Main themes
The architectural project takes time. Repetition is required to innovate between lines. Moreover, questions and proposals evolve in the iteration. Finally, the more demanding the situation, the more the architect must get rid of a priori ideas in order to challenge paradigms. On the strength of these conditions, the two " Architectural design " Master's studios have the common objective of deepening the Learning Outcomes of the Bachelor's program towards the proficiency of the Master's Learning Outcomes and to initiate the students in research by design. Understanding the various challenges of the discipline requires the integration of a multidisciplinary approach and relies in particular on teamwork between peers. The questions addressed within the studio cover scales ranging from the territorial context to the materiality of an edifice, with a view to synthesizing them in an architectural project. To respond to these themes, students develop programs addressing the mix of inhabited spaces (from qualified individual living, to "all-in-one" collective living) within complex territories.
