Objectives
Project III takes for granted the previously acquiring of methodological skills and handling the technical design necessarily acquired in previous years, having to test and develop them in order to increase the knowledge and experience of students to a superior level of capabilities and requirements.
Under the general theme of community housing and the city as a framework and on, are proposed and carried out a series of exercises enhancers experimentation, reflection and enhance the ability of materialization projectual extending knowledge about Design and Architecture.
First of all, to make the general approach of the issues and problems of collective housing, defined as reflection on modes of living, as a test of the definition of programs and development of cell-spaces that reflect, as well as the study the association of these cells by systems and rules that constitute an effective link and empowering capable of contributing clear gains for the individual residence. It also intends, through the study of fires, distribution systems, the associations into modules and the conformation of the building, make informed and consistent choices typological possible. It is also to do so in an urban setting, forcing to study and understand the procedures and training elements of the urban fabric and the identification of their morphology, studying how to carry out a housing program defines substantial, is, alter or rebuild new urban fabric. Thus, the integration of the two components to reflect and understand the interdependence, the dialectical relationship between urban insertion, the urban morphology and architectural typology housing.
The exercises provided are also intended to advance the experience and skills of design students in three key areas: first in the vastness and complexity of the problems with the gradual introduction of programmatic constraints, urban and legal issues that interfere with the process simpler definition of the form exercised in previous years. Second, the particular difficulties and the potential that the joint work at the same time scales from 1 / 1000 to 1 / 2 provides, that is, checking interdependencies and mutual stimulation between the urban and the general design or detail of the buildings . Third, not least, to treat intensively the constructive aspects, both in its general logic or wisdom in detail, students have the opportunity to realize that they must materialize in a rigorous way, the desired construction, constituting more than one mere addition of information, an essential part of the work of shaping the expression of architecture and provide an opportunity for synthesis of language and construction, with implications and effect on larger scales and throughout the final result.
The general framework of these exercises is relatively conservative. It is understood that the approach to the subject of housing and collective learning phase of the discipline in which they are, justify a more skill-experience-the banal, of the trial of exceptionality or the exercise of speculation programmatic, functional and artistic -- not with the disdain it-before with the knowledge that it all students can, without limiting the level of quality or depth, gain strength for other requirements.

Program

Exercise 1: "Association of lots in Collective Housing". With the duration of the entire first period, is to implement three different solutions of fires and their aggregation through three delivery systems: Access Gallery / Vertical Multiple Access / Direct Access. Being a work that should primarily focus on the characteristics of the arrangements for involving fires, was excluded from the consideration of a real urban support.
The exercise will be conducted in two phases: Phase 1, which will produce the outline of three distribution solutions by developing a three year, the definition of cells and their aggregation on the three types of distribution, while different situations morphological pre-defined: the street corner, top free, gable and articulation, scales 1 / 500 and 1 / 200. Phase 2, is the development of these solutions and a fire-type dealt with in more detail-held leaving the choice of the assumptions outlined above, with the result presented to the scale 1 / 200, with the fire-type studied the scale 1 / 50.
Exercise 2 (phase 1, 2): “Restructuring and Urban Completing an Area in Transformation”; With a duration of about about half of the second period, with continuity / complementarity with the work of the rest period and the third. This is the first implementation of a proposed urban settlement, of substantial length, forcing the opening of new routes, with a mixed program, mainly housing. The exercise will be conducted in two phases. Phase 1, entitled “Implementation and Urban Form” deals with the study of a scale and volume, including circulation, access, public and private spaces designed to sort and organize the intervention area, and worked predominantly in the scales 1 / 1000 and 1 / 500. Phase 2 maintains the location and theme of the previous but now from a common base solution, provided to all students, revisits the characterization of time to complete a housing program with complex urban forms pre-defined.
If the first approach (phase 1) is the structuring of urban space and the definition of morphology, the second deals with it as interpreting the structures and morphologies pre-defined shapes, volumes, options and typological language. This is to practice and realize that the "urban" and soon after, the approach "architecture" are two faces of the same problems and have clear linkages and multiple interdependencies. The exercise takes place at scales Scale 1 / 500 and 1 / 200.
Exercise 2 (phase 3): “Building Collective Housing: Design and Construction”. Its entire length third period, developing a single stage, focused on the study of the buildings previously studied, deepening their general form and its detail, as its structural characteristics and constructive, and for crossing synthesis between expression and construction. The scales are raised to 1 / 100, 1 / 50, 1 / 10 and 1 / 2.

Teaching methods and learning activities

The work is developed through a combination of theoretical and practical moments. On the one hand the performance of sequences of lectures presented by the Regent of discipline with the simultaneous presence of all students and, on the other hand, by practical classes held in classrooms with the monitoring of assistants, with the participation of the Regent so possible and rotating. In the lectures will be presented to perform the exercises, introduced the topics and information necessary for the progress of work, and will be regularly carried out exercises collective inter-class, presentation, comparison and discussion of results. In practical classes will be implemented and executed the exercises, presented, analyzed, criticized and discussed in groups or individually, the progress of work.

Calculation formula of final grade

Assessment methods will be distributed and whithout final examination. There will be four times the allocation of classifications: three of them mid-term (end of first period, midway through the second period, end of the second / early third) and the final one at the end of the year. Besides, there are a series of points-of-status without formal assignment of ratings. The continuity of teacher-student contact during the implementation of the work and the corresponding appreciattion of the development process, is also an important assessment factor. The formal evaluations will be undertaken with individual oral presentation (except the last one), and subsequent analysis and criticism, and then assigned a numerical rating 0 to 20.
To obtain the final classification, each evaluation supersedes and replaces the previous, as it is considered that a route and continued for the better, able to affirm and develop skills and capabilities, to establish security methods and skills is the objective central teaching of the course Project.
The lack of some components of the assessment, ie, non-delivery and non-relevant assessment of any phase of work is considered giving up. However, given the knowledge of students progress until this moment, and if this is positive, it may continue to attend the Course. Compliance with the minimum attendance (75% attendance) will also be an evaluation factor, being assigned ± 1 value for compliance / non-compliance.

Observations

Evaluation Components
Generally the assessment will be continuous in the sense that they should be given to relations with teachers, the presence and participation in class, regularity and continuity of work, attitude and responsiveness to problems and challenges posed. Alongside this assessment it will also offer daily moments of informal assessment, the assessment of the situation, which will be presented / talked / discussed the ongoing work, without the case, however, a delivery.
Will be held four times a formal evaluation, with presentation in standard formats and modes of pre-determined elements, followed by individual comment made by each of the classes and display of numerical ratings. These ratings will consider together, the results achieved in the delivery in both clarity and consistency of the presentation / communication, and the intrinsic quality of the papers presented, and where they should be visible handling capabilities, coordination and integration of urban options, typological, morphological and constructive, with the continuous delivery group. Each classification will absorb the former, incorporating, therefore, an expectation of progression as a positive factor.

Four assessments will be undertaken in accordance with the timetable of the school year, corresponding to four supplies, major evaluations of the work involved. All have of these moments will have personal and public comment except the last one, where the autonomy of the presentation will become more important.

Remarks Projecto 3 is a 3 year project which has Projecto 2 as a precedent.
