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

1.    Be able to master the technique of semantic modeling (BIM) under the ArchiCAD and Revit  softwares.
2.    Be capable of implementing a semantic modelling strategy applied to specific development phases and levels of detail of an architectural or architectural engineering project.
3.    Have knowledge of the potential exploitation of semantic digital models in different application domains such as collaborative design, project and lifecycle management and construction.
4.    Be able to integrate numerical tools for photo realistic simulation into the design process and particularly the sensitive dimension of the project.
5.    Be able to create a continuity between the classical means of expression and the digital means.
6.    Master the techniques of creating views, highlighting, texturing and digital rendering (still image and animation).
7.    Be able to develop a critical view of virtual reality tools and of the changes they can bring to design practices and to the project itself.
