The Projects course in the fourth year (Projects 5 and 6) represents a final opportunity, before tackling the Final Project, to put into practice everything that students have learnt during the course in terms of both technical and more creative and imaginative aspects.
After the first two courses, in which small-scale projects were proposed, and the third one, in which we turned out attention to housing projects, the fourth course represents an opportunity to step up in scale again and propose assignments that demand an urban outlook; in other words, where the optimum resolution of the proposed programme entails reflection on our surroundings, whether these are close to home (street, neighbourhood, etc.) or further away (city, metropolis).
