• M1: Each issue to be developed should be framed in the intellectual and cultural context in general, and in the artistic context in particular. M2: Drawing will be used as it provides a better understanding of the architectural object and is a fundamental instrument in the formulation of its synthesis. The reflection on the architectural object will also be made so that its reading provides solutions that can be re-balanced in the discipline of Design. M3: Students are called to participate in all classes either through more direct answers to specific questions or through reflections that emerge from the current speech. M4: The teacher will monitor the individual assignments.  M5: The assessment will be based on the following items:     5.1- One written tests: 40%;     5.2- Research work: 43%;     5.3- Assiduity and active participation 30%

• The curricular unit of History of Architecture IV focuses on the decisive moments in the construction of the history of architecture of the Contemporary Age, addressing the movements, authors and reference works, since the beginning of the 18th century, passing in more depth by the XIX , until the twentieth century, with the objective of developing in the student a critical and informed thinking fundamental to the interpretation of contemporary architectures and fundamental in terms of historiographical, theoretical and projectual research.

• O1: Develop the ability to design based on thought and critical thinking (observation and analysis), drawing (process), and space (scale, form, and structure). O2: Explore the notions of inhabiting space, in the building and in the context of the city. O3: Develop the notions of scale. O4: Develop the fundamentals of technical drawing. O5: Develop the creation of models as a design tool. O6: Learn about the basic techniques and materials of construction. O7: Learn about and study notable cases in architecture. O8: Understand the importance of the role of architecture in society in its various aspects: social, economic, cultural, environmental, and in the quality of life of citizens, both in the context of inhabiting private space and in the context of inhabiting public or collective space, which encompasses the most varied programs. O9: Understand the capacity of architecture to function as a regenerating element of the urban fabric and to solve problems of society and the city.

• The Project IV course unit focuses on developing critical thinking essential to the practice of architecture and the development of an architectural project. It aims to develop tools for creating projects in different contexts and constraints, always considering the habitable space according to a program. The course unit intends to provide a studio environment for drawing and discussion between students and teachers on the different disciplinary areas that converge on the project. Thus, in terms of thematic approach, in the 2nd semester of the 2nd year, the intention is to focus on the characteristics of the constructed object, according to a cultural program and residential space, considering, from the outset, the materiality, technique and ecology of the construction. The theme for the 2nd semester of the 2nd year of Project is: "The cultural and residential space. The constructed object: material and constructive aspects and the ecology of the construction"

• In accordance with the reflective and exploratory nature of this course unit, students are expected to experiment with different tools and working methods. The aim is to diversify the modes of reflection.   M1: Expository lectures; M2: Text analysis groups; M3: Collective discussion; M4: Individual written reflections; M5: Guided group work; M6: Public presentations.

• For architectural theory to maintain its relevance, it must retain its historical significance as observation (the¿ria) and theatre (theã). While the former grants the observer a certain agency over the object seen, the latter transfers agency to the means (or medium) of framing, performance, and/or visualization. More than simply reviewing theories more or less established by disciplinary tradition, the aim is to understand the major debates of today. Therefore, the student is expected to be able to:   O1: Identify - perceive problems and characterize them, analyze and interpret contemporary debates and their implications and contributions to and from architecture; O2: Reflect - construct a thoughtful position on these debates through justified and coherent argumentation; O3: Communicate - develop a discourse with clarity and precision in the instruction and organization of oral, written, and visual records.

• The course is divided into different themes that characterize and interrogate contemporary disciplinary debates. For each theme, several works and projects are presented that highlight its architectural manifestation. To support the discussion, there is a set of content and authors who, privileging different geographies, genres, cultures, and disciplines, will serve as starting points for reflection.   S1: Knowledge - and the conditions of its construction; S2: Digital - and the technologies that transforms life; S3: Work - and the precariousness of immaterial labor; S4: Human - and its redefinitions, transformations, and expansions; S5: Planet - and the means of extractive production; S6: Economy - and the supposed imperative of the neoliberal market; S7: Politics - and the place of emancipation of citizens.

• 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.
