Learning outcomes
At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to : | |
| 1 | At the end of the course, the student will be able to: Distinguish and describe the meaning of the terms'analysis' and'composition' when applied at the urban scale. To know the main currents of theoretical and practical thoughts of the city's manufacturing. To situate the changes in the paradigm of composition in the history of cities and their equivalents in the arts. Isolate by drawing the elements and laws of association that constitute an urban project. Recognize by drawing the composition methods specific to urban projects. Use analytical operators in any urban project to understand the reasons for this. Design a coherent and synthetic discourse based on the analysis of urban projects. |
Content
The course aims to provide a more in-depth description of the urban environment through an understanding of how the city is made, an analysis of its constituent parts, the logic of concentration or dispersion, and the determinants of urban form.
Through the reading of specific situations or projects, theoretical works or movements in the history of urban planning, the course builds a theoretical and practical field based on the analysis and composition of the urban.

Evaluation methods
The assessment is a piece of analytical work to be handed in and presented during the session. The subject of the work is an open reflection on the tools for analysing an urban situation (description and drawing). This reflection is based on a given urban situation and is developed from the materials, texts and concepts presented during the theory classes. Particular attention will be paid to describing the operations involved in reading and writing about urban territories (understanding, analysis, reception, existing situation, etc.). By discussing the documents, students will demonstrate their ability to abstract, synthesise and communicate on tools for analysing and composing the urban environment. These documents will be uploaded onto the Moodle and presented during an oral session, according to the timetable provided.
