Upon completion of this course, students will be able to recognize and comprehend the principles and basic concepts of sustainability in architecture, in order to analyze critically projects renowned for their sustainable design, proposals and paradigms, examining the design as a response to the environment, including passive and active systems.

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to analyze the transformation in spatial, formal, and tectonic concepts in architecture and urbanism, from the second post-war period to the present day, in order to comprehend the historical grounds and debate topics of contemporary critique through critical judgment.

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to analyze the transformation in spatial, formal, and tectonic concepts in architecture and urbanism, from the second post-war period to the present day, in order to comprehend the historical grounds and debate topics of contemporary critique through critical judgment.

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to analyze the spatial, formal, and tectonic transformations in architecture and urbanism, from the age of humanism to the age of reasoning in order to comprehend the development of different aspects of today’s architecture, generating a critical judgment of it.

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to communicate an architectural project in all its different stages in order to use the most appropriate tools to structure a speech, according to the different application fields.

Know and apply the presentation regulations and techniques and the elaboration of sketches, architectural and constructive drawings, constructive details, including the different installations and basic equipments, in order to create a technical description of the project from the design process until its final presentation.

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to comprehend concepts in urban space design at different scales based on the creation of urban spaces by experimenting with the morphology, patterns and structural elements such as spatial districts, nodes, edges, paths and landmarks, and through the dynamic between the social-cultural aspects and city functionality, applying analysis results as an essential part of design methodology in the fields of urbanism and sustainable development.

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to analyze sites of different scales and determine their degree of environmental sensitivity , land-use aptitude and potential for development, in order to define coherent working lines in the ensuing design process.

The aim of this course is for students to learn about and understand spatial, formal, and tectonic transformations of Mexican architecture within its social, historical and cultural context, from a national and regional perspective.
