Learning Outcomes of UE

Understand the links between the "Theory of architecture", societies and democracies. Awaken to the complexity of factors that lead to architectural creativity in society. Have a first cultural base required to understand these concepts. Enter into the space governance mechanisms. Be able to identify theoretical trends which have led to the production of architecture both in Hainaut province and internationally. Use tools of observation, analysis and understanding of architecture to see it in its spatiality and temporality. In short, out of a rough and blurred vision, students should possess specific architectural analytical skills and begin to develop their abilities to summarise this information.

Type of Assessment for UE in Q2

Q2 UE Assessment Comments

The evaluation consists of a standard examination on the matters treated during the course: a written test consisting of a MCQ (multiple-choice questionnaire), concepts to be explained and/or topics to be developed. It aims to determine the accuracy of your architectural analysis capacities. The written personal notes could be considered as part of your evaluation (a copy must be conserved by the student). Your participation on the Moodle forum could be considered a bonus for your evaluation.
