1.1. Aims of the course
The subject and its expected results respond to the following approaches and objectives:
Approach of the subject
The theoretical classes are taught on Mondays, divided into theoretical sessions (1 hour) and problems (1 hour) in which the teacher with the help of technical and computer media exposes the dihedral system, bounded representation and projective geometry, explaining the theoretical knowledge of the system, teaching the use of the tools to solve practical cases, such as the change of plane, the turn or the descent and also solve general practical cases. This theoretical session is complemented with the practical classes of proposed exercises, which are seen in class, in a personalized way and adapted to the level of learning shown at each moment by the student.
Objectives
To be able to:
- Develop and interpret adequately the integral graphic documentation of the execution projects of buildings and actions on the territory, in what refers to spatial configurations.
- Express yourself graphically in the representation systems that are universally used in the field of building and territorial actions.
- Learn to accurately represent two-dimensional projections, objects that have three.
- Deduce from the two-dimensional representation of objects, their forms, measurements and positions relative to space.
- Apply this knowledge to the representation of architectural forms.
- Develop the spatial vision-understanding capacity necessary for the architect's profession.
- Enable for the representation of the shapes, location, measurements and two-dimensional proportions of objects in space.
- Empower the proper interpretation of graphic documentation relating to an architectural project, in terms of plants, elevations and sections.
As a basic course, no Sustainable Development Goals related to the 2030 Agenda are specifically included. However, the contents of the course are essential to support the subsequent knowledge of the rest of the degree, which do relate more directly to the SDGs and the 2030 Agenda.
1.2. Context and importance of this course in the degree
Architectural Graphic Expression I 1 is located in the context of the first year of the degree in architecture; it is a basic subject course, where general knowledge comparable to other degrees of the branch (Architecture, Engineering) is fully or partially acquired whose general contents are fully or partially shared with other technical studies (Engineering). The subject includes basic and classic themes of graphic expression: descriptive geometry, which in turn is related in vertical, with EGA 3 and Mathematics, is also related horizontally, with the subject of EGA 2 and EGA 4. The disciplinary object of the course, descriptive geometry, is in turn related to other courses of the degree in architecture such as: Mathematics, EGA 3, EGA 2, EGA 4. It contributes to the development of mental structuring for spatial vision and, through the representation systems, it constitutes the basis of the architectural graphic representation.
1.3. Recommendations to take this course
No specific recommendations are made, except to have the appropriate technical drawing equipment.
In the subject the representation systems are studied, the basis for understanding the architectural graphic representation, also for the content in geometry contributes to the development of mental structuring to obtain spatial vision.
2.1. Competences
Attending to the card of the degree approved by ANECA the competences that the student must acquire in the subject are the following:
- Understand the relationships between people and buildings and between buildings and their surroundings, as well as the need to relate buildings and spaces located between them according to needs and the human scale.C.G.G.7.

- Adequate knowledge and applied to the architecture and urbanism of: The bases of topography, hypsometry and cartography and land modification techniques. EC. 9.O
2.2. Learning goals
The student, to overcome this subject, must demonstrate the following results:
- Describe and interpret the different systems of spatial representation: dihedral, conical, axonometric and bounded system.
- Apply the necessary methodology to solve projective geometry problems of two-dimensional representation.
- Analyze the resolution of roofs and terrains proposed in a limited system, such as intersections, meetings, clearings and embankments.
- Identify the nomenclature and simple elements used in the dihedral system: point, line and plane.
- Classify the types of operations to solve problems on perpendicularity, parallelism, intersections, turns, abatements and plane changes in the dihedral system.
- Demonstrate the spatial representation in the dihedral system, by solving the problems of intersections of complex figures and shadows, such as the one that throws one body on another.
2.3. Importance of learning goals
The importance lies in its contribution, as a basic training, to the abstract vision basic training, for the vision of abstract form of architectural forms.
3. Assessment (1st and 2nd call)
3.1. Assessment tasks (description of tasks, marking system and assessment criteria)
The student must demonstrate that he has achieved the expected learning outcomes through the following assessment activities. You Each student can choose to follow the continuous evaluation or the global evaluation.
Continuous evaluation:
To pass by course it is necessary to approve the planned partial evaluation. The grade of the evaluation will be the average of the scoring practices (20% 10%), the partial exam (10% 20%) and the final exam (70%).
- Scoring practices: They will be held twice a week, one in the classroom and the other outside of school hours. In order to score, they must be delivered promptly, except for duly justified reasons. exercises to be carried out during school hours and outside school hours, weekly. Attendance at all practices and delivery of all proposed works is mandatory at the end of the session. Non-attendance at any of the sessions must be duly justified. In that case, the work corresponding to that session must be recovered outside of school hours and delivered in the following weeks (in any case before the final test).
- Partial exam: An intermediate test will be held in order to assess the knowledge and skills acquired by the student so far. In order to maintain continuous evaluation, a grade over 4 must be obtained in this test.
- Final exam: will have a variable number of exercises, between 4 and 6. The assessment contemplates the correct data input data of the exercise will be assessed, the solution mechanisms adopted, the completion of the different parts requested for resolution, the precision in the drawing, the cleaning in the sheet and the lineweights used evaluation of the line in the process. The contribution of each exercise to the mark will be specified will be noted the assessment of each exercise, which all exercises will be resolved in sheets provided by the teacher. , the presentation or reading of the test implies that the student has submitted to the subject.To average with the scoring practices and the partial exam, it is required that the average score of both is> = 4. The test will take place on the date established by the EINA for assessment.
Requirements to maintain the continuous evaluation: It is necessary to deliver all the practices in time, as well as the performance of the partial exam. Obtain an average score of> = 4 in the practices and the partial exam.
Overall evaluation:
For those who have not followed the course, they have there is the possibility to take a final exam. It will be carried out simultaneously with the final exam and may consist, partially or totally, of the same exercises.
The final exam will consist of the same questions as the continuous assessment and an extra exercise that will replace the practices. An average of> = 5 is required to pass the test.
The extraordinary exam of September will be of the same characteristics. The grade of the scoring practices and the partial exam for those who have followed the course will be maintained.
