Constructions I

Architecture
  • ApresentaçãoPresentation
    Constructions 01 - Tectonic Architecture introduces architecture as a built reality, focusing on constitutive and constructive elements and the relationships between matter, technique and space. Through analytical redrawing of case studies, students examine spatial organisation, structure, infrastructure, materiality and construction systems. The work develops through successive scales of approximation, using technical drawing, diagrams and physical models. The Extended Digital Brief in PDF format is an integral part of this FUC.
  • ProgramaProgramme
    P1 - Tectonic architecture: formal intention, structural logic and materiality. P2 - Constitutive and constructive matter: stone, brick, steel, concrete and timber. P3 - Building analysis: functional organisation, served and servant spaces, flows, structure, infrastructure and matter. P4 - Constitutive and constructive elements: floors, walls, roofs, openings, joints and stereotomy. P5 - Representation: technical drawing, diagrams, models, axonometric section and detailing. P6 - Technical vocabulary of construction.
  • ObjectivosObjectives
    O1 - Recognise and understand the constitutive and constructive elements of architecture, distinguishing constitutive and constructive matter. O2 - Develop skills in observing, analysing, interpreting and representing existing buildings, identifying functional organisation, served and servant spaces, structure, infrastructure, matter and construction systems. O3 - Understand the tectonic dimension of architecture, relating formal intention, structural logic and materiality, and communicate these readings rigorously through graphic, three-dimensional and technical means.

  • MetodologiaMethodology
    M1 - Theoretical sessions on tectonics, matter, and constitutive and constructive elements. M2 - Analytical redrawing and diagrams of case studies. M3 - Physical models as tools for three-dimensional analysis. M4 - Progressive approach through scales, from the building to the construction detail. M5 - Workshop sessions, supervised classroom work, presentations, and individual and collective discussion. M6 - Course blog as a shared repository of contents, references, processes and results, promoting continuity between classroom and autonomous work.
