| Course contents : | Particularities of the fourth:
- Tackling programmes of a public nature: culture, sport, leisure, events, transport ... and discovering the challenges of spaces dedicated to citizenship.
- Approaching structural problems, linked to the need to cover large spaces and discover the structural systems which have driven architecture (structure and internal space - structure and closure - structure and light)
- Understanding the constructed environment in Wallonia (rural environment - peri-urban environment - urban environment). Understanding its continuities and discontinuities and developing a personal view of this problem.
- Acquiring an architectural culture based both upon the knowledge of history and architecture in the 20th century, as well as upon observations of the constructed world.
- The complexity of the project will be approached gradually. An initial, more focussed study, aiming to build upon the preceding years (programme, scale, difficulties ...) in such a way as to create a study which will serve as the basis for analysis, will be followed by the application of new objectives emerging from this study.
- Theoretical studies will complete the material.
- Different objectives are thus developed in two more complex projects.
|
|
| Course objective : | To give students:
- The tools required to observe the constructed world
- The tools for projecting in an environment which is in perpetual transformation
- Graphic, verbal and written communication tools
- The tools for self-assessment
|
|
| Prerequisites : | All concepts learned in the workshops and the theory courses in the first three years will be revisited and extended through new projects. |
|
| Organization : | "Things are not difficult to make, what is difficult is putting ourselves in the state of mind to make them" Brancusi
The work takes place in "workshops", where discussion and communication between students and between students and staff is encouraged:
- working in teams within teaching staff;
- students are considered as partners, constructing their own LIFE AS AN ARCHITECT.
Teaching aims to develop students' initiative, critical spirit, rigour and effectiveness ("knowledge"), to lead them in a coherent way through projects carried out at the level of town planning and architectural options and at the programming, structural, normative and budgetary levels ("know-how"). The complexity of the profession and related professions are covered during specific information sessions ("knowing how to become"),
The teaching method is structured and aims to present a whole in which the individual parts and the whole are simultaneously understood. |
|
| Written notes : | The workshop bibliography changes from year to year. It is simultaneously linked to the problem of the themes addressed but also to any additional material required by students. More generally, students are encouraged to engage in their own research and to develop their curiosity (library, travel ...) in order to build a critical view. The analysis of the chosen buildings will occasionally be organised, individually or in groups, to highlight particular problems (the role of structure ...) which will be developed by the student in the next piece of work. |
|
| Assessment : | Each project has stages which are defined through students' objectives and means, on the basis of which cumulative evaluations and self-assessments will take place.
As far as possible, resource persons as well as architects from outside the school will participate in the development of the project and its assessment. |
