Teaching method
Based on a method of theoretical and practical, the syllabus of this course are presented in lectures that have, at times, with
input from invited experts and always appealing to student participation. Some references are the fundamental support for
the analysis of paradigmatic cases, promoting, whenever possible, the confrontation between the international and
Portuguese examples.
In order to deepen and complement the theoretical sessions and research literature, it is proposed to carry out study visits
to museums and exhibitions.
Evaluation method
The preparation of two practical assignments (individual and group) intends to provide an
opportunity for further development and application of concepts and analysis methodologies buildings and exhibitions.
