Project V

Architecture
  • ApresentaçãoPresentation
    The work in Project V will consolidate students’ knowledge of Architecture, building on previous approaches and reinforcing their preparation and motivation to enter the 2nd Cycle of MIA. Education, particularly that of the future architect, is an opportunity to learn to see and transform the world into something habitable. Students shall be guided so that individuality becomes a mental exercise, grounded in thought and systemic critique. Although each project has its own specific and often unpredictable character, it is possible to cultivate thinking and provide tools to meet disciplinary challenges. What is already known must be acknowledged, and attention given to how that knowledge can be used. Architecture will remain understood not as a discipline closed in upon itself, but as a way of mobilising multiple dimensions of human knowledge.
  • ProgramaProgramme
    The syllabus has been designed to meet the stated objectives, following a logic of progressivity, diversity, and increasing complexity. Exercises are proposed so that work inevitably engages with the three objectives, guiding students in this methodology. Tasks may be spontaneous and short or more structured and extended, across different types and scales, always stimulating creativity and reflection while integrating an awareness of construction knowledge as a core competence. Students will also be encouraged to develop a personal and structured design language aligned with project principles. Complementary components include:   - Case studies of notable architecture - Fundamentals of technical drawing - Construction materials, their expressiveness and behaviour - Basic construction techniques and systems
  • ObjectivosObjectives
    The course's objectives align with expectations for developing spatial perception and design techniques introduced in previous years. Students will be encouraged to challenge preconceived ideas of any kind, while a free and critical spirit is preserved and stimulated. Work will focus on the concomitant exercise of awareness and language. Basic notions of construction will remain present, supporting the creative process. The aim is for students to develop attentiveness, critical sense, and clarity of expression, both for self-understanding and communication with others. They should cultivate aesthetic awareness and a critical and ethical sense of the profession. The main objective is the education of the architect-as-subject. Three generic objectives structure the process: To know how to Research (analysis and history) To know how to Design (strategy and construction) To know how to Communicate (representation and presentation)

  • MetodologiaMethodology
    The more theoretical classes will complement the practical work, stimulating students’ creativity and culture through the presentation of reference works, authors, and themes related to the exercise programme. Practical classes will follow a tutorial format, open to public discussion. A series of exercises will be introduced, developed individually or in groups, guided by the dynamics of the class and each student’s interests. Weekly debates and meetings, where the previous week’s work is presented, will take place collectively and must be carefully prepared by students. Complementary independent work, inside or outside the classroom, is also expected. Each exercise entails learning in research, construction, and communication, structured in phases of development and presentation.
