Architectural context and architectural language. Scale, proportion, architectural elements and graphic analysis. Volumes and three-dimensional model. Composition and intention. Architectural references. Introduction to project practice.

Analysis and design of residential architectural space. Study of shape and volume. Dwelling, living. Being, resting, producing, recreating within the scope of the residence. Organization and structuring of space on the housing scale. Study of the relationship between the residential building and the site and surroundings, observing physical, typological characteristics, proportion and scale. Flows, circulation and connections in internal environments and between them and external environments. Continuity of studies carried out in Introduction to the Project (ARQ1101), deepening aspects such as: study of form and volume, analysis of architectural space, organization and structuring of space. The study of spatial relationships and proportions between sectors, environments and the exterior space of a residence. The study of the dimensioning of residential space, sectors and environments, through the critical and concrete use of space and furniture through the analysis of real examples visited, survey and recognition of the living spaces themselves and encouraging each student to search for these notions. The relationships between the architectural object and the site and immediate surroundings, observing typology, proportion, scale and physical characteristics, solar orientation, topography, existence of watercourses, vegetation, neighboring buildings, among others. Notions of design methodology and timeline for evolution. Initial notions of structure.

City, history and architectural memory. From restoration to conservation, preservation and recovery of historical-cultural heritage. Notions of architectural restoration. Refunctionalization and reuse of architectural spaces and underused buildings. Recycling in construction elements. Compatibility of new construction techniques and new materials with traditional techniques and materials. The recovery of historic centers. The Revitalization and Reuse Project addresses spaces of symbolic and historical importance in the city with the possibility of being used for uses appropriate to the present time. Checks the possibility of increasing the value of an area through intervention in a building in poor condition or abandoned. Various programs are studied focusing on the confrontation and integration between historical and contemporary compositional elements. The analysis of the action of time on the architectural object, on its transformation and adaptation to the current reality is carried out with a view to both preservation and renewal.

Graphic thinking as a communication process: graphic thinking applied to architecture. Introduction to projection systems: orthographic, oblique and conical; orthographic projection: plans, sections and elevations. Representation scales and graphic conventions linked to the stages of the architectural project. Instruments, drawing techniques and representation standards.
