Prerequisites

The prerequisite(s) for this Teaching Unit (Unité d’enseignement – UE) for the programmes/courses that offer this Teaching Unit are specified at the end of this sheet.
Main themes
This teaching unit, entitled Research Workshops IN and ON Architecture, is taught by joint lecturers. It enables students first to develop a research project linked to an architectural project based on an individual topic and second to place this project, in a critical way, in relation to the shared issue and in relation to similar projects of other students.
All the students work together in the research workshop; this encourages group competitiveness and autonomy.
These research workshops are linked to the Final Dissertation which is done entirely independently.
