Design Studio I D

Recommended Prerequisites

1st Cycle of Studies completed.

Historical and theoretical knowledge of territorial planning and urbanism.

Skills in analysis, synthesis, organization and planning.

Teaching Methods

Lectures:presentation/discussion of keu concepts/theories relating syllabus

Theoretical-practical:direct/continuous monitoring of the student in developing a practical exercise

Lectures by professors/professionals from urbanism, architecture, administrative law,economics

Study visits to areas of intervention and exemplary places

Assessment: Continuous (group work and individual proposed urban design, including a report); attendance (min. 70%) and class participation; discussion sessions

Failure of one phase determines a final negative rating and thus reprobation without special examination.

Learning Outcomes

With this c.u. initiates the final phase of a path of design simulation that students develop during 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 IIA – Landscape and Territory -, students should develop:

- expertise and exercise, the use of the instruments and scales related with Landscape and Urban Design

- knowledge on problematic related to sensitive environments and landscapes, crossing cutting edge rehearse with urbanization politics and common practices and its uses

- knowledge about the problems arising from climate changes, and adaptation a mitigation technics in architectural design

- apply all this knowledge on a given intervention area, preselected by the teacher, in Portuguese territory.

Work Placement(s)

No

Syllabus

Students are invited to develop, integrated in working groups, an overall strategy considering:

- the analysis of the geophysical support and historical development of the intervention area

- the understanding of the role of all physical preexistences, either natural or built

- architectural programs to analyze and develop, that must be researched and assessed

- the framework of existing territorial and urban policies

Secondly, students must develop, individually or in smaller groups, a focus on a particular site of the intervention area, deepening different scales of landscape design, urban and public space design, and architecture, with particular focus on the (re)design of sensitive areas and the natural condition of existing environments, together with architectural programs that might be relevant for its regeneration

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.
