Introduction

Foundations for Projects I and II Tardes is a first approach to the architectural design process. Since this is a process in which Theory and Practice are communicating vessels, the main objective of the course will be for students to acquire, on the one hand, tools and, on the other hand, a critical perspective.

The course will focus on the SAQUE: that initial action that opens the game. That starting moment that breaks the silence, that initial moment in which the principles and foundations of the project are defined.

Throughout the course we will explore different ways of starting the design process, focusing on action, on doing. We will learn with our hands and we will learn by playing. The game will be the methodological basis of the course, leaving ideas in the background.

As a Game, where the key elements are: the board, the rules and the players; throughout the course we will see 3 types of SERVE:

* The First Serve based on the rules of the game, where we will define a SYSTEM.

* The Second Serve will start from the game board, which in Architecture is the support: the PLACE.

* The Third Serve will work from the players and focusing on a specific function: INHABIT.
