Theoretical-practical sessions in the classroom, supported by the display of images, with discussion on the topics covered in practical classes or monitoring the preparation of exercises, in which the relationship of disciplinary contents is promoted, and the relevance of the themes covered in reference to the methodologies used. It is understood that it is essential that students have access to various ways of processing the information made available by the Curricular Unit Syllabus with great emphasis on the possibility of experimentation and development of autonomy. The encouragement to promote activities outside the classroom stands out, with thematic trips, study visits within the scope of the program's subjects, as well as the search for complementary activities related to the issues in focus in the world in the studied period and the way in which architecture impacts or is impacted by it.
