Main themes
This teaching unit is designed to develop transferable and practical skills in the fields of Construction, Materials and Facilities.
In particular, it is designed to develop extensive familiarity with the documentation of technical, scientific and regulatory references and professional communication tools (specifications and graphic material).
It also aims to develop a global overview of materials and techniques involved in the process of building.

This teaching unit particularly focuses on three axes in the profile of the holder of a Master's degree in Architecture: giving concrete expression to a technical dimension, making use of other disciplines and adopting a professional approach. Specific learning outcomes: By the end of this course, students will be able to
Use the technical dimension

Content
The teaching unit is a continuation of the themes covered in the 2nd and 3rd annual blocks of the BAC.
Two main themes will be covered in this course: the structure and the envelope.
The envelope through an exploration of expected performance and functions:
The focus will be on the façade as an element of the envelope and will be apprehended according to
1. Its load-bearing role (unicity with the structure) or not (structural dissociation and articulation with the building's load-bearing structure - detail and constructive node)
2. Its materiality (constituent materials) and materialization (composition, functional layers, assembly systems, and implementation in relation to architectural intentions and the notion of technical reversibility).
3. Its technical characteristics: compliance with the standards, technical and performance framework.
The structure's ability to meet current and future needs: programmatic and normative evolution (notion of spatial reversibility).

Teaching methods
The teaching method used in this course is based on:
-Theoretical presentations
-Case studies
-Site visits, where the designer and/or builder will present the challenges of the project, the construction choices made, and the relationships between the various parties involved in the project,
The course combines a theoretical and practical approach, incorporating exchanges of experience with professionals, site visits, and theoretical content. The latter addresses the main challenges currently facing designers, particularly the management of a normative, regulatory, and performance framework while integrating architectural and sustainability considerations.

Evaluation methods
- ASSESSMENT AND ITS CRITERIA:
Oral and written assessment (group): a referential study carried out in a group of 2 to 3 people, to be submitted in an examination session with an oral presentation.
Continuous assessment (individual): research and details notebook, which must include at least 2 elements
- a report on personal observations and research carried out as part of the referential study, illustrating the proportion of individual work in the group work.
- sketches and notes taken during site visits and case studies presented during the session, which must be recorded in the same notebook with references.
ASSESSMENT CRITERIA :
- Ability to analyse and use the tools provided, critical view of the analysis in relation to the issues set out, graphic and communicative quality of the referential study.
- Quality of the research and drawing of your personal detail notebook.
Online resources
All slideshows and documents will be posted online on Moodle.
