| Duration : | 26h Th |
|
| Credits/ECTS : |
|
|
| Holder(s) : | Joseph‑Christian Capelle |
|
| Language : | French language |
|
| Course contents : | In all periods which have been studied, a significant place is given to the form of artistic expression which is preferred, as well as to the ideas which drive these societies. On the other hand, the constructed world is always seen as being able to supply an architectural lesson rather than writing a page in the history books. |
|
| Course objective : | The choice of a plan, a structure or an installation are never innocent; to understand them involves reading architecture at different levels, giving it is full spatial and philosophical depth.
Moreover, the fact that students are asked at the end of the fourth year to provide a complete report on the history and philosophy of architecture courses, enables them to give a correct time line to the human pursuit of architecture in all its forms and to position themselves in relation to project ambitions and limits. |
|
| Prerequisites : | Good command of the French language. In addition, it is hoped that students will have a good secondary education behind them, supplemented by curiosity and hence a progressive understanding of culture and history. |
|
| Organization : | Lectures, illustrated with slides. We try to encourage students to ask as many questions as possible.
Invitations to quick practical work in the library have increased. |

|
| Assessment : | An individual oral exam lasting around twenty minutes.
The assessment aims to evaluate knowledge: beyond the reproduction or regurgitation of knowledge, the student's ability to intellectually use new information which is given to them, knowing that one of the first concerns is related to the qualification of space.
Each student is different, however, and everyone should ask themselves the following questions: Where does this student come from? Where is this student at the present time? What direct and indirect methods have been communicated in order to achieve this route? |
