Specialized ‘Sustainable Construction’ Internship (10 Working Days)

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

• Appreciate the practical aspects of building sites in all their complexity and potential in terms of implementation, feasibility and organization,
• Place the practical aspect of the building site at the core of your architectural training, and be able to integrate this experience into your project design,
• Gain familiarity with the logistical, organizational, and procedural circuits involved in the act of building,
• Carry out a construction project based on an unfamiliar (to the student) or even innovative methodology, and break down the construction process,
• Identify the technical and theoretical knowledge integrated into this implementation process and situate the social, economic and material issues at stake in a ‘world in transition’,
• Integrate and interact with a site team (workers & managers) and determine their reality (working environment, knowledge, understanding of systems and processes, etc.),
• Write critically and reflectively about the challenges of innovation in construction processes in the face of real-life situations.
