Aims

First, developing a professional culture of methods accompanying the work on designing a building (drawings, models, computer techniques).
Secondly, looking more closely at a "high-tech" theoretical and scientific perspective in the specific field of special techniques and sustainable development.
The objective is to bring theory and practice together, putting the project in a university research context. This approach focuses particularly on the development of the project, consolidated by solid theoretical and scientific material, related to the 3rd cycle and research. It develops thought processes that are useful for the student's thesis.
