The 'Construction law - Specific elements' course aims to provide students with indispensible legal knowledge on the one hand, in terms of the institutional framework in which architects operate, and on the other, to specific legislation which architects have to understand.
The first part is devoted to institutional elements in Belgium.
The second part looks at public calls to tender.
The third part looks at the procedure for issuing town planning permits in the Walloon Region.
The fourth part looks at property law: tangible and intangible goods; public property; servitude; common ownership.
Students are given the concrete elements to understand how their work fits into the various levels of power.
