Learning unit contents
Materials 1
The exploration of the world of building materials is developing in the first
quadrimester.
The course offers students to discover, from photographic reports, the possible
use of various architectural materials.
A classification of materials through the material rather than through the function
allows the student to become aware of the link between the choice of a material
(become material) and the impact on the environment.
The material is replaced in the context of industrial production but also as
a particular piece of handcraft.
The student can then broaden his vision of the material beyond standard products.
A session will be devoted to a practical work allowing to approach physically
the materials, to appreciate the application of the knowledge acquired during
the theoretical course.
Structure 1
The course "Structure 1" is directly oriented towards architectural training ; the architect is seen as a designer integrating the structural dimension into his approach to the project.
The course focuses on the fundamental principles of structural analysis (top-down approach) in preparation for the "Structure 2" course offered in the second quadrimester where compositional aspects will be further discussed (bottom-up approach).
It consists of an introduction :
- to the links between architectural and structural designs ;
- to the principles of elementary equilibria of forces and stresses and their evaluation principaly through graphic resolution ;
- to fundamental structural elements.
The course is split between theory classes and the resolution of exercises.
Comfort 1
- Introduction aux sciences et techniques en architecture
- Histoire du confort
- Définition de la notion de confort objectif/subjectif
- Les différentes composantes du confort : ergonomie, proxémie, accessibilité, confort visuel, hygrothermique, olfactif, respiratoire, acoustique, tactile...
- Approche des enjeux énergétiques
Topography and geoinformation
Provide students with the basics needed :
- to identify, collect, transform and exploit geographic data useful for studying the development context of an architectural project.
- the basic methodologies of surveying with simple tools.
The course covers the following concepts:
- Scale
- Map - Plan
- Map projections
- Coordinate systems
- Graphic symbolization
- Area
- Height
- Plan ratings
- Spatial representation
- Altimetric representation
- Contour line
- Terrain Elevation
- Context representation
- 3D representation of the frame (simple model)
- Using a Geoportal
- Triangulation
- Trilateration
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Materials 1
Theoretical courses illustrated by a photographic report of application of different building materials. Practical workshop exploring the characteristics of one or two materials provided by the student.
Construction 1
the general objective of the activity of learning " Construction 1 " is to present to the student a frame of welcome and of inititiation to the technologies of the construction applied to the development of a project of architecture.
Structure 1
Students should be able to identify surface, linear and point loads based on density of materials in a simple structure such as a floor, wall, column, beam or foundation slab.
Students should be able to identify the supporting reactions through the graphic or analytical balance of current isostatic systems and to deduce the behaviour of the whole from this.
They should also be able to express the structural properties of simple frameworks and their contribution to the relations between materiality, construction and architecture.
Comfort 1
Comprendre le rôle des sciences et techniques en architecture.
Savoir situer historiquement et culturellement la notion de confort.
Identifier les fondements subjectifs de cette notion et sa trajectoire d'objectivation.
Pouvoir énumérer et expliquer les différents paramètres objectifs du confort.
Pouvoir expliquer l'articulation entre confort et architecture.
