Objectives

It is intended that students, in terms of knowledge, skills and competences, be capable of:

Knowledge:
   Have a solid and comprehensive architectural and urban culture;
   Know the methodologies of the project;
   To know the materials and the constructive systems, as well as the physical phenomena related to its performance and its degradation;
  
To know the aspects related to the infrastructure of the territory, the city and the constructions;
  
Know the normative structures of construction and urbanism.

Aptitudes:
    
Have a domain of representation and communication of ideas, spaces and forms;
    
Have the capacity for analysis and synthesis, as well as coordinate and organize;
    
Recognize the ethical and aesthetic dimensions underlying the building and the humanized territory;
    
To recognize the morphology and the natural physical environment, integrating them in the readings and the proposals of creation and transformation of the territory, the cities and the constructions;
    
Determine functional and architectural performance properties of constructive solutions;
    
To use digital tools for the production, management and representation of architecture and the city, integrating them both in the development of the project, and in the collection and systematization of data on the project itself and the built reality.

Skills:
    
Develop a progressive methodological and conceptual autonomy;
    
Develop capacity to integrate and lead multidisciplinary work environments;
    
To conceive architecture projects, in their various scales of intervention, that equate critically the ethical, aesthetic, functional and technological dimensions of contemporaneity.


The learning goals are implemented in the curricular plan within the various CUs through their processes of teaching and learning, furthering the objectives of the programme. The fulfillment of these objectives if affirmed in the various processes of evaluation for each course. This measure depends on the CU and the specific content for evaluation, as well as the potential for final numerical classification.

To train architects for disciplinary work leading towards the (re)creation, (re)organization and (re)signification of the physical space of society and its individuals, this program fosters in students an architectural way of thinking with artistic, social, and technological dimensions, in which science and technique combine into poetic and ethic thought.

It is intended that students:

    Experiment, represent and communicate ideas, spaces and forms, framed in the methodology of the project and in the architectural and urban culture, as well as contextualized in the urban phenomena and the organization of the territory, real and current;
    Know the materials and the constructive and functional systems, as well as the ecological demands of contemporaneity, integrating them in the architectural thinking;
    Use traditional and innovative production and design methodologies and tools, exploring emerging digital instruments, prioritizing rigor and knowledge for a critical positioning in relation to the conditions of the profession.
