| Credits/ECTS : |
|
|
| Holder(s) : | Joseph‑Christian Capelle |
|
| Language : | French language |
|
| Course contents : | From the 18th to the 20th Centuries:
Throughout history, a significant place is given to the form of artistic expression which is preferred at certain times, as well as to the ideas which drive these societies. On the other hand, the field of building is always regarded as being able to provide a lesson in architecture rather than providing a page of history. |
|
| Course objective : | The choice of a plan, a structure, or an installation ... is never innocently made; to understand them involves reading architecture at different levels, giving it its full spatial and philosophical flavour.
On the other hand, 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 that human pursuit which is architecture in all its forms and to situate them in relation to project ambitions and their limitations. |
|
| 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.
There are many invitations to quick practical work in the library. |

|
| Assessment : | An individual oral exam.
The assessment aims to evaluate knowledge: beyond reproducing or regurgitating knowledge, the assessment aims to assess students' ability to intellectually apply the information which has been given to them, bearing in mind that one of the first tasks is usually to deal with the qualification of space.
Each student is different, however, and everyone should ask themselves the following questions: Where does this student come from? Where has this student arrived? What are the direct and indirect means which have been communicated to the student to arrive at this point? |
