DESCRIPTION
The first semester consists in an approach to the cultural world of the project. We are going to talk, think and construct many items that constantly appear in the recreation of the new reality. It will be a work developed week by week.
Every week we create a round table formed with the students, the teacher, some invited architects or people involve in the contemporary construction of the culture of the project in order to discuss about architectural programs, social networks, contexts, materials, citizens, structures, construction, economy, history, city shape?, and architecture.
Every week appears new items to be discussed and, if it would be possible, a new expert voice to improve our consciences about the new understanding of our reality as students and as an architects.
We start the first week with one question over the table; what kind of architect do we want to become? Every student has to take a position and construct a discourse above the item discussed during the week.
We work with architectural expression tools and instruments of the cultural architectural project: drawings, models, performances, video, actions, etc, in order to present one approach to the intelligent reality of the city.
The first day, after the individual presentation, we will start working in groups of five students to construct and defend our arguments. Working in group is a way to implement our knowledge; we do not have to reach a consensus, we have to create a new object with all the ideas and drawings of the students in the group
Course will consist of 60 hrs of in class work and 90 hrs of independent work outside the classroom.
