Architecture History III

• ApresentaçãoPresentation

  This UC will address as themes the various manifestations of Renaissance architecture, and its consequences in Mannerism up to Baroque and Rococo. It will also address the passage to the neoclassical as a result of the Enlightenment, but above all the tiredness of the Baroque-Rococo. Like the other History of Architecture disciplines, it aims, beyond its scope, to constitute itself as a conceptual and instrumental basis for project disciplines. Understanding architecture in history will be fundamental, both to formulate new proposals and to intervene on what has already been built. This UC also intends to be a contribution for the student to look at architecture through the human and poetic.

• ObjectivosObjectives

  Understanding the practical and theoretical architectural panorama of the Renaissance and Classicism as an attitude contrary to medieval barbarism, without, however, ignoring the precious plastic and constructive contribution of the Romanesque and Gothic styles. Focus students on understanding the evolutionary process of architecture and consequently its presence in current architectural practices and theory. Understanding the History and Theory of Architecture in the broader cultural context throughout History. Understanding the relationship between theoretical and technical/technological propositions. Understanding of the past and how it can be instrumental in thinking about the new problems that will arise in Architecture in the present and in the future. Understanding of History as an instrumental discipline in thinking or projecting in Architecture.

• MetodologiaMethodology

  Each theme to be developed must be framed in the intellectual and cultural conjuncture, in general, and, in the artistic one, in particular. Drawing will be used insofar as it provides a better understanding of the architectural object and is a fundamental instrument in the formulation of its synthesis. There will also be use of written language in the form of descriptive synthesis and training in the observation of the architectural object. The specific vocabulary of each moment in history is thought of as a means of relating the architectural object with the respective construction methods, materials, meanings, etc. Abstracting from language and other specific constraints of each historical moment to relate the object under analysis with other contemporaries is also proposed. Students are called to participate in all classes either through more direct answers to concrete questions or through reflections that emerge from the ongoing discourse.
