Language

Content
Theories and tools of representation of the territory; Methods of analysis of urban structures and territory in situations of compact and diffuse urbanisation (urban surveys; typo-morphological analysis; historical reading; analysis of territorial urban structures); Methods of analysis of landscape structures (environmental analysis; landscape ecology, landscape urbanism); other methods of analysis overview (participatory mapping; big data)
Teaching methods
    
The course is given in a lecture mode by the teaching team, and includes sessions dedicated to practical issues that can lead to field trips, specific exercises, more technical explanations (use of software or specific analysis techniques), and critiques of the work proposed for evaluation. With a view to capitalising on the work, the priority references for the latter are the territories explored in the workshops of the various training programmes followed by the students. The holder(s) will be likely to invite external speakers to certain sessions. They may, if necessary, participate in the evaluation.
Evaluation methods
Continuous evaluation during the course and final evaluation on the basis of an analysis notebook (carried out individually or in groups of 2 to 3 students) that include a critical reading of a bibliography of the student's choice.
