Urban Design II

• ApresentaçãoPresentation

  DUII studies the design of urban space through the morphological elements of the city, considering historical strata, urban plans, and the dynamics of public spaces. It focuses on urbanism as a design practice that articulates architecture, public space, infrastructure, and urban landscape, promoting a critical reading of the contemporary city. It deepens methodologies for analyzing and representing the city, developing critical thinking about urban space and drawing skills on an urban scale, essential to the professional practice of the architect. It consolidates the articulation between architectural and urban design and reinforces the understanding of the city as a field of action for architecture. Teaching takes place in a studio environment, promoting drawing, discussion, and shared reflection on urban design.
• ProgramaProgramme

  CP1: Urbanism and the city as a historical process. CP2: The city as a cultural landscape (social, economic, and technical synthesis). CP3: City construction: formation, evolution, transformation, and urban models in diverse contexts. CP4: The city in Portugal: morphology and development models. CP5: Structuring elements: boundaries, roads, neighborhoods, and landmarks. CP6: Built space: block, lot, building, and facade. CP7: Urbanism and urban scale: relationship between architectural design, neighborhood, and city. CP8: Requalification and intervention strategies in consolidated urban fabrics. CP9: Green structure and principles of eco-urbanism. CP10: Urban forms, grids, and networks as a system. CP11: Urban landscape and perception of the city. CP12: Public space: typologies, uses, and configurations. CP13: Routes, permanence, and appropriations. CP14: Private space for public use. CP15: Urban plans: references, models and instruments
• ObjectivosObjectives

  O1: Develop experimental work in urban analysis and design in consolidated neighborhoods, applying diverse methodologies to understand, represent, and intervene in the neighborhood and the city. O2: Deepen knowledge about urban models and plans and the challenges of the contemporary city. O3: Read and interpret the city at different scales, based on the morphology, typologies, and structure of public space. O4: Understand the city through perception, documentary and cartographic information, valuing fieldwork and contact with the population. O5: Identify urban problems and potential for strategic interventions, distinguishing between urban design and urban planning and developing a critical attitude. O6: Develop drawing skills at an urban scale, exploring dwelling, scale, and the use of models. O7: Value the role of urban design in the regeneration and resolution of urban and social problems.

• MetodologiaMethodology

  M1: Theoretical and practical classes, articulating conceptual frameworks and application exercises based on Problem-Based Learning. M2: Practical classes dedicated to (re)designing and developing urban design projects. M3: Classes with phased presentations, analysis, critique, and group discussion, stimulating reflection. M4: Study visits, as fundamental moments of observation, recording, and reflection on urban space. M5: Autonomous work with guidance, carried out outside of class hours with support and defined work lines. M6: Tutoring and individual monitoring of students, adjusted to the specificities of each project and student. M7: Group work with guidance. M8: Work involving the creation of playful elements with programmatic content, such as typological maps; or the preparation of exhibitions of the work stimulates the student's creativity and dynamism. M9: Open class with specialists in the field of urbanism, followed by critical discussion;
