Topography and geometry

Topography

The topography course addresses a broad vision of the different practices aimed at surveying the architect but at an introductive level.
The course focuses on the equipment and its proper use. Particular attention will be given to the interpretation and the consistency of the results obtained during surveys.
The course covers the measures of angles and distance, the use of traditional instruments of topography such levels, theodolites and total stations.

Geometry

Geometry 2D special curves, 3D (volumes, regulated surfaces, polyhedrons, ...)
Geometry : relative positions of lines and planes, length and curvature of curve. Links with sketchup

tools : Partial derivatives and matrix calculus

Topography

At the end of the class, the student will be able to:

• manage the basic measuring instruments of the topographer;
• make a survey to map the elements;
• master the vocabulary allowing diaglogue and understanding with the professional environment of the surveyor;
• select the appropriate tool for setting up a data acquisition mission;
• understand the notion of error - accuracy of a statement
• make a plan / elevation based on a survey
• understand the principle of cartographic projection

Geometry

In the same spirit as for the 1st Bachelor's course, we will primarily develop practical exercises which will constitute the application of the analysis in relation to multiple variable functions. 
In a second step, we develop the geometrical part of mathematics. We generalize the sketches of curves and surfaces in 3D. Numerous examples are chosen to illustrate the course (software, architectural pictures, ...). We also discuss the geometry, representations of lines and planes and search length or curvature of curves.

Topography

4 x 3H Theory:

• Theoritical concepts
• Survey methodology description
• Surveying instrument description
• Planimetry
• Altimetry
• Survey
• Relief representation

• Manipulation reminder (inside)
• Field survey exercice
• Critical analysis of obtained results

Topography

  Compulsory attendance at theoretical courses in order to have the minimum concepts for handling TP instruments safely. Theoretical classes are taught ex-cathedra with certain exercises performed during the sessions.
The practical courses are delivered in small groups. During the sessions, the student manipulates the survey instruments.
Mediation and remediation proposed during optional additional sessions.

Topography

Evaluation of this specific activity. Different from the evaluation of the UE.
 
Evaluation theoretical part (70% of the final grade).

• Theoretical exam with open questions
• Theoretical questions and practical exercises to realize

• Evaluation based on a report made as a result of fieldwork.
• A report will be returned after each practical.
• The grade awarded will be individual.

Topography

No survey instrument wil be available for students that did not attend to theorical class.
The goups of practicals are defined during the first class.
It is required to remain in the same group during all the course.
Be aware of being dress in consequence of the weather (outside practicals).
