Urban Design I

• ApresentaçãoPresentation

  DUI focuses on the study of urban space design through the morphological elements of the city, also considering the city's historical strata, urban plans and the different dynamics of public spaces. DUI frames urbanism as a multidisciplinary discipline and uses urban methodological tools, considering the systemic notion of urban context. DUI integrates the contents of urban design, in different territorial and historical contexts, inherent to the training and practice of the architect. DUI focuses on developing critical thinking in relation to urban space and developing design tools on an urban scale. The course aims to provide a studio environment for design and discussion between students and teachers on different topics related to city design. In terms of thematic approach, the first semester aims to revisit a 20th-century neighbourhood, focusing on the collection, analysis and study of its characteristics: the city, neighbourhood by neighbourhood.
• ProgramaProgramme

  First semester aims to revisit Pontal Bairro, focusing on the collection, analysis and study of 20th-century neighbourhoods, with an exercise entitled: ‘The city, neighbourhood by neighbourhood. Urban design’. The syllabus includes: Urban planning and the city as historical process The city as a cultural landscape (social, economic and technical synthesis) The construction of the city: formation, evolution, transformation and urban models The city in Portugal: morphology and models Urban regeneration Urban planning and the urban scale Structural elements and units of the city: boundaries, roads, neighbourhoods, intersections and landmarks The built environment: block, plot, building and façade; the detached building Green structure and eco-urbanism Urban forms, grids and networks (system) Urban landscape and perceptible elements Public space: beyond the street and the square Public space: routes and permanence. Uses of space: private space for public use National and international urban plans.
• ObjectivosObjectives

  Develop experimental urban analysis work based on established neighbourhoods, exploring methodologies of knowledge, representation and intervention. Study the main urban models in urban planning history. Learn to read and interpret the city through urban morphology and building typology. Understand the city through perception (sensory, analogical), information (documentary, human) and cartography (design and legislation). Value fieldwork, documentary research and data collection from population. Distinguish between Urban Design and Urban Planning. Exercise critical thinking on urban issues and identify opportunities for strategic intervention. Develop the ability to design on an urban scale and the fundamentals of technical design and model making. Explore the notions of living space in the city context. Understand the relevance of urban design as an urban regenerator and an instrument for social, economic, cultural, environmental and quality of life improvement in the collective space.

• MetodologiaMethodology

  ¿Communication through drawing (free and rigorous) and diverse graphic pieces. In the first semester: development of analytical skills in DU, exploring models of representation. Study visits, in groups or individually. Quick exercises in class to stimulate creativity. Main exercise: Revisiting the Pontal neighbourhood with a focus on collecting, analysing and studying 20th-century neighbourhoods. Theoretical-practical guided work, with an interdisciplinary approach integrating architecture and urbanism. Development of an urban study in three phases: Survey, analysis and characterisation, with different scales of approximation and focus on the neighbourhood. Comparative analysis, relating national and international models. Study and critical analysis, with mapping, issues and hypotheses of urban (re)design. The analysis should be developed, like a proposal, as a field of methodological experimentation and representation.
