In different groups, students will be asked to construct a critical approach to research by studying a social housing area which is emblematic of urban thought: city-gardens, collective urban dwellings in the 1920s, CIAM-style housing. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| This optional course aims to build a critical approach to research by taking an in-depth look at the theme of urban history: the aim is to understand the genesis of an area, its 'idelogical' inspiration, its evolution and its current situation.
The general aim is to learn to decipher and decode the contemporary urban landscape using historical tools.
Particular attention is given to the reflective component: elaboration and verification of hypotheses, continuous assessment of the progress of work, developing avenues for research. |
