Experimentation based on the concepts of prefabrication, digital manufacturing and self-construction, in which components produced in a factory are assembled on site by unskilled labor. Execution of drawings and models as tools for approaching prefabricated elements and assembled work. Manufacture and assembly of a work designed and developed collectively, based on experiments carried outs.

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.

Individual work. Planning and development of a project relating to one of the areas of architecture and/or urbanism, or development of research work of a theoretical or experimental nature, under the supervision of a faculty advisor. Presentation and defense of the final project.
