Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Implement an engineering approach dealing with a set problem taking into account technical, economic and environmental constraints
• Design, evaluate and optimise solutions addressing the problem
• Implement a chosen solution in the form of a drawing, a schema, a plan, a model, a prototype, software and/or digital model
• Communicate the approach, results and prospects to a project owner or a board
• Identify and acquire the information and skills needed to solve the problem
• Complete an architecture project, individually or as part of a team
• Analyse and characterise complex problems in the field of architecture by adopting a scientific, heuristic, hermeneutic, systemic and transdisciplinary approach which integrates ethical, cultural, human, economic, technological and environmental contexts and issues
• Use the principles and tools of planning (time, tasks and resources)
• Ensure a project is tracked and documented according to its specifications
• Adapt the approach and achievements taking into account the feedback received
• Respect deadlines and timescales
• Collaborate, work in a team

• Use several methods of written and graphic communication: text, tables, equations, sketches, maps, graphs, etc.
• Give an effective oral presentation, using presentation materials appropriately
• Present analysis or experiment results in laboratory reports
• Demonstrate thoroughness and independence throughout their studies

Learning Outcomes of UE

- To be able to design collective housing for today and tomorrow, taking into account the mixed needs of our society.
- Be able to design innovative housing typologies: shared housing, transgenerational housing, kangaroo housing, mixed housing with shared services, also integrating shared spaces and service functions.  
- Be aware of the influence of the carrier system on the architecture. 
- Be able to design the wireframe diagram for the transfer of loads present in a building. 

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

The teaching unit consists of the architecture project 4 - collective housing - and the structural design course which introduces the first considerations concerning the stability of constructions.
