Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
The project will include an "collective" function where the site and the programme will involve a great specificity and a uniqueness of the response as well as adapted technical research.
The project study should be addressed in its entirety (content and container, form and substance) with attention to "detail" from the start through to the final finishing elements.
Information will be gathered through research using equivalent examples, use of technical documentation, the involvement of internal or external resource people, and assistance from teaching staff.
Each project will have a general theme, that of ecological construction, not by using the clichés which these words can engender, but rather by reflecting on that which could signify responsible behaviour as regards the environment in the broadest sense of the term (energy costs of producing construction materials used, energy performance, pre-cycling, recycling, minimal use of drinking water, etc.).
Exercises in composition, the organisation and adjustment of both interior and exterior spaces, and an individual project.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
To provide students with:
- The tools to observe the constructed world
- The projection tools in a constantly changing environment
- Graphic, verbal and written communication tools
- The self-assessment tools of the environmental footprint of the choices made
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
. All the notions learnt in the theoretical workshops and classes in the first three years are reviewed and extended through new projects. . arch1626 Design of high-energy performance buildings
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The scale of the project undertaken should allow students to review all the basic principles learnt during the bachelor's degree. The workshop aims to provide students with the opportunity to: - manage the constraints and translate them into intelligent and inventive architectural responses from concept to detail; - increase awareness of all the stages involved in the success of a global and concise project, - make objective conceptual and technical choices according to the ecological assessment
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning)
" Things aren't difficult to do, what's difficult is preparing ourselves to do them" Brancusi
The work takes the form of a "workshop", during which exchange and communication between students, and between the students and teachers are encouraged:
- teamwork amongst teachers;
- students are considered colleagues, builders of their own life as an ARCHITECT.
Recommended or required readings
The workshop bibliography changes from year to year. It is linked to both the problems of the themes dealt with and the students' need for additional "baggage". More generally, students are encouraged to engage in their own research and to give free reign to their curiosity (library, trips, etc.), so as to form critical judgement. Selected architectural analyses are organised from time to time, individually or in groups, that highlight a particular concern (the role of structure, etc.), that will be developed by the student in a future project.
Assessment methods and criteria
Every project is the subject of stages whose objectives and means are defined, and on which cumulative assessments and self-assessments are based. As far as possible, "project resource" people as well as architects external to the school participate in the development of the project and its assessment.

Organizational remarks
Students present their work every week to show their progress. Everyone is involved in its correction; this encourages the students' understanding and involvement, stimulates the transfer of information, and reflection on every personal project. Students must respect the intermediary stages aimed at marking out their progress.
