Integrated Master Degree in Architecture

General information

Official Code: 9257
Acronym: MIARQ
Description: Estruturado em dois ciclos de estudos, o Mestrado Integrado em Arquitectura visa assegurar uma formação qualificada em arquitectura, que assenta na construção de um saber específico que se funda na articulação de diferentes áreas disciplinares que convergem para a compreensão e construção de um entendimento sobre o espaço ― os seus fundamentos, propósito, relações e configurações. Para a construção do referido saber e compreensão e entendimento sobre o espaço são convocados e desenvolvidos no estudante o pensamento teórico e o exercício da crítica, salientando-se, ainda, o desenvolvimento e afirmação de uma cultura de desenho entendida como instrumento de pensamento e de representação, que se consideram estruturantes na formação do arquitecto.

Oporto. Territory and networks of invisibility.

50142C5 - ECTS

Object:

Territories and networks of invisibilities, dialectical between the "invisible city" and the "visible city", considering process, project and work in the public space (infrastructure, socialization and urbanization) of the territory of Porto and the "Grande Porto" as a lab to reflect, question and understand the processes of contemporary transformation of urbanity and the "urban being".

 

Framework/Objectives:

This curricular unit of the Integrated Master's Degree in Architecture of FAUP (MIARQ/FAUP) aims to contribute to deepen a field of theoretical and practical reflection on the relationship, in society in general and in communities in particular, of idea/strategy/process/project/work in the equation of urbanization and urbanity, considering the disciplinary area of Architecture and its transversalities with the social and human sciences and the public politcs in the social, political, economic and cultural fields.

Combining territory and landscape, urbanization, urbanity and rurality, memory and forgetfulness, "human being" and "urban being", it is intended, through a teaching practice based on the emphasis of the learning factor, on the trinomial teaching-learning-research, to approach the urgency of reconsidering strategies for the space of the city, its territory and communities, in a logic of "Service Learning" and "Engage Students", in the context of the 3rd mission of the University. 

It underlines the importance of strengthening the presence in teaching-learning, in Architecture, of academic reflection on the equation of networks, territories and communities of invisibility, materials and immaterials, flows and dynamics and variable geometries of mobility of urban and periurban populations to the extent of their potential to create real conditions for a more inclusive, sustained development and planning, of progress, according to the most current trends of feminist urbanism and participatory urbanism. In this sense, it is, from the first contact time, a concern that requires the reinvention of teaching methods/processes in order to capture attention and develop the profile of the student leading to the formulation of critical thinking. 

Estat the boundaries/barriers of everyday life, very marked by logics of physical and intellectual "zonation", of borders and rigid territories in its spatiality and social, political and urban conformation, in a tense relationship between access and exclusion, identity and revulsion, belonging and abandonment, we can characterize the pedagogical practice associated with this curricular unit as potentially catalyst and unlocker of the individual and collective construction of critical positioning, in a constant dialectic between teaching and learning, teaching and research and research and society, developing the 3rd mission of the University.

Starting from the specific case of the city of Porto and the territory called "Grande Porto" as an experimental laboratory, this U.C., by the evidence it intends to create, by encouraging students in the continuation of their studies and dynamics of participation in society (the social function of the architect), by the plan of reflecting on their subjects of focus, considers to be able to enrich the field of collective memory (material and immaterial) , both by the information and interpretation of the daily, ethnographic reality, the urban environment and the primary sources of material and immaterial heritage, as well as the research that may result from the curricular component and extracurricular extensions and interactions with other communities in the context of the University and civil society in general. 

Anchoring itself in the objective of expanding and disseminating current knowledge and, combining it with the pedagogical and didactic dynamics and practices of a final cycle of an integrated master's degree in the artistic-scientific field, a Community of Pedagogical Innovation - inserted at Pedaghogical Innovation/University of Porto (CIP-UP-PTRI)-, an integrated line of trans and interdisciplinary studies and a grant of research projects, convening FAUP and consolidating collaborative practices with FBAUP and FPCEUP was constituted, focusing on sharing practices in the curricular and research spheres, providing, in order to create platforms of intellectual intersection, a set of classes open to the academic community, spaces for sharing and discussion in social networks, collective conversations and tertulias and colloquium spaces. In these moments, which are expected to be very participated, with the presence of students of formal and informal frequency, Portuguese, Erasmus, other academic years, other organic units of the UP and even some who have already completed the master's course and who are in internship or start the frequency of third cycle courses, allow the creation of a pedagogical atmosphere, of an enrichment of the critical mass in the university environment and of affirmation of diversity, inclusion and dissemination as essential values of the classroom space. 

Observing the current formative and reflective offer in the context of FAUP and PU, considering as added value the construction of specific knowledge in an interdisciplinary register, transdisciplinaryly enriching the students' curricula, enabling them, by choice, the development of specialized studies in the last two years of MIARQ, showing them possible paths leading to the elaboration of their dissertation processes or final project , with this UC, it is expected to open perspectives in the discipline of Architecture and transversalities with areas that are related to it. In a prospective stimulus to the continuation of studies, and the continuation of research work.

 

Among the multiple reasons that could motivate us to develop this whole pedagogical process, some are judged as structuring: 

-Recovery of the social sense of education in Architecture in order to contribute to the development of society;

-Potentiation of a democratic and participatory concept of active citizenship, fostering consideration in the equation of the urbanity of physical and social networks that characterize the aspect of urbanism that considers actors, people and communities in their equation;

-Underline the urban relations of cohesion and increase of the social capital of neighborhoods and communities, enhancing the complicity of teaching/research processes, learning to work networks, to network and to monitor the progress and results of these same intervention projects in the logics of the aforementioned learning in service;

-Improve the social perception of students and researchers and empowerthem of means, tools and platforms for understanding and dedrawing urban territories, especially the so-called losing territories in which these networks of invisibility are expressed. From the conditions of basic urbanity to the communication and digital information networks.

Finally, it is the objective of this U.C. to help to understand contemporaneity, regarding the study, understanding, problematization and interpretation of ideas, processes, projects and works in the context of public space, from the information and interpretation of these "territories and networks of invisibility", from the great work and research field that is Porto.
