Main themes
The method of learning is a progressive one, using areas where the topic to observe or imagine mostly develops from the simplest level to the most complex, but also is repeated. The main topics for analysis are architectural, urban and landscape spaces.  Apart from repeated testing of tools and their relevance, and the acquisition of basic skills in material practice and practice of doing a project, students gain greater awareness and memory through observation and analysis as well as individual experience of different media.
This teaching unit introduces students to questions relating to space, its characteristics and the properties of architecture made tangible through representation.
