Buildings III

Architecture
  • ApresentaçãoPresentation
    Buildings III is part of the Scientific Area of Technologies and deepens knowledge concerning the technical and constructive definition of buildings. The execution project provides the main context for application, relating construction systems, materials, building performance, regulations, technical representation and coordination between architecture, structure and building services. In the 2026/2027 academic year, housing is adopted as the thematic field of application, with particular attention to affordable rental housing, in connection with Decree-Law No. 68/2019 of 22 May and with research lines developed within CITAI-DATA.
  • ProgramaProgramme
    Technical and constructive definition of buildings Execution project: written and graphic documents, dimensions, levels, materials, finishes, detailing and documentary consistency. Habitability and accessibility Dimensions, rooms, circulation, access, lighting and ventilation, with reference to the RGEU and Decree-Law No. 163/2006. Safety, circulation and compartmentation Fire safety, evacuation, exits and compartmentation, under Decree-Law No. 220/2008 and the applicable regulations. Envelope, materials and performance Walls, floors, roofs, openings, construction systems, thermal and acoustic performance, and detailing. Construction integration and technical coordination Relationship between architecture, structure and building services; technical spaces, passages, openings, voids and provisions.
  • ObjectivosObjectives
    By the end of the curricular unit, students should be able to: Understand the principles underlying the technical and constructive definition of buildings; Read and interpret written and graphic documentation, recognising the level of information required for construction; Relate materials, construction systems, building envelope and building performance; Interpret and apply the relevant legal, regulatory and technical framework governing buildings; Recognise and analyse coordination requirements between architecture, structure and building services; Develop critical analysis, synthesis and communication skills concerning technical issues related to buildings.

  • MetodologiaMethodology
    The curricular unit combines theory-practice teaching, guided analysis of real technical documentation and individual guidance. Buildings-related contents are studied through execution-project documents, legislation, regulations and technical documentation, relating construction, performance and coordination. Individual guidance supports the progressive development of the Critical Execution Project Review. Sessions introducing applied research within CITAI-DATA are also included, addressing housing, buildings and territory, without altering the scientific and pedagogical autonomy of the curricular unit.
