Startup with lectures and then divided in large groups (3 groups) basic CAD in the computer lab. In the project these groups are then divided in smaller groups (6-7 stud / group). Ends with presentation to a large group. The group uses digital adm. management folders on electronic learning environment (Blackboard) as organizing tools. The core of the course a project that includes a large development area to be developed mainly with residential focus (development of future urbanization for young).
