them to know how to integrate their design process in the multidisciplinary context of contemporary architecture.
Teaching Procedures
Theoretical classes follow a communication strategy that encourages learning, discussion, criticism and the elaboration of synthesis, starting from the presentation of content on the ´how to´ architecture through the project(s) (texts, images, videos, cartography and schemes).
Programme
0. Project economics: The approach of the different elements that contribute to the understanding of the whole.
1. Nature of the project;
2. The history of the project;
3. Before starting;
4. The sources of the project;
5. The process of ideation;
6. From ideas to forms;
7. The development of the project;
8. The representation;
9. The ´do´ and ´how to do´;
10. The paths of the project (six architects - six processes).
Evaluation Type
Continuous assessment will be supported by the following elements (taking into account the University´s General Knowledge Regulations):
1. Attendance;
2. Punctuality;
3. Participation;
4. Two written tests.
Teaching Resources

1. Diverse bibliography with relevant information (texts, cartography, photographs, etc.);
2. Projection of synthesized information (texts, cartography, photographs, etc.) into digital files (jpeg, pdf, ppt).
