The general objective of the Bachelor¿s degree in Architecture is to be able to:

- READ (make out, understanding, find the meaning of, distinguish, recognise)
- DESCRIBE (represent, draw or follow)
- USE (join, combine, order) the basic components of architecture, with sensitivity and understanding of the  basic, long-term values which are at the heart of the discipline.

Architectural Project 1 achieves this general objective by way of an introduction. It covers the four primary dimensions of architecture: formality, usage, construction and context.

Contribution to the learning outcome reference framework:

Design a project

  • Sensibly bring together and develop natural and artificial environments (landscape, urban, buildings) within a framework of basic parameters
  • Express and prioritise the aims of the projects so as to be able to make choices
  • Understand, test and bring together the organisation of the space through an architectural project
  • Analyse, consider and invent architectural practices through drawings and models
  • Adopt approaches which are methodical, creative, metaphorical, perceptive, collaborative

Build knowledge of architecture

  • Be familiar with and understand written, drawn or built references which form the foundation of the discipline

Place the action

  • Observe, analyse and interpret the main components of the prevailing cultural situation. Show the potential of this situation through the impact of the architectural project
  • Recognise, observe and describe the targeted environments and contexts
  • Use the technical dimension
  • Be familiar with and recast technical and scientific knowledge of building so as to use it as a driver in designing architecture which is highly efficient and sustainable
  • Express an architectural procedure
  • Use traditional and artistic methods to explore, discover, design, reveal a reality, a design or a project

Adopt a professional attitude

  • Organise, plan, develop and bring together the different strands of individual work

Make committed choices

  • Understand the merits of an idea which can lead to the objectives to be achieved by the project ; follow through with determination, even by means of a modest intervention, the implementation of this idea and the achievement of these objectives
