Content
The International Master in Architecture (ima) looks at how architecture can rehabilitate, adapt, transform and re-imagine the future of contemporary spaces by traveling through Europe and working with international partners.
It is innovative in its way of learning while traveling and discovering the contemporary challenges addressed to architecture. The courses are taught with our European partners, online, on the train and in situ around the world. Here, students work in multidisciplinary and transnational groups. The workshops address pressing questions based on information provided by teachers, experts, researchers from UCLouvain and partner institutions, but also actors from civil society. Each year, a theme is proposed and finds in LOCI-IMA an anchor point in the discipline of architecture. Courses and workshops mobilize knowledge and methodologies to explore scenarios and paths of reflection, but also tentative designs combining lessons learned from analysis, research, online contacts with international partners as well as in situ workshops.

Evaluation methods
Throughout the year, students work on the project design using various scales of complexity. Learning is progressive and cumulative throughout this project. Learning outcomes are assessed during a final submission, weighted by continuous assessment at each stage. The assessment of successive stages results in a single grade. The use of the formative (and not certification) assessment method can be used as part of the student's continuing education (specific assessment, relative to the assessment criteria for each stage of the project).
At various stages, the teachers reserve the right to invite external jury members to assess the students' skills by awarding a grade integrated into the average.
