Syllabus Information

5.1. Methodological overview

The orientation of the subject is eminently practical, so the activities being proposed both in the hours, mainly hours of workshop, and outside them are practices directly related to the analysis of architectural forms and the ability to present and represent objects or spaces. Be attached to the start of the semester, the calendar of activities. Activities that relate to the analysis of urban public spaces, or buildings may be substituted for other locations or similar buildings, according to the needs of the course or other external factors, permissions, rain, external practical budgetary availability.

5.2. Learning tasks

-An initial introduction to architectural analysis module, where is provide for the following activities:

-Theoretical sessions: teach the student, examples where is represented the building architectural, taking an approximation of the representation of architectural or urban development, elements through its plants, elevations, sections, drawings of locations etc. Solved examples of how architecture is represented through their planes will be displayed to students.

In the second module, will deepen the analysis of architectural forms with the following activities:

-the theoretical sessions: will show examples of analyses of small complete buildings, increasing the level of quality and complexity of drawing (sketch and delineated), teaching conventions or common graphics code in architectural representation, analysis will delve deeply into aspects as :

- Analysis of context-spatial analysis-formal-functional analysis-constructive analysis.-practical sessions: will develop the topics discussed in theoretical sessions, closely tutorizadas by the teachers, to carry out these works take a building or architectural complex nearby, so that students take their data and analyze a building that have been able to visit with relative ease.

There are various proposals such as: public library of Aragon, the library of the Faculty of Economics, etc.; cannot be ruled out the possibility of an external practice, in order to improve the architectural quality of the example taken up, as the flag of Germany at the Barcelona exhibition of 1929 the architect Mies Van der Rohe among others, but these activities will depend on close visit, resources, etc. programming.

 -In the third and last block, there are the following activities:

-Theoretical sessions: will show examples of analysis of complete buildings, masterpieces of modern architecture, where he will be trained and will analyze works of architects such as: Frank Lloid Writgh, Le Corbusier, L. Mies Van der Rohe, Alvar Aalto and Arne Jacobsen, works that students may not know more than by the graphic documentation and explanations provided by different teachers participating in these sessions. In this last phase, is intended to the student to analyze architectural forms through graphical documents, so it will be participation programmed course in the library, for first course, explaining the more convenient system for finding resources-practical sessions: will develop the topics explained in the theoretical, analyzing sessions, each student, one of the masterpieces of architecture documenting it and generating new resources, both two-dimensional and three-dimensional.
