Project VII

Architecture
  • ApresentaçãoPresentation
    The course "Project 07" marks the beginning of the final two-year journey of the second cycle of the Integrated Master's in Architecture (MIA), building on the knowledge acquired during the first cycle, particularly regarding the ability to critically interpret architecture as part of the methodological process and the use of project tools (manual, digital, and three-dimensional representation) necessary for the development of the exercise proposed in the first semester, which focuses on a school infrastructure and a student residence. This course's approach to the project increases the level of difficulty compared to the undergraduate program, requiring students to incorporate into their project methodology the current regulations, bioclimatic concepts, and energy efficiency. It also introduces notions of environmental regeneration to mitigate the impact of construction, addressing the challenges posed by climate change.
  • ProgramaProgramme
    The first semester program of the 4th year focuses on developing a project for a university building (Faculty of Architecture) for a maximum of 250 students and a university residence for 100 users, located in Portimão. The project should explore the relationship between the proposal and the built environment, the public and private realms, as well as the internal relationship between work (study) spaces and the necessary services for its functioning. Emphasis will also be placed on the necessary infrastructures and their operation, taking the project beyond carbon neutrality. The exercise will be divided into three stages: Analysis of case studies and the site, using representation tools such as drawing (CAD) and three-dimensional representation (physical model at 1:500 scale), and the construction of a base program; Development of the urban and architectural project, at a 1:200 scale; Development of the architectural project (base project), at a 1:100 scale.
  • ObjectivosObjectives
    Building on the knowledge acquired in understanding the territory, its history, and its climatic conditions, while adding notions of urban ecology, the aim is to strengthen and improve the individual methodology developed during the first cycle of studies. This begins with the construction of an idea through research and critique, using the discipline's specific tools (drawing and models), and concludes with the representation of the proposed educational complex at the licensing level.

  • MetodologiaMethodology
    The methodology to be consolidated and applied is based on Argan's idea that architectural design develops through knowledge and critical analysis, which in turn inform the imagination. The tools chosen for the (de)coding of space are: manual and/or digital drawing; physical study models and a final model. To support this course, a blog will be developed, ensuring that information remains accessible to all, promoting interaction and access to the theoretical and practical content provided throughout the semester.
