The objectives, skills and outcome of the learning process are:
1 - To make the student familiar with the subject of Architectural Theory, in its specificities as well as with the interactions it establishes with other fields (i.s. Design, History, Building, Planning)
2 - To make the student familiar with a sequence of theoretical movements, architectural languages and architecture' thinkers who left their mark in the developing of Architecture and in the field of Theory in particular.
3 - To develop general knowledge, critical capacity and personal interests that will support the student in his architectural practices and design experiences.
Aquisição de conhecimentos gerais quanto á produção teórica posterior á modernidade e aquisição de competências gerais em termos de reflexão-crítica arquitectónica.

"Theoy 1" has teaching sessions, theory and practice, of group nature (generally, once a week).
In the first one, it is envisage the general contents of the course encompassing oral presentations of the various contents done by the professor. The presentation of contents are illustrated with powerpoints and, with the possible frequency, with the contribution of the students and ocasional individualities invited for the matter.
in the second one, short works of experimentation and research will be developed relataing to thematic contents/periods exposed in the run of the "collective" theoretical sessions. (E1 focusing Moden theory and E2 focusing Postmodern and Contemporary theory) Such outcome, including a oral exhibition component and a written exhibition component, - done in and out of the class - performed by students and closely followed by the professor will play the role of consolidating and promoting a critical reflection over the thematic contents/periods of the course. Each work is preced by a discussion with the teacher based on a "plan" made and oral presented by the student after the work begin.
Evaluation will encompass assiduity and participation as well as knowledge acquired by the student over the thematic contents/periods studied. The capacity for critical thinking demonstrated over the 2 necessary practical works will also be taken into account. The evaluation scale is that of 20 values.
We are talking about an evaluation system destributed without a final examination exam: i.e. there will be two separated moments of evaluation (each including the following components: "oral presentation"/plan and "documental presentaion"/essay). Failure to deliver one of the exercicses, or failure to deliver a oral ou written exhon component, will mean a "0" in the final summing up of totals for the concluding grade.

Têm frequência (com aprovação ou reprovação) os alunos regularmente inscritos que não ultrapassem o máximo permitido de faltas (25 %); a classificação final igual ou superior a 8 valores possibilita a realização de uma 'prova de melhoria de classificação'.
Calculation of the final grade:
Final grade are calculated as followed:
- Exercise E1(done individually between the start of the shool year and the first evaluation) includes
a initial oral exhibition component with pwp (10+10%)
and a final written exhibition (30%)
- Exercise E2(done individually between the start of the shool year and the first evaluation) includes
a initial oral exhibition component with pwp (10+10%)
and a final written exhibition (30%)
- Assiduity (corresponding to a maximum of 25% of absences), is a pre-requisite.
Note: The deliver and discussion of the plans, is a prerequisite to the evaluation of the exercise.
According to the current applicable law.
The possibility of an exercise for upgrading the results is available; for students enrolling through the normal methods and who will not go over the maximum of absences allowed (25%) and who achieved a final grade of 8 values or more.
The exam, focusing on the 2 periods/ thematic contents delivered over the year, encompasses 2 parts (2h), and envisages to evaluate the components of documental and oral exhibitions.
All sessions of collective teaching and oral presentation are done along with audio-visual resources applying for the utilization of a computer and a projector with PowerPoint application. The students will sometimes be visit the Library and, will e need to use informatics resources.
* According to the devellopment of COVID-19 pandemy, and depending on the dispostions that may be demanded by the Portuguese Health Authorities, changes may occur in face-to-face classes regime.
