Learning unit contents
This course includes a theoretical part and a design studio.
The theoretical course teaches integration in the design process of urban contextual, programmatic, environmental, social, regulatory and technical constraints. It describes a design and multi-criteria analysis method based on the concepts of contextuality, coexistence and coherence. The theoretical course is illustrated by various examples of urban design and urban renewal projects.
The design studio aims to integrate the theoretical skills developed into the practice of an urban project.

The course objectives are :
- Understanding the multidisciplinary issues of urban projects' planning and design.
- Learning a multi-criteria method for assessing and designing built environments
- Developing skills in project design by the passage of a building integrated in an urban context to the composition of a complex of buildings and public spaces that connect them.
