Aims

Develop students' ability for theoretical positioning and production, as befits a future practitioner, as a necessary complement to consolidation of a personal design approach.

Main themes

Students are invited to formulate, individually and as a hypothetical construct, a certain reading of the theoretical field.
During a first, "objective" phase, students describe what is necessary in order to assemble a "kit of tools" in architectural theory.
In the second phase, they furnish the content of such a kit so as to imagine its operational value (appropriation and commitment).
The seminar format allows a critical debate to develop.
