Class Architectural Design I

The curricular unit of Architectural Design I, lasting one semester, consists of theoretical-practical classes, lasting 5 hours per week. Given the current state of the pandemic in which we find ourselves, half of the expected teaching hours will be taught in person, in the classroom, and the rest in the distance learning system (e-learning). Among the several objectives to be achieved, it is intended: To bring the student of architecture closer to the practice of the sketch configured as a creative process, referencing drawing as a way of thinking and communicating; explore the domain of architectural space through the representation of the object in its various dimensions; start the process of formalizing an author's language.
