1 Specific learning outcomes:
By the end of this teaching unit, students are able to
  • make the environment a part of their project. They understand the natural constraints and are aware of the reciprocal relationships that bind together the natural environment, the built environment and man.
  • understand the elements and their characteristic features that go to make up the different land environments. They are familiar with their balances and their evolution, whether natural and/or anthropogenic.
  • have a theoretical basis for understanding the site on which they are involved. Students are able to assess the appropriacy of their project to the environments of the natural regions being studied.
  • understand urban space. They know the importance of the different flows caused by urban functions and which drain the polar regions. It is these flows which construct and structure cities and space.
Contribution to the learning outcome reference framework:
