Courses

Theory of urbanism

Theory of Urbanism deals with models, projects, tools, planning and design techniques from the XVIIIth Century to the present day, by linking theoretical discourse and design, text and image. Urban models and projects are the testing ground of ideas and concepts in the form of spatial themes.

UE J : Territory and landscape

EU J introduces students to urban and territorial analysis, in the light of a research hypothesis. A sequence of operations is proposed: fieldwork, space and uses analysis, and identification of design and project principles.
