Learning Outcomes of UE

Beyond a study of the great monuments of history, the introductory course to the history of architecture and town planning addresses the rural and vernacular territory at the origin of its appearance. Considered to be construction "without an architect", it occupies 95% of architectural production. Its symbolism has its roots in the utilitarian, a truth often forgotten or despised. Its interest goes beyond the simple object of everyday life: "the lack of beauty does not detract from its historical significance, although aesthetic success adds a dimension to its testimony" (Luc-Francis GENICOT).

The study of rural and vernacular architecture from ancient times to contemporary times aims by a global and sensitive approach on the built environment to modify the behavior of the student in his perception of the environment, to make him know its local architectural culture and build its historical perspective on the ground.

For the future generation of architects, the question of ecology will extend to the entire built environment to be recycled (renovate, rehabilitate, reassign, transform). Intervening in an existing heritage enriches its perception and gives rise to discoveries which structure and organize its interpretation of a built place: the program, the circulation, the structure, the symbolism, etc.
