• In addition to communication through drawing (free and rigorous) and graphic pieces of different types, in terms of representation, in the first semester the project will be developed at the Preliminary Study level. The methodology consists of quick exercises in class to stimulate creativity, and two main exercises that address the different program contents related to “DOMESTIC SPACE and HOUSING.” Work developed under theoretical and practical guidance An interdisciplinary approach is developed in the monitoring of the work, using architectural tools. A study visit is promoted. Work phases: 1 Analysis, research, and concept: sketches; diagrams (geometrization; volumetrics; uses); photos. 2 Study and evolution of the base proposal: proposal drawings; references. 3 Final project and pieces: drawing (plans, sections, elevations); 3D visualization; model; descriptive report.

• The objectives of the CU are: To develop the ability to design based on thinking and criticism (observation and analysis), drawing (process) and space (scale, form and structure). To explore the notions of living space, in buildings and in the context of the city. To develop notions of scale. To develop the fundamentals of technical drawing. To develop the creation of models as a design tool. Learn about basic construction techniques and materials. Learn about and study notable examples of architecture. Understand the importance of the role of architecture in society in various areas: social, economic, cultural, environmental and in the quality of life of citizens, both in the context of inhabiting private space (the home) and in the context of inhabiting public or collective space, which encompasses a wide variety of programmes. Understand the capacity of architecture to function as a regenerative element of the urban fabric and to solve problems in society and the city.

• The programme content aims to achieve the proposed objectives in line with the ability to design based on thinking and criticism (observation and analysis), drawing (process) and space (scale, form and structure). In terms of the programme, it addresses domestic space and housing. Exercise 1 consists of designing a small housing module based on research and investigation into living and the characteristics of domestic space. It is proposed that the module should integrate a specific urban space to be defined by the student. Exercise 2 consists of designing a housing building in the centre of Portimão for a specific client, which requires the definition and organisation of the space to be designed and allows for the exploration of different types of housing in a consolidated urban context. The study of the urban context is proposed.

• The Project III course focuses on developing critical thinking essential to the practice of architecture and the development of an architectural project. It aims to develop tools for developing projects in different contexts and conditions, always considering the living space. The course aims to provide a studio environment for drawing and discussion between students and teachers on the different subject areas that converge in the project. The theme for the first semester of the second year of Design is based on the topic: ‘Domestic space and housing. Design: thought, drawing and space’. Thus, in terms of thematic approach, in the 1st semester of the 2nd year, the aim is to focus on the design process based on thinking and criticism (observation and analysis), design (process) and space (scale, form and structure).

• In accordance with the reflective and exploratory nature of the Curricular Unit, students are invited to participate in all classes either through more direct answers to specific questions or through reflections that emerge from the ongoing discussion - hence attendance at classes is mandatory. Speech, writing and photography will be used, in order to equip the student with instruments capable of enhancing critical judgment and reflective capacity in relation to the issues/themes discussed throughout the semester. The monitoring of exercises may be individual or collective.

• For architectural theory to maintain its relevance, it must maintain its historical significance as observation (the¿ria) and theater (theã). While the former grants the observer a certain agency over the object seen, the latter transfers that agency to the means (or medium) of framing, performance, and/or visualization. It is in this sense that the aim is for students to become familiar with the range of tools available to architects. They should be able to read, understand, analyze, and interpret texts and images and, in turn, be able to translate their own reflections on a given subject through texts and images. It is also intended that they be able to discuss, debate, and defend their positions through articulate, well-argued and justified discourse, demonstrated through consistent, clear, and objective examples, with a rigorous, coherent and logical structure of reasoning.

• The CU is divided into different questions that seek to characterize and interrogate the definition and the limits of the discipline. What is architectural theory, architecture, architect, discipline, originality, history, oeuvre, criticism, investigation, profession, canon and teaching will be some of the guiding questions. Simultaneously, for each interrogation, a dissecting instrument: theory, treaty, drawing, speech, essay, photography, manifesto, diagram, project, narrative and archive. Necessarily, as a support to the disassembly exercise, there is a set of contents and authors that are addressed. However, its use, privileging different geographies, genres and cultures, will not be so much as programmatic content, but as examples that prove or disprove certain positions, approaches or possible interpretations. Obviously, given the infinity of possible answers, a definitive solution, or even a consensus, is not sought for each question.

• In etymological terms, theory, from the Greek the¿ria or the¿ros, means to look at, see, contemplate, but also, consider, speculate. It is a point of view, a perspective on things, their description and, of course, an attempt to understand them, to give them meaning. In general terms, theory can be defined as a way of seeing, understanding, explaining and clarifying events or objects. Theory is also a way of questioning assumptions, present realities and the way in which discourse is formed and maintained. Its task is to make sense of the world and form intelligible narratives, orienting from the particular to the universal through abstraction. It is through the articulation between the abstract and the concrete that theory has the capacity to act, in contrast, for example, with philosophy. This is the capacity that allows theory to be an instrument of intervention, and of change, in a rapidly changing world. Theory is a way of thinking and acting.

• Construction 02, offered in the second year of the Architecture programme, belongs to the field of Architectural Technology. It focuses on construction as an integrated technical system, articulating materiality, structure, infrastructure, environmental performance and execution. The course builds upon Construction 01, shifting from the analysis of constructive elements to their integration within a complete architectural object. The main exercise consists of the technical and execution design of a habitable capsule in an extreme climate, addressing the building envelope, passive strategies and infrastructural systems. The course consolidates the tectonic dimension of architecture and promotes rigorous technical application.
