The Learning Unit approaches architecture on a particular way from the 19th century till today. The material component of architecture is the central topic. It's a transversal approach that convokes the technical and conceptual dimension, as well as history and the production conditions of architecture.
The Learning Unit alternates theoretical approach and case studies, builds relationships and reveals similarities between architectures from different periods.
