Introduction
“You can learn from the past but you can't continue to be in the past; history is not a substitute for imagination.”
Frank Gehry
"And the Modern Movement is the past, it is history, which now, entering the third decade of the 21st century, is more than 100 years old."
Alberto T. Estévez
Within the “Project” Module (“Architectural Design Module”) of the Degree in Architecture, the Matter “Composition” (poorly translated as "History and Theory of Architecture") has 24 ECTS (European credits). These are distributed uniformly in 4 parts, in the respective 4 semesters of the second to third year: specifically, Composition 1, 2, 3 and 4. Also having an “Introduction” specific subject in the first year. As also have an “Introduction” specific subject in the first year for example the Matters of “Projects” and of “Construction”. The five subjects (Composition 1, 2, 3, 4 and this “Introduction”) should then be aligned in coherence with each other, updated and coordinated, as happens with the rest of the subjects of the Degree in Architecture.Well, teaching and studying “Composition”, entering the third decade of the XXI century as we are, is very different from teaching and studying it as it was done 50 years ago. It would be forgetting or not understanding everything that has happened in the last half century: a great evolution of ideas and an enormous enrichment of understandings that have existed until now about architecture around the world. Something that the current architecture student deserves to know and cannot be hidden from him due to ignorance or prejudice.
Thus, for example, today it must be asserted that architecture is not language: an idea that became especially fashionable many decades ago. Architecture is architecture, although it seems obvious to say so, which is what will be explained now in the subjects of Composition. Since every time it is said that architecture is language, poetry, “frozen music”, or any other assertion, what you do is establish a metaphor. And therefore, as in any metaphor, there is part of the truth and part of the lie. And “believing” it entirely, and building a single understanding around it, dogmatically clings, discriminates against other understandings, limits the horizon and impoverishes it.
In the same way that it is impoverished to think that the Matter of “Composition” tries to teach the history of art and architecture. Again, one must go to what is apparently obvious: in Composition, "Composition" is taught and studied, which is part of the “Project” Module. Module where one must also learn to project, to design, and to compose. And to project, and to design, and to compose, for our time, which is different from the last century. It is also in Composition where must be taught and studied to be an architect, not a historian. An architect of our time. In any case, it then tries more to teach to transcend history, to learn to “create objects”, which does not simply try to “listen to objects”, which is again a metaphor. And however erudite the quotations may seem to support certain understandings, they too become obsolete over time, and must be critically assumed. Thus, for example, today it is no longer understood that “architecture history is made because the meaning of current architecture is sought”, as Tafuri said more than half a century ago, but there are more ontological and experiential arguments behind it. Nor should it be generalized about "the anguish of the present" that he also said, to solve it by projecting. Concept more typical of a Eurocentric and existentialist world, of the last century, than of the global, multicultural and biodiverse world in which we are today. Etc.

Teaching and learning activities
In person
Methodology of the subject Architectural composition 1
Some of the words that will now appear in this paragraph were already written years ago: “The course program does not announce the teacher’s lessons that students could attend, but rather indicates the work of the students throughout the course. Thus, it is not a program of shows to be offered to a passive audience that ‘takes notes’, but a work program, provisionally articulated in four levels: readings, exercises, lessons and visits.”[1]
Well, the readings have no secret. They are there, waiting for each student for years, decades, marked in the bibliography as “the course book”, and “the four books of the subject”, and others, general or specific according to topics. For some of these readings, the hours after the theoretical classes are reserved, always on the corresponding theoretical topic given just the same day in class, at which time it is convenient for each one individually to write by hand an extension of the aforementioned topic supported by the bibliography, in preparation for exams.
The exercises will make it possible to specify objectives, apply theory, stimulate teaching-learning, accelerate the acquisition of aptitudes, knowledge and capacities for today's architect, etc.
The lessons (theoretical classes) necessarily offer the student only an objective distillation of the concepts that are considered key for each program, in an operation that, in fact, the student himself will have to carry out, to pass the level of each subject. Where the emphasis of such teaching is rather on advising of the distillation criteria, and not on a dry enumeration of concepts. It is more explicit “why it is important”, and not a mere landing of “everything that is important”. Likewise, such a synthesis is supported by bringing out before the student a selection of architects, designers, artists, and texts, where –again– it will teach them to calibrate why one is chosen and not the other, given the current morass of information.
The visits to be made will give the students the most direct opportunity to relive within themselves the fascination for which the protagonists of the evolution of art, architecture and design lived. Visits that necessarily change from course to course, also adapting to the offer of the exhibitions of each moment and of each place where each student passes (naturally voluntary). The most common –apart from the specific buildings listed in the Program– will be visits to exhibitions offered by Barcelona institutions related to course content, which will be notified and discussed. Understanding that the theoretical-practical classes are part of the teaching content of the subject from which to examine.

Evaluation systems and criteria
In person
Assessment of the subject Architectural composition 1
Continuous evaluation, “every week counts” attendance and participation in class, exercises, and exams. The evaluation criteria will prioritize creativity and critical depth, intelligence, effeciency, capacity for analysis and synthesis, as well as scientificity and professionalism (erudition, precision, diligence, punctuality, presentation, typographical, spelling and syntactic correction). Active participation in class will also be encouraged during the course, which will be especially valued. And, of course, the attendance and interest of the students will be taken into account.
Percentages… As seen in the program and planned work plan (agenda), this course consists of 15 weeks. Each of the two exams to be carried out will correspond to 35% of the final grade for the subject. Likewise, in coherence with being a continuous evaluation, the second-call exams in June will also count 35% each, to add to 30% of what was achieved throughout the course, with punctual attendance to class, corroborated by the delivery at the end of the course of the notes of each class, taken by hand and dated (10%), and with the two exercises to be carried out (20%, namely: 10% for the presentation of the monographic work and 10% for the layout of the main plan of a paradigmatic building in the patio of the UIC). It should be specified that each of the two partial exams must be passed to make an average. If any of them are suspended, they must be recovered in the second call exam. 70% of the exams, to be added to 30% of what was achieved throughout the course (punctual attendance to class, notes for each class and the two exercises).
The exams will be the way to control the level acquired, thanks to the reading of bibliography, guided by the classes and possible personal tutorials. And they will be evaluated according to the evaluation criteria previously exposed. The exams will allow in their preparation –throughout the respective previous weeks– to work especially on information management and self-learning. On the other hand, for the correct answer to the questions of the exams, as it will be evaluated, due to the limited time, it will be advised of the need to have exercised before, during its preparation, in the analysis, synthesis and criticism.
The two exams, which must necessarily be passed separately to make an average, will be multiple choice (50% of the exam grade). And a second part will consist of three questions, to be solved with a time limitation of ten minutes each (50% of the exam grade). It will deal with what was discussed in class and what was warned about reading the bibliography. With the understanding that the subject given in class reaches a maximum of 50% of what is expected to be answered, freely expanded in the rest of the 50% of subject with the recommended bibliography, which due to time constraints will not have been taught in class to each topic of each day. Obviously, this means that if the exams answered exactly what was said in class about each question, only a 5 could be reached.
The delivery of the daily notes on the last day of the subject and the two exercises guarantees the presence (face-to-face monitoring) of the subject. And since this face-to-face follow-up of the subject is mandatory, because it appears in the academic curriculum of each one, the subject cannot be understood as passed if there are faults in the face-to-face follow-up of more than 25%.
