Currículo e ensino de arquitetura e Urbanismo no CAU/UFPel

Abstract

This work refers to the teaching of architecture and city planning in the Federal University of Pelotas, analysing the contents of the course. To understand the process of how the course started and its later development (this process suffered many changes in the curriculum) this work checks the laws which came before and changed brazilian universities and their standards. The legal and regimental intentions define a way of the organization and the functioning of the university where the contents fit, joining several elements together which set up the teaching in the university. Specifically it goes over the recent history of the teaching of architecture in this country and goes along with the creation of study areas which consolidate with the minimum curriculum in 1969. Finally, it analyses the causes, aims and results of the changing process of the curriculum which was carried out in several parts and which resulted in a new configuration for the teaching of architecture and city planning in the university
