New application date until March 15, 2024
The Continuing Education Unit 'More than Houses: Freedom, Plurality, Prospective' (3 ECTS Credits) is part of the 'More than Houses' initiative and aims to evoke, revisit and develop some of the experiences that April 25 brought to architecture, urbanism and, more generally, to the Portuguese city and urban culture.
The course is coordinated by Luís Soares Carneiro, who sits on the scientific committee with professors Marta Rocha and André Santos.
More information on the Continuing Education Course page 'More than Houses: Freedom, Plurality, Prospective'.
Objectives
'More than Houses: Freedom, Plurality, Foresight' seeks, by focusing on a set of problem areas in the city of Porto, to refocus the attention of UP students, and especially FAUP students, on concrete urban, social and civic issues, not as abstract themes but rather as problems that can be felt and observed in everyday reality and in a global context of wide-ranging transformations and climate crisis.
Organized in vertical workshops, forming groups of students from all years of the course, which also include teachers/researchers from any scientific area, the aim is, through the application and development of processes and methodologies to be selected and established specifically by each group, to observe, record, analyse, propose, change, modify and intervene in the situations being studied, taking into account the present and looking to the future.
It is important that the groups reflect on the issues of the Right to the City, the Right to Housing, the Right to Participation, but in effective contact with the problems and the population, in order to integrate them into their interests and priorities as necessary conditions of the disciplinary exercise. It is even more important that, considering the date of 2074 - the centenary of April 25 - we look at the scenarios, solutions and possibilities that foresight allows, rehearsing ideas and ways to achieve a better future for everyone.
In parallel with the Continuing Education Unit, a number of events are planned to take place in the evenings, with free entry: Conferences, Debates, Presentations, Music and Cinema. - The detailed program will be announced in due course.
