Understanding space and its representation are fundamental in the training of Civil Engineering. A specific space is determined by a set of relationships that define and identify it. Representing these relationships constitutes a challenge, and it is in this context that exploring drawing in the representation of these spaces as an integral tool of the learning process is important.
The collaborative workshop on civil engineering and drawing, consisting of 3 sessions with voluntary participation, is proposed as an extracurricular activity. This activity, of visual-spatial content, seeks to develop a new reflective approach to the subject matter in partnership with the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Porto / i2ADS – Institute of Research in Art, Design, and Society, within the scope of the research project DRAWinU – Drawing Across University Borders (PTDC/ART-OUT/3560/2021).
The workshop is aimed at students of FEUP and aims to equip participants with analysis, representation, and communication skills of space through drawing activities.
