INTRO
This work aims to show the conception of a new methodology that could be used in professional live and how the students of the University of Alicante develop the architectural project with it, in contrast of the way of designing in the University of Cuenca. Proyectos 5 (2014) is working with the unknown, which is directly associated with a travel to a foreign city, and used as a learning tool. The students should experiment the life in the city, having an active participation and finally they could help to transform it with a project. The goal of the trip is to change the city by becoming, in this case, a Marseille citizen. A final evaluation of the courses with the same methodology in different years shows how the environment and different factors can produce different projects. This way of teaching aim the student learn how to design for specialize things, to develop creativity and learn to control the project by their own.

ROUND THE CLASS
This course is taught in the second semester of third year within a period of 4 hours per class, twice a week. The lecture has 45 students, 8 with previous studies in technical architecture and 13 Erasmus. The first class of the year the teachers of this level exposed the content for Proyectos 4 and 5; this allowed the student to choose the best option. The principal reasons why they selected this class was the trip they will make in the second semester, as well as the possibility of making a project more real, that might be similar to a professional studio, and specially for being a course different from the ones they had before. About the Erasmus students, some were told to take this course by comments of friends that already took the course; others didn’t have the chance to choose, but were happy in the group. The students are used to submit the project with sketches for the initial ideas, lately they use AutoCAD for develop details, lately Photoshop for explaining the project and making the sheets, in very few cases they use illustrator and InDesign. For a 3d model and rendering they use 3dsmax and more commonly Rhinoceros. This class will encourage them to learn different ways of exposing a project, like videos models and blogs, to make it understandable for a client.

THE CITY The class is developed around a trip, a city nobody knows, not even the professor. This year the chosen city is Marseille, France’s oldest city and second largest, 241 km2 of which 100 km2 are of natural area and a population of approximately 1.6million people. It is a port city with a strong identity, and has become the European capital of the culture in France along 2013; this title was given for its cultural diversity and the integration between them. Going to an unknown city makes the student research and get into a different culture that may develop conflicts, mafia, immigration, and other ways of living, anything similar to what they are used to.
THE PROJECT The project before the trip is to create “Microarchitecture”, it’s a minimum space qualified for a living. The simple expression where can only fit one person. The students have to work and understand the culture, the necessities of people and solve the city problems with the microarchitecture. This project is created as a normal one, just with the definition that is only for one person, the students will pass through different difficulties not considered previously, because is an exercise they never did before. Once they get to the city, the trip will confirm the microarchitecture validity, and prepare the students for the next exercise. The final project is an intervention in the city, solve the problem they identified, research, create and design architecture; taking advantage of the first exercise.

THE BLOG The Blog is a tool to show the projects along the whole process. Also to post other exercises for the class and for making comments to other works so they can improve in every step. The blog is made every year so students can take them as a bibliographic website. It is a tool used by many architecture studios so they get prepared for professional life. http://ua-destinomarsella.blogspot.com.es/

METHO
PROJECT
PROYECTO 5 ph: carla flores garcía
ODOLOGY This methodology is about working with
the unknown, go to a place you don’t know anything, but you work around a specific theme. The student should find out the new ways of social organization from connecting the production and consume, recognizing how the different articles are fabricated from the raw material to the final product. It also can become into a sensibility to sustainability and develop concepts of territory established for the society and environmental consume. Architect’s career is always surrounded by people, a team of multidisciplinary subjects from the moment of creating a larger study to each work. That’s why we must rescue the social character of this course. It is important to encourage practices between the partners and promote the union between them, even to be a support. And the participation with the people involved on the project, to be more in touch with their reality and their needs.

This course is based on a trip as an experience that reinforces specialization connections. To make the student do an effort for investigate other camps for 8 completing their work. Beside the design they learn to think, to create new things, turning into an initiative in the student. At some point it may be demotivated because of the slow progress of the work, because each class is a new beginning for the project, so they think its missing stability in the progression, but it is part of the process. After a couple of weeks it is recognizable the way of giving responsibilities little by little. The most important part is the process, how to conceive the project, the investigation, the different options along the way. Everything will end up in an architectural project. This is clarified with 3 steps, the first made before the trip, secondly in the city itself and finally the “after trip� project. ph:

The project begins with the research about the place where is going the architecture, Marseille, the conditions for projecting, 9 the social factors, of the city, etc. in this research is where the concept of the project appears and the most impressive thing of each neighborhood is shown in the microarchitecture. The criteria used born from the interpretation of the concepts, mostly shown in the structure.

The work after the trip the student should think and construct what Marseille needs and wants. This work helps the student to look in a different way and find option of work. Coming back to class they will design an architectural project with real statements. It can be un the urban or architectural intervention.

The work is developed in groups of 6 students, a factor that determines the way of working, each group should get organized and each member work in specialized topics to take advantage of time. But taking decisions among a large group is difficult and delay the progress of the project. After a couple of presentations and redoes the projects didn’t get a good level, it may be because of the quantity of members in a group that make difficult to agree with each other. So they divided in to groups of 3 people, then the development of the projects is quicker and the results each time get better.
This methodology of learning pretend to improve the project with expositions and the comments the teacher and the classmates can make to each group, during the class and in the blog. These expositions at the beginning show the first sketches of the projects, later they turn into showings of the prototypes, that every class changes mostly in dimensions and different materials looking forward the best solution. In class they should learn to find a reason of being, that can involve the design and the architecture. Everything should have a why and to resolve a problem or a necessity. The architecture created needs a sense and the student should
group talking with them and making reviews for improving their work. He shows the importance of 13 learning from a mechanism for making architecture from it. Not to copy a system, but to learn how it works and adapts it to the needs of the project. Also to learn the behavior of the material for taking advantage of their properties, flexible or rigid, for maybe generating a structure of the material. ph: carla flores garcĂa

APPROACHING
NOTRE DAME DE LA GARDE ph: jorge arques carbonell
MA
RSEILLE
The main goal of the trip to Marseille is living the city in activity, to experiment how the live in Marseille is. The activities give the student ideas for solving the city problems and for making a project back in Alicante. The trip of 7 days showed different aspects of the city, from the rich to the poor neighborhood and the squats in downtown, how’s like to buy in the public market and the diversity of people you can find there, the different meting points in the city and how people interact in each one. The social conflicts in the city and the special places, those are not touristic. This trip takes the group to know different professionals that work in Marcella, and to have an inner approximation to different points of view of the city.
During the trip the students showed the teacher the problems they taught the group had, firstly the problem of communication between teacher-student, the information was different for each group. Because of the big amount of students it was difficult to coordinate the visits, the schedule and the information. The students are used to follow directions but tis course encourage them to make their own rules, presentations and to be learn to have new responsibilities.

It continues climbing to the highest point of the city for a panoramic view. Breathing clean air, lots of greenery and history that the city offers. Trying to absorb everything that a new city can offer, their food, their experiences. Identify the relationship between the new and the old tension created between the buildings in a city that mystifies between them. Each is characterized with different materials, defining a time and technology, and as both these can be related in the same space. The Tour Magne, La Maisson Carrée, the Cathédrale, Le grand temple and the Carré d' Art. Inhabit machine of modernity that give a clue to understand its operation, examples of important French architects, such as Jean Nouvelle. It’s an opportunity to learn from buildings, structures and new concepts of projects, and how these were built.
Arriving to Marseille after leaving the luggage at the hotel, the first approach with the city is the visit to the School of Architecture, very enriching experience. Received by the Architect Eve Roy, took the class around the building and explained how it was conceived for its closeness to the national park, how’s the society and how’s it shown in the building and it’s connection with the outside, as the Marseillaise culture develops closer to the
nature and should take advantage of the site location of the university. Having a conversation 19 with Professor Jean -Marc Huygen and share a class with 10 students and teachers and Florence Sarano Yvann Pluskwa, seeing how different can be the classes between these two universities and the projects too. Classrooms with small amount of students and two professors, can make a personalized learning, activities more detailed.

The adventure starts later when we had to take public transportation to go back to the hotel, an approach to the live in Marseille, run to take the bus, change to the
metro, walk to the hotel getting related with the Marseilles. Finally finish off the night with the main attraction center of Marseille Vieux -Port.

First approach of Marseille starts with a new perspective of the port in the morning, walking through the square with Marseilles in their normal day, going to buy fish, on their way to work, living their life. Next visit is to The Friche, an art factory, an area of life and culture in Marseille. Road to the Friche can be appreciated every detail of Marseille by walking through the city, looking for any problem that can be the start of a project, and on its various neighborhoods discover that has more problems than the ones we imagined. Big cities always hide problems to tourists, and that is why to understand Marseille is necessary to make an own schedule and get lost in the city. We could see many people living on the street, which brings problems of hygiene, sanitation, garbage in the streets, squats in each block, rats and organics wastes are present in the southern suburbs.

It was a great opportunity for a group that was working with the city and the skateboarding. They made interviews, take pictures and had the chance to live the place for the project. A skate park for all ages and levels of performance is a meeting point in the city, an opportunity for art and graffiti as well as being designed for extreme sports. The chance to learn and have fun in a skate park gets out our inner child. Identify the obstacles and ramps are designed in space, and link it to architecture.
Nearby, is the Palace of Ronchamp, to get there we pass through a tunnel 22 decorated with special symbols in buttons, badges, flags and in different languages, but all in one place. Walk and see how daily life goes between the Muslim, cath-

Way back to the hostel to prepare the “Bullabesa” a typical dish of Marseille based on fish. Each group had to make a dish to share it with the class. The result was a dinner where every student could choose what to eat from many options and finally the “Bullabesa”. We could see the collaboration of every student, music, laugh and effort of each group.

DAY

An activity of the trip was founding a hotel for two nights, so early in the morning was the changing of baggage. By 10:30 we met Tilman Reichert at the MUCEM, who explained the concept and the construction of the building. This building won the contest against other proposals of many recognized architects, it was because of the concept of getting along the city and the sea, for being conscious with the environment, and the adaptation to the landscape. The structure works for all the building, non-independent high on each floor, enabling a better job with a tree structure. The MUCEM has several bioclimatic strategies, the well water that surrounds it, the double faรงade, and a heating system that takes water from the sea and by changing levels this cools or heats the building. It is built with a super highly resistant concrete, further this cast to resist diseases by action of the salt.

The day starts on the International salon of art, expositions of art in different styles. Many artist from around the zone presented their works, sculptures, paintings and so on. Near this cultural center is located the velodrome, that still is in construction, we can find the person in charge of the roof construction, coincidentally from a Spanish company. That person explained how they work, with people from all over the world, in two periods, night for ensemble the parts of the roof and to put it up the building and in the morning no secure it. In the afternoon a quick lunch and instantly going to the If island by ship. There we visit the castle and to know a little more about the story of the count of Monte Cristo. Starring at the amazing view from the highs point of the castle. Way back to the city a small stop in the Frioul archipelago.

As it is known Marseille has many neighborhoods of poor people, of special groups of people, others for gypsies, and so on, many of them very dangerous for tourist because people living there don’t like estrangers in their zones, so don’t even appear on the touristic reviews. But as part of knowing the city even deeper, we took the bus to the last station and arrived to “Bougainville” the first impression was that the buildings and the neighborhood in general aspect didn’t look bad, but suddenly a gypsy marriage and the women screaming at us, boys looking with mean and incomprehensible glances. Then is where we star being scared, no more people in the street, not even the bus to go back, boys communicating with each other’s about us and start talking to us in another language, feeling we are surrounded by them, then star walking back to find another bus stations. Finally after being followed by that young people we get the bus and go back to the hotel. For relaxing a moment we met at night in a bar and have some drinks, talk about the day and getting into the night life of Marseille.

Almost the final of the trip, its necessary to know as much as we can of the city. This day is for getting around the other side of the city, like the “nice”

The following classes are for advance in the new project. The students are showing their creativity skills, they looked for their own project, created it and start designing it for a real propose. They mix the criteria for creating new spaces more sensible to people and architecture for interviewing on the city.

FUTURE
EWORKS
I think that at the end of this process the student should be capable to understand how to apply a new methodology to create an architectural project. And see how the whole process has a sense at the end. It has to be clear how this semester helps them to develop professionally. This is difficult to see for many students. The students mention some positive things about the class, for example the attention the professor gives to each group every class, it helps to solve the problems that appear in the process and the motivation for each one to participate, and for projecting with foundations. The workshops they take along the semester, as the one with Prada Pole, encourage them to work. It would be perfect if they had more and that could be integrated to their project. The students ask for a project that gets into more real problematic, to a work more like one in a studio. That could be more exigent so they can improve their technical formation. Because as they don't do plans and details, they don't see it as architecture. Is difficult to follow with the design process or with the activities because the students don't understand the activity, it's required a guide or a rule that govern the game and take the mind to elaborate the project.
