This course suggests a historic journey of architecture from Greece to the 19th Century, stressing the most representative urban and architectural expressions of each moment in history. The main objective of this course is to offer in this journey through the chronology of history an approach to the principles of architecture, referring permanently to buildings as the center of all interest. At the same time, students carry out a workshop project based on the representation of a building or condomimium that is representative of one of the periods studied. This last point is a part of the integration strategies handled in the basic cycle of the program of architecture.

This History Workshop II carries on with the topic covered in the first semester up to the baroque period, and consists of the history of architecture from the 18th Century to the present time, stressing 20th Century architecture, and particularly the modern movement. The parallel workshop project is focused on the study of the architecture of different masters of modern architecture, with the proposal of a system of analysis by students, overcoming the problem of representation covered during the first history workshop in the program. Like in History Workshop 1, its relationship with the drawing workshop is a determining factor for the development of this program.

This course attempts to conduct an exploratory study of how, over time and space, based on a historic and interdisciplinary account, particular ideas and traditions have been shaped in the west as regards the house, the domestic aspect, and our forms of inhabiting the spaces built. The idea of inhabiting is as old as man himself, and since the ancient times, man has always had a home, which, over history and in accordance with the social changes of each period, has acquired particular characteristics. These characteristics that belong to or are relative to home, to the house, refer to the domestic aspect.

The objective of this course is to create an awareness in students that architecture exists in a world where everything has weight, dimension and moves. In order to do so, students must be capable of seeing, measuring and representing these conditions, for which they must use, on one hand, the scientific instruments covered at the same time in the Physics Workshop and, on the other, the technical principles covered in this course. In addition, the course aims to awaken a critical, reflective attitude in students as regards the problem of the construction of architecture, based on rigor and ethics. The course is taught by means of lectures and practical workshops.

As the continuation of Technical Workshop 1, this course attempts to bring students face to face with the study, measurement and representation of the natural elements: earth, sun, water and wind. Like the first course of the technical area from the basic cycle, the contents are articulated with those covered at the same time in the Physics Workshop and also attempt to encourage students to suggest actions to preserve the environment, by means of the careful, ethical exercise of their profession as architects. Like the first courses, the methodology is based on the teaching of short lectures, along with practical workshops to apply the concepts covered by the professors.

The city is one of the most important innovations in history. The objective of this course is focused on developing a critical view of the parallel evolution of ideas and techniques regarding the cases of cities and city systems in different phases of development. At the same time, it attempts to integrate referents from several disciplines to support the exploration of relationships between city planning and society based on associations that are raised in texts and cases from different times and areas of knowledge. This course stimulates an inquisitive attitude about technical history and urban history, with research projects that deal with the problem regarding the multiplicity of criteria.

Architectural form as a result of the conditions of use of the project. Developing an architectural space, internal or external, and defining its form in function of the conditions of use, implies considering the components of the program, their dimensions, the sequences of use of the space, the distribution or clustering systems and the environmental conditions and relationships, as a whole. In this course, students will carry out explorations on floor plans, cross sections, facades and volumetric, to try to find a proper solution to the requirements of the program, the place and for the intentions of the designer, based on systematic experimentation.

Architectural form as a result of the technical conditions of the project. This workshop defines a series of elements that make the composition and construction systems congruent, by means of designing exercises, thanks to their comprehensive conception, on the same level of design thought. In order to do so, certain principles that are typical of constructive logic are identified, stressing the coherent arrangement of the parts in accordance with a tectonic sequence. Construction systems evolve and constitute the foundation of the formal and functional changes of architecture during determinant historic periods. The logic of construction systems leads to the appearance of composition instruments that generate new design techniques to define form.

Architectural form as a result of the conditions of the location. In addition to the specific objective, the purpose of this workshop is to synthesize and evaluate the contents developed in the area of projects during the first half of the program of studies. The systematic review of the management of basic design techniques by the student is suggested as part of the methodology, while the course attempts to measure their proactive capacity. This workshop introduces the basic concepts of typology and morphology, understood as design instruments that allow architects to participate rationally in the city, simultaneously dealing with the conditions studied in previous workshops (use and tectonics) and the pre-existence of the location.

Project 1 has one weekly work session supervised by a group of professors from the Department of Architecture. These sessions also create a favorable atmosphere for exchange between students from different semesters, while they allow the group of professors to get to know about the workshops other than their own. These sessions enable the scheduling of conferences of shared interest to all the workshops and guarantee for students a physical space at the university to carry out their architectural projects. In this case, it corresponds to the workshops from the preparation cycle of the architecture program.

Architecture is a practice whose purpose is to make the earth inhabitable, by constructing useful, beautiful and comfortable spaces. This course attempts to inquire about the foundation of the practice of architecture. Asking about the foundation leads to the question of origin, and that is the framework where the course of archetypes in architecture is located. This reflection is carried out based on the responses that, at different moments in history, man has given to the questions about the origin of architecture and city. The fundamental objective of this course is to understand how our practices are determined by the cultural beliefs decanted over time, and at the same time, it is a mental exercise that proposes critical approaches to said images of the world.

The conventional history of architecture recognizes the existence of a unit in architectural and urban production throughout an extensive stage known as the classic period. The interpretation made by architecture of its own history, of its past, plays a central role in the definition of what is classic. The objective of this course is to familiarize students with the question about the foundation of the practice of architecture, on this occasion, students will examine the concept of what is classic, as an invariable thought throughout the history of architecture. This course, like that of Archetypes, disregards the chronological perspective of the topic and seeks its own logic, leading students to delve into the problem of the theory of Architecture.

This Architecture course establishes its beginnings in the mid 18th Century when the changes that came with the start of the industrial revolution became more and more powerful. These changes modified the form of architecture, the needs it had to satisfy and the relationship between architect and society. The relationships interweaved between the aspects of the new society as indicated earlier will be studied in this course starting with collective as well as private housing, constructed during the Modern Movement. This course provides students with a theoretic apparatus that will allow them to understand architecture today and lay the foundations to propose their own architecture.

Studying the proposed content includes wood properties to then determine the benefits that may be derived from its use in some architectural projects. All the explanations provided, whether theoretical, technical or scientific, represent what the body to some extent senses: wood is closer to human nature as compared with minerals, which are also used in living spaces. The aesthetic, environmental and technical attributes of wood as construction material have been well proved. To the extent that we encourage a design practice and construction with wood, being familiarized with the characteristics of the material, and guaranteeing its durability, we will be able to overcome the lack of trust associated with its usage, as it is considered a perishable material. At the same time, we will encourage the implementation of forest programs to benefit from natural resources while ensuring their renewable character.
