  3. Introduction to theoretical reference points
Aims

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

1 Specific learning outcomes:
By the end of the course, students will be able to
  • describe and analyse the morphological features of built up agglomerations and understand their implications for living (domestic, collective, urban, etc.).
  • recognise and understand the morphological developments and mutations of built up agglomerations.
  • be familiar with some of the major theoretical reference points and develop critical thinking about them.
Contribution to the learning outcome reference framework:
Build knowledge of architecture
  • Be familiar with and analyse the basic references
  • Develop and make use of knowledge in the discipline
Place the action
  • Recognise, observe and describe the targeted environments and contexts
  • Analyse the environments and contexts according to various given methods and starting from various identified points of view
  • Formulate questions relating to the development of the context being studied to make working hypotheses
Make use of other subjects
  • Seek out other approaches, exchanges of views and ways of enhancing thinking about architecture
Make committed choices
  • Activate and develop an ethical sense through approaches to architecture
  • Develop awareness of the political meaning of the work of an architect and his/her responsibility towards society
