Candeias House

    Architect:

    João Luís Carrilho da Graça,

    Location:

    Évora, Portugal

    The house is very simple. In it are embodied the most basic archetypal sensations of a Mediterranean house. A house with a patio open to a view almost to the south, with water and a tree. It is built on a terrain where the gentle slope intensifies a bit.

    Objectives:

    Exercise of introducing research in project theory
    Search of information in specialized sources, collection and selection of information
    Production of research texts and development of the capacity to work as a team
    Ability to interpret projects / works of architecture
    Ability to reflect and write and oral synthesis

    Methodology:

    Organization of working groups (max. 2 members of the same class).
    Election of an author to investigate.
    General search of the constructed work of this author.
    Election of a paradigmatic work of this author.
    Specific study of the work and the author (biographical data, the theoretical approach to works that precedes the chosen work.)
    Research on the project / work.
