The teaching unity "Construction law : specific elements" is a part of the (DER) History-theory-social and humanities sciences department.
The teachers of the DER History-theory-social and human sciences department offer initial knowledge in history of architecture, heritage conservation in theories of architecture, philosophy, psychology and sociology, law and ethics. That knowledge's sensitize students to the multiple dimensions of an architectural issue and encourage them to seek these different disciplinary insights in practicing architecture project.
Based on the initial knowledge acquired bachelor level, in-depth seminars masters install critical and analytical approaches. They train students in information retrieval, understanding and rigorous analysis of the sources, critical confrontation of the authors, approaches and methodologies to develop a valid argument showing a perspective-taking position.

The teaching unity "Construction law : specific elements" 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.
