Objectives

  • Aptitude to value and represent properly the visual attributes of architectural and urban elements, and to apply critically concepts characteristic of the theory of form and the visual perception in urban space representation.
  • Correct knowledge of the systems and techniques of materials and lighting visual simulation applied to architecture and urbanism.
  • Capacity to organise, manage, and share data by the use of computer-based resources.
  • Capacity to apply the acquired knowledge in previous courses of everything related to drawing, geometric modelling and basic techniques for digital models organisation.
  • Capacity to increase knowledge by self-sufficient learning, discussion, and search of external resources.
