|
| Written notes : | The syllabus is made up of documentation illustrating the course through drawings, introductory, legal or historical texts and a list of publications which are easily accessible in the Institute's library or in the Groupe d'Ateliers de Recherche (GAR). |
|
| Assessment : | A written exam based on a questionnaire (questions on synthesis and knowledge of the subject), on the stylistic analysis of buildings presented in the slides and on mastery of the vocabulary used in the Inventaires du Patrimoine, of which students should have sufficient passive knowledge to replicate, through drawing, the building described.
A complementary oral exam may be proposed for foreign students.
