4 thématiques du cours :

- Geo visualisation
- Architectural visualisation
The course should meet the 4 transversal themes of the Master: Art - through representation, Digital - through the tools implemented to make a representation or the use of a medium of communication, Society - by positioning its representation in a societal context, by being aware of and assuming its choices of representations, Sustainability - by approaching all the scales of representations, by questioning the environmental realism of the elements communicated
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of the course, the student should be able to :
- find or collect the data necessary for his representation,

- communicate effectively their results in accordance with the message to be transmitted, the chosen communication medium and the target audience.
- take a reasoned communicative position;
- understand and assume the choice and political impact of a graphic representation;
- analyse a graphic communication and place it in a theoretical and historical context.
