All units of the 1st Cycle Studies and Design Studio I, Urbanism, Urbanístics, Humanities
Historical and theoretical knowledge of architecture, territorial planning and urbanism
Skills in analysis, synthesis, organization and strategic planning
The Design Studio II initiates the final phase of a path of design simulation that students develop over the Master in Architecture. In this sense, and having regard to its insertion at the end of the 2nd cycle of studies, it provides themes and programs resulting from this learning, to be chosen by the student in order to supplement or enhance his previous path, developed inside or outside DARQ/FCTUC.
In Design Studio IIB - City and [Infra] Structure -, students should develop:
- expertise on Urban Culture and Urban Design.
- knowledge on different instruments and scales of Urban Design.
- knowledge about the problems of urban infra-structuring, mainly the impact of facilities and public spaces in the city development.
Apply this knowledge on a given intervention area, preselected by the teacher, in Portuguese territory or abroad
Students are invited to develop initially, and integrated into working groups, an overall strategy, considering:
- the geographical support of the intervention area;
- the historical development of this area;
- the understanding of the role of the physical preexistences;
- the framework of existing territorial and urban policies;
- architectural programs to analyze and develop;
Secondly, students must develop, individually or in smaller groups, a focus on a particular area of this sector, deepening different scales of urban design and architecture, with particular focus on the (re)design of urban infrastructure, public spaces, and community facilities, which might be relevant for the restructuring and regeneration of this area.
The semester final works will be openly debated, through exhibitions and seminars with experts and citizens, or even through short workshop and think-tank events
