Lecturer: Ramón Queiro Quijada

Details and Timing of the Course

COURSE CONTENTS AND TIMING

1 / 22


The course is divided into theory and practice in four types of activities:

-15 units of theory and practice over the 15 weeks that comprise the academic term.

-Collaborative work:

Delivery of a summary of the subject at the end of each theory class as a means to continuallyassess the student´s knowledge gained. Students will be given time to prepare the summarywhich will include images of the cities studied.

-Group assignments:

A group practical study of a part of Seville, whereby students apply the urban-regional subjecttheory studied in each relevant lesson.

- Individual assignments:

2 / 22


Given that the knowledge of the city has its intervention as the ultimate aim, there will be, in thelast five weeks, an individual practical assignment as the first attempt into the invention in thecity. Once the analysis of the assigned sector is complete, each individual student will present aproposal of a small-scale urban intervention on the urban fragment that may be considered asan enhancement or small acupuncture in the sector analysed.
