Learning unit contents
The learning unit given in Q4 is a synthesis workshop of the architectural project, whose objective is the implementation of a "shared function" (housing and equipment) on an existing site. Students will be required to manipulate and articulate the various tools and prerequisites taught during their course.
The content of the training is oriented around the following themes
- implementing a given programme in a real and pre-existing built and/or landscape context
- articulating several functions/programmes with different dimensions and scales (large, medium, small)
- articulate different thresholds between private/common/public
- design the surroundings (outdoor spaces, public spaces, private spaces, etc.)
The learning unit will take place in three parts:?
TIME 1 - EXPERIENCE SHARING AND CONTEXT (Prospective exercise in groups)?
- Understanding a (pre-)existing context/site of character
- Appropriation of a place, identification of opportunities to fit into it;
- Understanding of the programme and documentation via references; cross-referencing, orientations and personal positions
- Exploration of positioning, implantation of possible volumes, "postures"
- Exploration of different modes of representation: diagrams, sketches, orthogonal views, an "expressive document" (axonometry, cross-section-perspective...), model(s)...
?TIME 2 - DESIGNING A SHARED PLACE (Individual synthesis exercise) -
- Articulation of places: management of individual and collective spaces in their relationships, both at the level of built and unbuilt spaces (public spaces)
- Shaping of spaces: composition of interior and exterior spaces, with particular attention to transitions and status (private, collective, connection to the public), to the natural and built landscape
- Implementation of functions: interpretation, ergonomics, dimensioning, organisation
- Implementation of structural elements: structural experimentation (small to medium spans)
- Definition of an envelope: exploration of expressions in relation to the concept and the site (volumetrics)
- (Re)presentation and communication of the project: drawings, model(s), oral presentation to the jury
?TIME 3 - MATERIALISATION (Individual thematic exercise)
-
Continue the project developed in TIME 2 on certain themes: extend the design by sketching its materiality, take the project further in and through the outline of its implementation in terms of material, construction, expression, composition of facades, atmosphere, etc.
?
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of each stage (« time »), the student will be able to :
TIME 1 - SHARING EXPERIENCE AND CONTEXT
- DOCUMENT (INSTRUCT A QUESTION): document references (programme and architecture) extract concepts , enter into an ongoing process on an existing site, define the questions at stake and use them as a basis for their own research
- CONCEIVE (ELABORATE): cross-reference data to identify orientations and take a position

SKETCH / PRELIMINARY PROJECT / JURY
The documents presented and used during the course are available online on eCampus.
The course topics are covered in workshops and presentations to the whole class. They are supported by presentations (slide shows, videos, websites) and written materials and discussions, available on eCampus. Before each workshop, the student reads the various documents and presentations available on eCampus.
In addition to substantive (experimenting, synthesising, communicating) and thematic (being creative, generating debate) exercises, students will take part in site visits, study tours and presentations (being curious, discovering, understanding, taking notes).
They will also participate in specific activities related to opportunities such as exhibition mounting, publication of work, participation in workshops.
The workshop is divided into small groups; each group is supervised by a teacher, who pairs up at certain stages of the project. The group and teacher assignments change from one term to the next, in order to present different points of view. Juries and round tables will be held regularly during the term to provide feedback on the progress of the projects.
SITE VISIT
A compulsory site visit is planned as part of the workshop so that the students can understand the context in which the project will be implemented (sketches, drawings, photos...).
STUDY TRIP
A three-day study trip abroad supervised by the teachers will be organized the week of 19.04.23. The trip will allow the students to visit buildings and programs (housing, equipment) related to the theme of the workshop. Some exercises will be attached to it (note taking, drawings, photo editing...) with a travel diary to be given to the teachers at the end of the study trip.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Face-to-face course
Additional information:
Student's obligations :
In the interests of learning, attendance at workshops is compulsory and the minimum duration of attendance is specified in the workshop schedule.
Depending on circumstances related to exceptional health conditions and/or for reasons of timeliness, distance learning may be used. The platforms used in this case will be the institutional platforms eCampus, Teams and Miro.
In addition, some content could be delivered in face-to-face and/or distance learning on digital media: podcast, video, video-conference. It is compulsory to take note of these contents;
No absence will entitle the student to exemption from the expectations. The presentation of the progress of the complete work at the planned stages is compulsory.
In the event of absence, the student is required to
- The student must inform the teacher by email and copy the teacher / course coordinator;
- Update themselves for the next workshop and consult the weekly information provided by the teachers via the official channels of the course (e-mail, e-campus...);
Modes of supervision :
Students will be supervised either by a group of teachers or by a single teacher depending on the period of the calendar.
The continuity between the contents of the different teaching units will be taken care of by subject referent teachers (ST, SH, EE);
Some activities, targeted TP and support sessions will be accompanied by student monitors.
Recommended or required readings
- Powerpoint presentations for the different theoretical modules.
- Other reference works communicated at the beginning of the year on eCampus
Exam(s) in session
Any session
- In-person
oral exam
Written work / report
Continuous assessment
Additional information:
SINGLE SESSION COURSE
Types of evaluations :
Assessments can take several forms which can be combined:
- Formative: feedback from the teacher(s) on the production of one or more weeks. This assessment allows the student to progress but does not play a part in the construction of the mark;
- Continuous: individual assessment against explicit criteria defined by the supervisory team;
- Summative: marks awarded for different assessment tools and moments which are then summed up to form an overall mark;
- Certificative: marks awarded for work handed in and presented orally to a jury and which sanction the acquisition of learning.
Weighting :
The weighting between the different assessments will be included in the course guide schedule distributed at the beginning of the term and posted on e-campus ?
Criteria :
The evaluation criteria will be transmitted in advance to each submission. ?Each assessment will nevertheless include the following general criteria
- quality of graphic, oral and textual communication,
- Completeness and care of the expected documents; incompleteness or lack of care may be a reason for non-acceptance of the work, ?????
Mode of constitution of the juries:
Among the different types of jury members we distinguish
- members of the course management team ;
- internal members (teachers at the Faculty);
- external members (teachers from other faculties, architects, resource persons, etc.)
Procedure in the event of absence or delay at an intermediate or final submission (certificate evaluation):
A late submission or an unjustified absence is penalised by the non-acceptability of the work and a mark of "0". In the event that the student is unable to be present on the day and at the time of a submission, the protocol to be followed is as follows :
- Notify the teacher in charge of the group as well as the course coordinator by e-mail before the date and time of the handover;
- Submission of the work (in the state it is in) by a third party, on the day, at the time and in the place provided. In addition, documents must be submitted digitally (including scans and/or photos) via the MIRO or eCampus platform before the date and time of submission;
- A proof of absence must be submitted to the secretariat the same day, with a copy to the teacher and the coordinators;
The jury will deliberate on the admissibility or not of the documents, as well as on any provisions it deems necessary for their examination;
In the event of admissibility and on the date scheduled for the examination, the work will be assessed on the basis of the documents as they stand.
Modality in case of absence or delay in a workshop session (continuous assessment):
Attendance at workshops is compulsory. No absence will entitle the student to be excused from the expected work. The presentation of the progress of the complete work at the planned stages is compulsory. Access to the final evaluation of the quadrimester is conditional on a total attendance of the workshops organised:
- at least 70% as a general rule
- at least 50%, in the case of absences justified by a certificate or other admissible evidence?
All absences must be justified. In this case, the student is required to :
- inform the teacher by e-mail with a copy to the course coordinators
- give a justification for the day of absence, as soon as possible, to the secretariat (copy to the teachers).
- update yourself for the next workshop and consult the weekly information given by the teachers via the official channels of the course (e-mail, e-campus)
Work placement(s)
Organizational remarks
The workshop sessions take place on the OUTREMEUSE site, boulevard de la Constitution, on the basis of a group distribution which is communicated on E CAMPUS.
The courses in the auditoriums are given in the classrooms or auditoriums of the faculty, the places are listed in the general planning filed on e-campus
