This work was carried out by architecture students participating in an elective seminar dedicated to the OIKONET project.
D4.1 Learning Spaces
This report contains the summary of the work done in nine learning spaces carried out during the project. A summary of the development process and work carried out in each learning space is presented, including the implemented learning activities and tasks, examples of student works, evaluation of the results and reflections about the work done. The work compiled in this document helps teachers who have participated in the project to gain an overview of a variety of pedagogic approaches which can help them to critically reflect on their current learning and teaching practices.
D4.3 International Workshops (Lisbon)
This report summarizes the work done during the first international OIKONET workshop held in Lisbon in July 2014. The topic of the Lisbon workshop was “Contemporary Living Patterns: Formal – Informal”. The objective was to develop a cross-disciplinary dialogue aimed at identifying meanings and forms of contemporary living patterns in mass housing, by opposing “formal” and “informal” housing exemplified by two neighbourhoods, “Portela de Sacavém” and “Bairro da Liberdade”, respectively. The report encompasses the preparatory activities done prior to the workshop in the OIKODOMOS Workspaces environment, the programme of activities and results produced in the workshop as well as the evaluation of the students’ work by tutors.

This report presents the work done concerning the design and implementation of the OIKONET digital platform. The platform started to be created from scratch at the start of the project. Later, it has been developed in successive stages, adding new components as the project progressed. A usability test has been conducted in the second half of the project to verify the functionality of the platform. The digital platform is a key component of the OIKONET project. It is meant to foster the communication and the collaborative work among project partners and to disseminate the project activities beyond the consortium.
D6.5 Final Quality Report
This report summarizes the results of all the evaluation activities performed during the project: events (project meetings, conferences); learning activities (learning spaces, workshops) and digital environment (web portal, social web). Furthermore, two external experts were invited to review some project activities; their feedback which is included in this document.
D7.4 Publications
This is a report of the publications produced by OIKONET partners, published in journals, external conferences and conferences organized within the project. In sum, 3 articles in scientific journals, 11 conference papers and 40 papers in the three international OIKONET conferences have been produced by the consortium.
D8.2 Common credits
This report presents the work done during the project to create a common base to evaluate the learning activities carried out in various settings (collaborative learning activities, workshops). The ultimate goal has been to create a list of competences to be used in the design of a curriculum focused on the theme “Global Dwelling”. This table can be instrumental in the design of future courses carried out by OIKONET partners, either in their own curricula or in joint courses with other partners.
