<p>This is a cross curriculum course of introduction to architecture and urban geography. At its center there are environmental issues, construction solutions and historical processes in aesthetic and cultural terms.<br /> It is a practical course that offers a general introduction led by a general power-point<br /> presentation with texts, pictures, drawings, audio-slide shows as well as listening<br /> and writing activities. The materials are mainly student and class centered<br /> presentations that place understanding and discussion at their center. There is an<br /> special interest in providing visual material that enhance the comprehension of<br /> reading and listening texts. Every unit provides some clues to develop extension<br /> activities, research projects, ICT presentations or handmade models.<br /> Throughout the development of each unit, students will work individually, in pairs<br /> and in teams. The quality and accuracy of their projects, presentations and<br /> contributions will provide consistency and coherence to these introductory materials.<br /> The time required for the development of each unit will vary according to the<br /> extension given to practical and research activities.</p>
