Number of credits :
Master in architecture (120 ECTS)2
Lecturer :
Aniceto Exposito-Lopez, Claude-Lucie Hick
Language(s) of instruction :
French language
Organisation and examination :
Teaching in the second semester
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite :
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Course contents :
This course addresses the relationship between the express of an atisic'written and its translation into space.
Presentations will analyse an approache employed by contemporary stage design in artistic exhibition, painting, photography, etc. in terms of her spatial exploration. This will enable students to broaden their approach to spatiality through using languages drawn from other artistic disciplines. By addressing reference in this way, students will adopt an approach to artistic work and production they encounter.
The workshop will make it possible for students to become familiar with and to test experimentation and research, particularly through the production of several three-dimensional models. These models will be developed in relation to a sequence which is initially chosen by the student from a range of suggestions.
Alongside this research, students will be able to develop different means of expressing and communicating their concept, with a view to developing this three-dimensional work. The aim is to achieve consistency between the artistic work or approach, its staging and its implementation.
Among the themes which occupy a central place in this teaching unit are:
The theme of transfer from an artistic discipline in terms of the issue of spatiality.
This is organised in the following way:
-Immersion in a given artistic domain and immediate, spontaneous graphic perceptions of it.
-Contextual analysis setting the parameters of the given exploratory field and offering a selection of tools and references.
- Framing an extract to be enlarged and developed.
- 3D composition to be developed and refined through thematic and evolving research
-Possible involvement of an artist involved in the approach (speaker)
-Suggesting a group setting which evolves alongside the stages of the presentation
-Finalising work and presenting it as a whole (individual and group) to a jury
Learning outcomes of the course :
Part 1: Connection to the competency framework: all learning from DER 3 enables the student to develop specific competences in the Faculty's competency framework by guiding them more specifically towards developing the competences of 'instruction' and 'development'.
INSTRUCTING an architectural issue
DEVELOPING a spatial response
 
-        Appropriate three-dimensional language as a tool for design, structure, verification and interpretation of thought.
-        Develop an experimental approach.
-        Dramatise space.
Part 2 : Learning outcomes of the teaching unit described from an operational point of view.





  • Recognise the various themes (tools) in relation to Space Writing 1.
  • Understand : complex concepts of composition.
  • Analyse : references collated in a list.
  • Transpose : concepts of composition of the discipline based on thematic three-dimensional research.
  • Assess : the work of expressing a simple concept through questioning the effectiveness of various proposals.
  • Create: an individual and synthetic formulation of an intention.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills :
To begin this teaching unit, students should have already acquired the following credits:
Block 1 :


  • BARCH 0131-3 : Ecritures de l'espace 1
  • BARCH 0133-2 : Construction graphique de l'espace 1
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
This is a practical course framed within thematic presentations.
A good understanding of French is required for this course.
Students will develop coherent three-dimensional approaches which change successively throughout the course.
Classes will take the form of presentations, analyses and individual and group critiques.
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
In-class learning
Recommended or required readings :
nothing
Assessment methods and criteria :
Continuous assessment focussing on students' ability to develop a coherent approach.
The final assessment, in jury form, will focus on the three-dimensional project, in the form of a model.
Interim evaluations will look at the development of the three-dimensional spatial experiments.
Work placement(s) :
Organizational remarks :
This course has two strict requirements: first, students must, on their own time, visit two exhibitions in January, 2016 (dates to be announced) in the Jacques Cerami gallery, Route de Philippeville 346, in Couillet (6010), where each student will choose a photograph, then at the Vecteur gallery, Rue de Marcinelle 30, in Charleroi (6000). A photocopy of the chosen photograph will be provided, for a cost of €30. The second requirement for this course is that students participate actively during every class.  Students who feel unable to do this should not enrol.
