Main themes
The training offered in the Architectural Project 1 workshop is designed to enable students to acquire basic elements in the understanding and practice involved in an architectural project by doing a series of projects with defined objectives.
Skills are acquired through the architectural project given the inherent complexity of the following topics:
  • Scales from housing to the region
  • Contexts built and unbuilt, cultural and historic
  • Types and Typologies in architecture
  • Structures and Materials in architectural space.
Learning outcomes

At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to :

1 The general objective of the Bachelor's degree in Architecture is to be able to:
- READ (make out, understanding, find the meaning of, distinguish, recognise)
- DESCRIBE (represent, draw or follow)
- USE (join, combine, order) the basic components of architecture, with sensitivity and understanding of the  basic, long-term values which are at the heart of the discipline.
Architectural Project 1achieves this general objective by way of an introduction. It covers the four primary dimensions of architecture: formality, usage, construction and context.
Contribution to the learning outcome reference framework:
Design a project
  • Sensibly bring together and develop natural and artificial environments (landscape, urban, buildings) within a framework of basic parameters
  • Express and prioritise the aims of the projects so as to be able to make choices
  • Understand, test and bring together the organisation of the space through an architectural project
  • Analyse, consider and invent architectural practices through drawings and models
  • Adopt approaches which are methodical, creative, metaphorical, perceptive, collaborative
Build knowledge of architecture
  • Be familiar with and understand written, drawn or built references which form the foundation of the discipline
Place the action
  • Observe, analyse and interpret the main components of the prevailing cultural situation. Show the potential of this situation through the impact of the architectural project
  • Recognise, observe and describe the targeted environments and contexts
Use the technical dimension
  • Be familiar with and recast technical and scientific knowledge of building so as to use it as a driver in designing architecture which is highly efficient and sustainable
Express an architectural procedure
  • Use traditional and artistic methods to explore, discover, design, reveal a reality, a design or a project
Adopt a professional attitude
  • Organise, plan, develop and bring together the different strands of individual work
Make committed choices
  • Understand the merits of an idea which can lead to the objectives to be achieved by the project ; follow through with determination, even by means of a modest intervention, the implementation of this idea and the achievement of these objectives
