Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

  • Instruct a question on architecture and urban planning
    • Develop teamwork
    • Consolidate their architectural and urban culture with a research approach
    • Finalise architecture and urban planning projects adapted to a context
  • Develop an identified spatial response
    • Develop an architectural or urbanistic approach
    • Demonstrate innovation and creativity in constantly evolving situations
  • Interact with all actors
    • Contribute to the development of knowledge and its dissemination to the public or professionals
    • Adopt a professional attitude
    • Integrate and work in a team
    • Integrate actors' different expectations related to architecture, urban planning and spatial planning
    • Develop management and governance skills specific to architectural and urban processes
  • Make choices
    • Demonstrate reflexivity, openness and initiative
    • Demonstrate independence of thought and action.

Learning Outcomes of UE

- Integration of digital architectural culture in a design context
- Feedbacks of the experimentation process (critical).

Content of UE

- Implement the theoretical knowledge and technical skills acquired during the first part of the course (prospective I) to design, to model and to materialize an integrated architectural solution.
- Implementation and testing of the concept of Digital Continuum.
