Optional courses

Students choose a study path from the three following study paths :
  • Studio 1/1
  • Knowledge, conservation and restoration of heritage
  • Urban planning and landscape

Students complete their study programme by choosing courses from optional courses offered by the critical theories labs and/or complementarily by study paths.



Students must take during the cylce of master, at least 4 ECTS of critical theories. These courses are indicated by the letters CT

Choose one workshop from one of the study paths :

STUDY PATH STUDIO 1/1

The STUDIO 1/1 study path develops a consistent design process at any of the project's possible scales, from the broadest perspective to the smallest details, taking into account composition, functionality, technical requirements and sensitivity. All workshops emphasise attention to practical matters, as well as experimentation and a technical and creative approach. The workshops available explore a wide variety of fields, but have a number of things in common: they establish each project's meaning throughout its development, highlighting the necessary feedback loop between the wider and the smaller scales, they develop architecture's material aspect and they confront students with the realisation of a thought into a building project. All workshops aim at providing students with skills that prepare them to the various practices involved in managing an architectural project.

Workshops tackle all the intermediary steps between man and architecture, as well as the relation between space and structure, the envelope, the inside space, and the indoor fittings all the way down to the furniture.

STUDY PATH KNOWLEDGE, CONSERVATION AND RESTORATION OF HERITAGE

Any work on heritage, whether it deals with its promotion, study, conservation or restoration, lies at the crossroads of applied sciences and human sciences. Carrying out interventions on heritage buildings - protected or not - requires calling upon technical, historical, and philosophical skills, as well as a certain receptiveness to the values of the building in question.

Courses in the "Knowledge, conservation and restoration of heritage" orientation aim at providing students with essential basic skills enabling them to develop a methodology that is specific to the field and to interdisciplinary dialogue.

The "human sciences" branch completes the historical culture that was acquired by students during the bachelor programme by offering a more specialised and practical approach (archive search, architecture of built structures), and provides theoretical and philosophical tools that encourage students to choose which attitude they wish to adopt in the field of heritage work, all the while teaching them about current legislation and administrative issues.

The technical part tackles the history of materials and of their use, along with restoration techniques and the analysis of old structures.

Courses are given as seminars, conferences and field visits. The programme's cross-disciplinary aspect is expressed in the workshops, where students are required to call upon a variety of fields of knowledge through studies and projects on the restoration of heritage buildings and built fabric, while also tackling the subjects of scenery and gardens.

This orientation offers a basic level (4 workshop ECTS and 8 required course ECTS) and an advanced level (8 workshop ECTS and 4 required course ECTS). Enrolment to the advanced level depends requires that students have completed the basic level: students joining this orientation in the 2nd year of the master programme will therefore enter the basic level, and will not be able to follow the advanced classes.

STUDY PATH URBAN PLANNING AND LANDSCAPE

Taking on the challenge of sustainable development means transitioning from the cult of productivity to new forms of equilibrium between humans and their environment. Innovating territorial policies will have to be adopted, based on a new urban culture. They must aim at creating quality living environments that enable the development of human interactions centred on well-being and individual fulfilment.
This makes urban projects and landscape projects into powerful tools that can communicate new visions on our society's future and act upon the quick and complex evolution that our territories are undergoing.

The project is designed from the broadest scale to the smallest details, and is adopted as a way to transcribe prospective objectives spanning multiple scales and different times, integrating how inhabitants experience space and what images the structure brings up, and enabling different forms of urban landscapes.



In this perspective, the orientation offers workshops, classes and seminars that refer to pluridisciplinary theories and methods that are suited to the hyper-contemporary evolution of territories that are a result of the interaction between man and nature: cities, towns, neighbourhoods, countryside, landscapes and complex urban systems or hybrid territories.

The questions asked call upon the interaction of various methods and fields of knowledge, enabling students to account for the complex phenomena related to the realities of urban and natural environments. They are applied to the development of concrete projects such as: development of neighbourhoods, public spaces, blocks and green areas, rehabilitation of sites, restructuring of landscapes, improvement of watercourses¿



The themes offered in workshops are all development avenues that are directly related to new professions in architecture, as well as to applied research.

Two specific programmes, which reflect on territorial issues from different approaches, are :
  • Areas in the process of change: urban projects
  • Landscape architecture



Outre le séminaire qui introduit les deux parcours et le workshop commun, l'orientation propose de nombreux moments d'interaction didactique associant étudiants et enseignants sous forme de communications, visites, voyages ou conférences dont le programme varie selon les thèmes de projet.



This orientation also provides students with an opportunity to improve their knowledge by offering a second level, whether in urban planning or landscape projects. This second level is open to students who have completed the first level the previous year. Students from both levels (basic and advanced) work in the same workshop around common themes, while doing level-appropriate assignments and pursuing different objectives.

LABS critical theory

The function of the critical theories lab is to establish critical and analytical processes centred on issues related to the theory, the history, the human sciences and the social sciences of architecture.
These teachings train students to retrieve information, to understand and analyse sources in great detail, to compare authors in a critical way, and to adopt approaches and methodologies enabling them to develop an argument that demonstrates a certain point of view or defends a certain position.

Optional courses

Students can continue their studies in the same orientation, or switch to a different orientation. As in the first year, students complete their programme by choosing courses among the optional ones offered by the laboratory on critical theories and/or on a complementary basis, through the orientations.



Exceptionally, students can, upon a reasoned request, follow a programme comprising only courses chosen among the more theoretical optional courses, for a total of 16 credits, selected among the courses offered by the laboratory on critical theories as well as by the various orientations. In this case, the student's programme must be consistent with a reflective process and approved by the deans or by the president of the admissions jury.
