Main themes

This teaching unit is designed to expose student architects to their commitments and responsibilities, from the perspective of participating in a design team/specific realisation in the construction sector.
In this unit, students will become familiar with and understand the issues relating to the legal status of architect. The unit will clarify the different levels of responsibility and will provide a practical explanation of the different tools to manage a project and a construction site.
The teaching unit is made up of two parts:

1. Professional practice and the role of the architecture with the objective of planning / implementing a project
2. Tools to manage the project process and contractual framework of a construction site.

The programme deals with the following topics:

• Introduction to the legal framework of the profession of a practising architect (design, implementation of regulations and building controls)
• Objectives, challenges, impacts and responsibilities of an architecture assignment
• Breaking down of the different steps and stages of a complete architectural project (implementation) & drawing up of the relevant contractual documents
• Documents for the organisation and management of a project involving a construction / implementation process.
