  • Study and appropriation of materials developed on the experimentation with form
  • Study of visual and physical impact using modelling experimentation (study - strong form)
  • Study of the intervention of new referents (vegetation)
  • Students will develop their propositions in the laboratory workshops by testing the possibilities, adequacy, relevance and coherence of their proposals: relationship to questions posed and developed.
  • A piece of architecture seems more authentic when it succeeds in translating the aspirations of its era in terms of space.
  • How to translate, decode and express the values of our time?
  • Based on a simple housing theme, the programmes will be based upon a series of questions.
