Project III

Architecture
  • ApresentaçãoPresentation
    The Project III course focuses on developing critical thinking essential to the practice of architecture and the development of an architectural project. It aims to develop tools for developing projects in different contexts and conditions, always considering the living space. The course aims to provide a studio environment for drawing and discussion between students and teachers on the different subject areas that converge in the project. The theme for the first semester of the second year of Design is based on the topic: ‘Domestic space and housing. Design: thought, drawing and space’. Thus, in terms of thematic approach, in the 1st semester of the 2nd year, the aim is to focus on the design process based on thinking and criticism (observation and analysis), design (process) and space (scale, form and structure).
  • ProgramaProgramme
    The programme content aims to achieve the proposed objectives in line with the ability to design based on thinking and criticism (observation and analysis), drawing (process) and space (scale, form and structure). In terms of the programme, it addresses domestic space and housing. Exercise 1 consists of designing a small housing module based on research and investigation into living and the characteristics of domestic space. It is proposed that the module should integrate a specific urban space to be defined by the student. Exercise 2 consists of designing a housing building in the centre of Portimão for a specific client, which requires the definition and organisation of the space to be designed and allows for the exploration of different types of housing in a consolidated urban context. The study of the urban context is proposed.
  • ObjectivosObjectives
    The objectives of the CU are: To develop the ability to design based on thinking and criticism (observation and analysis), drawing (process) and space (scale, form and structure). To explore the notions of living space, in buildings and in the context of the city. To develop notions of scale. To develop the fundamentals of technical drawing. To develop the creation of models as a design tool. Learn about basic construction techniques and materials. Learn about and study notable examples of architecture. Understand the importance of the role of architecture in society in various areas: social, economic, cultural, environmental and in the quality of life of citizens, both in the context of inhabiting private space (the home) and in the context of inhabiting public or collective space, which encompasses a wide variety of programmes. Understand the capacity of architecture to function as a regenerative element of the urban fabric and to solve problems in society and the city.

  • MetodologiaMethodology
    In addition to communication through drawing (free and rigorous) and graphic pieces of different types, in terms of representation, in the first semester the project will be developed at the Preliminary Study level. The methodology consists of quick exercises in class to stimulate creativity, and two main exercises that address the different program contents related to “DOMESTIC SPACE and HOUSING.” Work developed under theoretical and practical guidance An interdisciplinary approach is developed in the monitoring of the work, using architectural tools. A study visit is promoted. Work phases: 1 Analysis, research, and concept: sketches; diagrams (geometrization; volumetrics; uses); photos. 2 Study and evolution of the base proposal: proposal drawings; references. 3 Final project and pieces: drawing (plans, sections, elevations); 3D visualization; model; descriptive report.
