Learning Outcomes of UE

The history of architecture plays a leading specific role to familiriser him studying " future architect " in the practices of past.
The material history of architecture and of its constructive culture aims at forming at the student's historical detachment and architectural culture.

The course gives the student an architectural culture through the case study of various programs, structures, techniques and forms. He develops his faculty of judging as much constructive, artistic and cultural genius by the study of the typological invention (from the convenience of use to the spatial design), the technical innovation (from the tectonic stability to the architectural order) and creativity in composition and architectural theory (from module and rhythm to plastic beauty).

By setting the situation-problem of modern times architecture, the course deepens the particular questions such as the place, the constructive mode, the morphology, the structure, the luminosity, the spatiality, the decoration or the ornament. A field study of an architectural vestige aims to awaken the responsibility of the future architect facing this modern heritage.

A study of a modern day architectural production based on a treatise on architecture aims to awaken the future architect to the importance of architectural theory.

With a historical and contextual perspective on significant achievements, the student deepens his critical reflection on the design process and its implementation as well as on the codification of architectural theory and the cultural message.
