Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Instruct an architectural issue
• Study the different components of a theme to articulate its findings in a comprehensive summary
• Build an architectural culture based on theoretical and critical knowledge and personal reading
• Coordinate the various disciplines related to architecture and urban planning transversely
• Contextualise their approach to architecture
• Develop teamwork
• Develop a spatial response
• Master the means of oral, written and graphic expression
• Develop a creative approach from a set of constraints
• Implement an identified spatial response
• Adopt an applied scientific approach
• Integrate technical dimensions in the project
• Reconcile the creative and functional dimensions in the project
• Interact with all actors
• Master the different means of expression available to the architect to communicate to informed publics, or not
• Develop a professional attitude
• Integrate and work in a team
• Integrate the different expectations of stakeholders related to architecture and urban planning
• Make choices
• Demonstrate reflexivity, openness and initiative

Learning Outcomes of UE

-Introduction to the concept of geometric three-dimensional modeling and semantic modeling applied to architecture field
-Presentation and experimentation of optimized uses, the contributions and limitations of these tools in the practice of architecture
-Awareness of the concept of digital modeling and collaborative design Integration of digital tools in architectural design process and particularly the sensitive dimension of the project
-Create a continuity between the conventional expression means and the digital ones Acquire skills on views creation, lightening, texturing and rendering (fixed and animated ones)
-Develop one feedbacks and critical reviews about virtual reality tools and haw they can influence design practice and projects involvement.

Overview of functions and uses of each technique :
SketchUp
-Interface and use process of the tool
-Creating and editing objects

-Review of tools and on-line software features Screen presentation
-Students are required to reproduce the manipulations in real time.
Twinmotion
The course will be divided into 10 topics:
-Introduction to virtual reality concept in the field of architecture
-Presentation of the use process and interface of Twinmotion
-Preparation and import 3D geometric models
-Creation and setting views
-Creation and settings of light (natural and artificial)
-Create and mapping of textures
-Creating and managing of objects
-Rendering (fixed) and export
-Creation and animation settings
-Rendering (animations) and virtual reality devices

Type of Assessment for UE in Q1

• Presentation and/or works
• Oral examination
• Practical test
• Graded tests
• eTest

Q1 UE Assessment Comments

Attendance at the tutorials is mandatory with a check at the end of each session. These TDs result in a series of interim assessments (MCQ / TP rendering) as part of the final AA assessment. Absence from TP sessions and / or non-delivery of associated work is penalized with a zero rating. Only absences due to force majeure will be taken into account on the basis of valid proof to be given to the secretariat within 24 hours after the session concerned.
Other than these intermediate evaluations, the final evaluation will consist of the submission of a modeling work of a reference project (precision given at the beginning of the course) to be presented during the examination session. The final choice of weighting between the different evaluation methods will be specified at the beginning of the course (introductory course) and communicated via its Moodle page.
