The main objective of architecture is and will always be the creation of a work that remains fundamentally for its artistic values. Architecture is one of the Fine Arts and therefore the creation and creation process are essential. But at the same time architecture is not an immaterial art, but must be supported by a series of material elements with very specific properties that have an unavoidable effect on the design process. That is why research in the broad sense is a process that is in every architectural fact. And it is necessary to investigate the forms, functions, materials, processes, constructive systems, structural or installations, basic sciences, etc. Also in the aspects of the history of architecture, both for their knowledge, and to guide possible interventions.
In addition the architecture is inextricably linked to the construction sector of the greatest relevance in the economic activity of the country. That is why research, development and innovation in this field is of the utmost importance and constitutes a challenge and a professional opportunity for our graduates.
