Each student analyze a specific material, examining its manufacturing processes, energy requirements, raw materials, and assembly methods, creating an atlas to be shared. They develop constructive solutions for projects, evaluating how these solutions interact with spaces and analyzing comfort aspects like insulation, humidity regulation, and noise absorption. The approach emphasizes form responding to material, performance, thermodynamics, and biohabitability. Efficiency and sustainability will be ensured by quantifying transmittance, inertia, thermal lag, life cycle analysis, and cost using simulation methods.
