PRESENTATION:

The analytical capacity of the model is valued, the expressive synthesis that can make it a skillful instrument of knowledge of the complex network of ideas that underlies the shape of the design or architectural object.
The practice in the construction of objects is accompanied by a theoretical journey through different procedures for making models in the world of Architecture and Design in recent decades, also linking the execution of models with those of other contemporary artistic objects.
The student will be instructed in the existing material possibilities for the elaboration of models and their relationship with contemporary construction materials, as well as in the knowledge and use of the appropriate tools for each material.

PRE-REQUISITES:

NOTE: Students must attend to the course with the sole exception of repeating students who are also enrolled in other courses that take place simultaneously. Students in this situation must attend to the newly enrolled one yet they are compelled to keep their tasks updated and comply with any planned deadline. Additionally, they should inform the teacher about their situation, should they need to make any adjustments on their schedule.

SUBJECT PROGRAMME:

Subject contents:

1 - Function and creative methodology

2 - Materials, tools and workplace

3 - Techniques

4 - History of the working model and prototypes

5 - 3D Printing

Subject planning could be modified due unforeseen circumstances (group performance, availability of resources, changes to academic calendar etc.) and should not, therefore, be considered to be definitive.

TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODOLOGIES AND ACTIVITIES:

Teaching and learning methodologies and activities applied:

This is an eminently practical subject in which the lectures and the theory of innovation will be combined throughout the semester, but the dynamics of most of the course will be a combination of studies / case studies and workshops with frequent individualized corrections and a final crit.

Another pillar of the subject will be the corrections between students oriented to the students to analyze and value the work among them. In order to encourage cooperative work and make an activity closer to reality, it will be encouraged that the work can be developed in groups depending on the total number of students.

Each type of sessions, work and activities are designed for the development of the competences that the student must acquire in the course. The most important recommendations made to students can be summarized in the following scheme:

_ Attendance to the theoretical sessions in a participatory and critical way.

_Complement the topics covered in these sessions with the information offered in the bibliography or commented in class.

_Use, at any time, tutorial sessions to resolve any doubt or problem.

_ Begin performing practical tasks without postponing them too early.

_Resolve the difficulties encountered with colleagues.

_Search, research, propose.

_Use the PDU for this collaboration and teacher participation is considered important.
