• Keeping with the reflective and exploratory nature of the course, students are encouraged to participate in all classes, whether through direct responses to specific questions or through reflections that emerge from the ongoing discussion—hence, class attendance is mandatory. Oral discourse and written exercises will be used to empower students with tools capable of enhancing critical judgment and reflective capacity regarding the issues discussed throughout the semester. Editing and curation skills will also be fostered through planned exercises that will inform and develop the work to be done in Project VII, despite the autonomy of both courses. Similarly, it is expected that the content acquired in Project VII can be applied to History of the City I, with knowledge transfer between the two courses. Joint sessions between these two courses are also planned for the presentation of shared content, analysis of case studies, and public discussion of student work.
• Mandatory
• Students are expected to be able to: • Demonstrate an understanding of key concepts of history and the city. • Demonstrate that they can apply these concepts intelligently and critically to new situations arising from contemporary architectural practice, both their own and that of others. • Understand historical-theoretical texts and projects at a high level. • Structure reflections on the city that are critically and intelligently based on the concepts and arguments discussed and studied in the course. • Discuss, debate, and defend their position through articulate, well-argued, and justified discourse, demonstrated through consistent, clear, and objective examples, with a coherent, logical, and rigorous reasoning structure.

• The course will question some of the basic concepts of history and the city, drawing on tools from other disciplines such as philosophy, geography, economics, sociology, and cultural studies. Starting with the study of four cities—Lisbon, Amsterdam, London, and New York—the course will analyze how their territorial evolution occurred over the centuries up to the present day. The course will seek to understand how these urban agglomerations reacted, and continue to react, to a set of forces acting or making themselves felt in the city—wars, migrations, technological revolutions, economic transformations, political changes, natural and human disasters, climate change, and cultural changes. It will examine how individual architects contribute their projects to this common palimpsest, what interpretations they have of the city, and what they bring to its construction. It will also reflect on the contemporary readings and interpretations of these actions.
• Semestral
• Often, the notion of history, from the time of the writer, involves the linear and impartial narration of various events that contribute, even if inadvertently, to a certain inevitability of the past. Similarly, the city, in the disciplinary context of architecture, is usually read as an autonomous object, immune to external constraints. The aim is to question these assumptions and interrogate the very concept of history and the city, extending this reflection beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries. History will be considered as a partial account made up of multiple retrospective presents situated in time and space. The city, as the materialization of a set of forces resulting from the most varied power relations that have occurred over time in that specific space. Understanding how these "presents" and "forces" have significant implications and can be applied to current design practice is the contribution of this CU.

• In the Design Thinking course unit, innovative methodologies are used to support the teaching-learning process, such as Case Studies, Collaborative Work, and Problem-Based Learning (PBL). These approaches promote active student participation, encouraging them to apply theoretical knowledge to practical scenarios. Case Studies present students with real or simulated situations, challenging them to develop creative solutions. Collaborative Work strengthens team spirit, essential for success in business projects, while PBL stimulates critical thinking and independent problem-solving. Additionally, the use of digital tools like Figma allows students to quickly test and improve prototypes, ensuring iterative and practical learning.
