Graduates of the Saint-Luc Higher Institute for Architecture, Brussels, our teaching staff boast professional and interpersonal skills underpinned by recognition that extends outside of the university.

The teaching methods used are based on a systematic and in-depth use of the foundations of architecture. Focusing learning on contextual and temporary complexity, on gradually increasing the magnitude of the challenges encountered in order to progress towards an improved mastery of solutions, and on adopting teaching practices which combine discipline and demand, a strong link between theory and practical work leading to the integration of knowledge and the complementarity of teaching are characteristics that have shaped our identity. Support of these principles provides a consistent basis both for the teaching methods and for the course content, whatever they may be. The confidence placed in our educational project, driven by the strong commitment of all – faculty staff, students and administrative personnel – strengthens the cohesion around a common purpose established on a broad acceptance.

Our educational structure focuses on the respective roles of each party with a view to deriving the maximum benefit from the potential and skills of each teacher. The definition of clear and precise learning contracts, that are regularly updated, enables each individual to better situate themselves better and to improve their educational performance. In the same vein, we recognise the importance of the presence of architecture professionals within the faculty in order to open up the course fully to responsible, current practice which is grounded in reality.
