PHOTOGRAPHY OF ARCHITECTURE, CITY AND TERRITORY SECOND CYCLE (FACT) The goal of this 1st Semester UC is to deepen the study and practice acquired in CAAD I, II on the use of photography and its potential to question and problematize the universe of Architecture, City and Territory. The intention is to lead students to develop a more mature photographic visual narrative, able to communicate new perspectives on space and urban reality, having as reference several authors, artistic currents and projects in the universe of contemporary photography and that may constitute a basis for their final dissertation at MIARQ. FACULTY OF ARCHITECTURE - UNIVERSITY OF PORTO (FAUP) Created in 1979, from the legacy of the School of Fine Arts of the U.Porto (ESBAP), FAUP is one of the most prestigious schools of Architecture in the world. Here were trained and taught important names of the “Porto School” (one of the most influential currents of contemporary architecture in Portugal), such as Álvaro Siza Vieira and Eduardo Souto Moura, the only two Portuguese architects distinguished with the Pritzker Prize, considered the “Nobel Prize” of architecture. Located in Porto University’s Polo III (Campo Alegre), the complex of buildings that has housed the FAUP since 1992 is also one of the most emblematic creations of Siza Vieira’s career. A unique space that can be visited by anyone on one of the guided tours regularly organised by the faculty.

PHOTOGRAPHY AND ARCHITECTURAL PROJECT COMMUNICATION FIRST CYCLE (CAAD II) The objective of the second semester curricular unit is to deepen the theoretical and practical bases in the universe of Image Synthesis, Photography and Graphic Design software applied to the Communication and Representation of Architecture Project. A component of photomontage is introduced and students are led to explore the use of various media, images and representation tools during the process of territory analysis, conception and representation of the architectural project exercise for the design and production of a photobook.
