Course contents :
 |
| The topography course for architecture students presents simple yet elementary tools and methods that the practitioner should be able to implement in the field.
The information provided is directed at essential communication with specialists, topographers and surveyors. A specific vocabulary and a common system of benchmarks are structured to allow understanding or transmitting basic orders to organise a field or building survey.
At the end of the first year, the student will be able to collect and check simple topographical data executed using simple means of measurement. |
