Upon completion of this course, students will be acquainted with some of the most relevant types of sustainable constructions available in our context, in order to develop critical judgment to select appropriate techniques, systems, and materials for the specific conditions of a project, from its conception to its use, contributing to reduce the environmental impact that the buildings have on their surroundings.

Understand the process, training and business administration from design, taking the development of a project from its source until the completion of the process of preconstrucción, covering the search for potential customers, sustainable; constructive feasibility as well as the preparation process to embrace in the architectural design market.

The aim of this course is to analyze Mexican architecture as an expression of a people's sense of identity. Upon completion, students will have become acquainted with prehispanic architecture, the architecture of feudal New Spain, the European architectural models recreated in New Spain, and in independent Mexico, from revolutionary Mexico to the new Mexican state.

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to compare architectural restoration and preservation techniques, including buildings that are considered historical monuments, as well as recycling and adaptation options for old buildings in order to apply documentation techniques and feasibility studies as a tool in these processes.

By the end of this course the students will be able to learn about and understand spatial, formal, and tectonic transformations of Mexican architecture within its geographic and social - historical - cultural contexts, connecting it with the inheritance that defines the identity of Latin-American nations, in order to develop a critical judgment about the different architectural events that took place both in Mexico and Latin America.

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to describe the historical, social, cultural, and economic phenomena that have an impact on urban morphology and city sustainability, communities and urban districts; explaining the role played by the municipality, developers, communities, architects and urban planners, in order to comprehend and create critical judgment about urban growth and development, through a theoretical analysis and case studies.

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to apply the fundamental principles and regulations to be used for the installations, lighting systems, hydraulic, sanitary, and electricity equipment of commercial and institutional constructions, meeting the technical criteria for systems, installations, and equipment for environmental control in buildings: cooling, heating, plumbing, lifts, and sewage systems, and a diversity of renewable energy sources, in order to identify and select the best possible installations for the architectural design and construction project.

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to apply theoretical knowledge and design abilities to the development of an architectural project of high programmatic complexity, with a strong influence of the urban context, in order to develop critical judgment and the capacity to explore and innovate through the architectural proposal, without overlooking the research, application, and implications of aspects such as the structural criteria, materials technology, and energy efficiency.

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to identify the logical-expressive tools and methods applied to space representation processes as well as to processes used to represent basic architectural objects, from the inception of an idea until the project's definition, in order to develop the ability to select adequate methods, techniques, and tools for the architectural representation in all the stages of the design process.
