History of Architecture I

Architecture
  • ApresentaçãoPresentation
    This CU will address as themes the various manifestations of Prehistoric architecture, Oriental, pré-classical Antiquity and Greco-Roman Antiquity. Like the other disciplines of History of Architecture, it aims, beyond the scope itself, to constitute a conceptual and instrumental basis for the design disciplines. The understanding of architecture in history will be fundamental, both to formulate new proposals and to intervene on what is already built. The present CU also intends to be a contribution for the student to look at architecture through the human and the poetic.

  • MetodologiaMethodology
    Each theme to be developed should be framed within the intellectual and cultural context, in general, and the artistic one, in particular. Drawing will be used as it provides a better understanding of the architectural object and is a fundamental instrument in the formulation of its synthesis. Writng will also be used to describe the observed architeectural object.  The specific vocabulary of each moment of history is thought of as a means of relating the architectural object to the respective constructive methods, materials, meanings, etc. Abstracting from language and other constraints specific to 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 current discourse.
