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

  CP1: Urbanism and the city as historical, social, economic, cultural, and technical processes. CP2: The city as a cultural landscape and a synthesis of the relationships between society, economy, technology, and territory. CP3: The construction of the city: formation, evolution, transformation, and urban models. CP4: The city in Portugal: morphologies and urban development models. CP5: The urban scale and structuring elements: boundaries, thoroughfares, neighbourhoods, intersections, and landmarks. CP6: Urban forms, grids, and networks as city organization systems. CP7: Built space: city block, plot, building, façade, and freestanding building. CP8: The urban landscape, perception, and the identity of place. CP9: Green infrastructure, eco-urbanism, and urban sustainability. CP10: Public space: streets, squares, routes, areas for lingering, and uses. CP11: Private spaces for public use and urban appropriation. CP12: Urban regeneration and national and international urban plans.
• ObjectivosObjectives

  O1: Develop a critical understanding of Urban Design and distinguish it from Urban Planning. O2: Familiarize oneself with key urban models in the history of Urbanism. O3: Learn to read and interpret the city through urban morphology and building typology. O4: Explore methodologies for analysis, representation, and intervention in established neighbourhoods. O5: Understand the city through perception, documentary and human information, and cartography. O6: Value fieldwork, documentary research, and data collection from the local population. O7: Develop skills in representation and design at the urban scale, including technical drawing and physical modelling. O8: Explore the relationships between housing, public space, land use, mobility, and urban appropriation. O9: Develop a critical attitude toward identifying problems and opportunities for strategic intervention. O10: Understand Urban Design as a tool for urban regeneration and the improvement of quality of life.

• MetodologiaMethodology

  M1: Project-based learning centered on the critical re-examination of a 20th-century neighborhood. M2: Interdisciplinary, theory-and-practice-based teaching, integrating architecture, urban planning, and landscape. M3: Communication through freehand and precise drawing, as well as diverse graphic materials. M4: Rapid in-class drawing and analysis exercises to foster creativity and experimentation. M5: Individual and group field trips to encourage direct observation of the site. M6: Urban study in three phases: survey and characterization; comparative analysis; and critical study involving mapping and redesign hypotheses. M7: Fieldwork, documentary research, and data collection from local populations. M8: Experimentation with various scales, analysis methods, and forms of representation. M9: Collaborative learning featuring presentations, critical debate, tutorial guidance, and formative assessment. M10: Integration of cartography, drawing, photography, physical modeling, and digital tools.
