ISMAT 13721

City History I

• ApresentaçãoPresentation

  This CU aims to present the evolution of land occupation over time, relating social and natural constraints to the way civilisations have appropriated the land and transformed it to meet their needs. This CU will cover land occupation from the first nomadic groups to industrialisation. By becoming aware of the way in which different civilisations have used and transformed the territory at different times, students will become aware of the need to adapt space and, essentially, they will understand the importance of knowledge of the past, and respect for it, in the development of architectural activity.
• ProgramaProgramme

• ObjectivosObjectives

  The learning objectives are the understanding and historical framework of the phenomena of urbanisation and the consolidation of territorial occupation over time and the mechanisms associated with the transformation of the territory from the perspective of satisfying needs and using resources. The main objective is to develop analytical and synthesis skills that will equip students with a useful awareness of city-related design practice, using examples to identify situations to be avoided or consolidated (improved) and enabling them to use history as a memory for the development of their projects.

• MetodologiaMethodology

  Exploring the themes with concrete cases and carrying out practical work which, by involving the students in a real context, allows them to check the application and applicability of the subjects taught, seems to be a useful procedure for learning and consolidating the subject.
