Objectives

The discipline of Building Rehabilitation has the following objectives: to make the student aware of the need of preservation and rehabilitation of the built heritage, to alert him(her) for the most current causes of building pathologies associated with incorrect design and construction deficiencies and to provide him (her) with the knowledge that will allow him (her) to recognize the most important pathologies in a building, to determine their possible causes and to define the corresponding rehabilitation solution.
Learning skills and outcomes:
Analysis and critical capacities, as well as fully understanding of the themes addressed;
Consciousness of the implication of the decisions at the design stage in the durability of the buildings;
Improvement of communication capacities;
Time management, interaction in group work and definition of orientation in research;
Basic knowledge that will permit, in the future, to dialog with the different intervenient entities in the project design, construction, rehabilitation or preservation of buildings.

Teaching methods and learning activities

Theoretical classes:
Detailed exposition of the program of the discipline illustrated by real examples of buildings and projects, trying to establish links with the contents of other previous disciplines;

Practice classes:
Mostly tutorial classes for supervision of the group work projects proposed in the beginning of the term. Some parts of these classes are nonetheless, destined to all the students as theoretical/practice classes.
In the end of the semester the different projects should be available to all students at the e-learning platform.
All the support to the disciple, from the summaries, lecture notes, tutorial orientation to the contact with the lecturers should be done through the e-learning service of IRIC (http://elearning.up.pt) in the corresponding area of the discipline, in which the students should register.
Observation: It is thought that, through the length of the course, an extra one and a half hour of individual work of the student per week is required for a successful assimilation of the subjects taught.

Calculation formula of final grade

The final mark will be a weighted sum of the work project evaluation, of its public presentation and of the evaluation made trough the length of the term, including intermediate evaluations and assiduity criteria. The weights to be considered for each of the referred terms of that sum are 60%, 15% e 25%, respectively. A mark equal or superior to 9.5 is required for Approval.

Examinations or Special Assignments

Each work project will be carried by a group of students. Milestones and intermediate evaluations through the length of the term may be required. The work project must be presented in a document form as well as in a public session. The time for this oral presentation will be previously defined and will be equally divided by all member of the work group

Observations

All the evaluation marks will be expressed in a 0 to 20 scale.
All documents presented for evaluation should be excusive work of their legitimate authors.
