Teaching language
Portuguese and englishObjectives
The Course Construction Wooden Architecture aime to extend students' knowledge of wood so they can develop their critical capacity regarding to the use of wood in architecture.
">
Learning outcomes and competences
1. understand the use of wood in different contexts and circumstances while reading a set of wooden buildings of national and international panorama.2. acquire critical capacity to evaluate, in design pratice, the technical variables of wood when inserted in construction systems and construction processes.
Working method
PresencialProgram
Theoretical classes promote the intersection of the following themes:
1. The tradition, evolution and contemporary development of the use of wood in buildings;
2. The ecological importance of forests and wood;
3. the technical properties of wood and its derived materials; 4. Wood as building material;
5. Future concerns and potentialities about wood architecture.

Teaching methods and learning activities
In the theoretical time, we search the intersection of themes exposed in the program above and it is divided into four moments:
1. Through an exposition of scientific issue about wood, we try to read a set of significant works in the ambit of the wooden architecture, trying to systematize constructive solutions in its relation with the architectural form. In the first theoretical class, after presenting the objectives and organization of the course, each student will have to choose a wooden building to study. From the critical analysis, it is intended that the student investigates and develops a theoretical work, drawing and writing, on how the wood was used.
2. Individual work under development is expected to be monitored, in the middle of the semester.
3. Different guests, related to the use of wood in their professional work, will share their experience in the third school moment.
4. Finally, it is planned to visit an industrial wood processing unit that will finish the end of the semester.

Eligibility for exams
Attendance at least 75% of the contact times is considered a prerequisite, in accordance with the applicable legislation. The achievement of frequency also requires the delivery of the practical work done in each class and the theorical work done on wooden building selected by the student.
Calculation formula of final grade
The final classification is calculated by summing the scores obtained by applying the weighting factors to each of the evaluation components: attendance (25%); average of practical work done in class (25%); and theorical work on a wooden building selected by the student (50%).Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)
In accordance with applicable legislation.
Classification improvement
In accordance with applicable legislation.
