Un curso genial, sencillo, corto, conciso.
Abarca perfectamente los procesos desde la normativa, influencia en el entorno, estrategias, dimensiones atropométricas y cómo usarlas en el espacio, forma y función, aspecto estructural conceptual y las recomendadiones, instalaciones básicas, etc etc etc.
Excelente!!
Uno de los mejores cursos que he visto en un corto tiempo de explicación.
Gracias.

Me encantó el curso, te da un panorama general pero a la vez muy preciso de cada etapa de la metodología. El proyecto sin duda es retroactivo, puesto que un cambio puede hacernos volver al principio y ajustar en los subsecuentes. Comparto su método y a la vez agradezco sus experiencias.
