Structural execution project as part of the Master’s thesis

Abstract

This paper describes a teaching improvement experience carried out during two academic years (2021-22 and 2022-23) in the Master's Degree in Architecture at the School of Architecture of the Universitat Politècnica de València. The main objective is the coordination of the pedagogical approaches of the technical and design subjects, so that they are oriented towards the elaboration of a single practical work, developed at an individual level as a Master's Final Project. The particularity of the proposal lies in the fact that the subjects involved maintain their independence in terms of content and qualification. Based on this hypothesis, the aim has been to promote close horizontal coordination, making the final project a compendium of the learning outcomes of all the involved subjects, focusing on the in-depth study of knowledge and avoiding overloading students with an excess of independent work.
