Courses

Chantier urbain : perception, gouvernance, usages

PENS-216

This week ENAC aims to apprehend urban construction sites as key moments in the territorial fabric, in the articulation between urban planning and the effective implementation of a vision for the territory.

City and mobility

AR-458

The City and Mobility course focuses on the basic knowledge of mobility, starting from lifestyles to inform architecture and engineering. In particular, it explores how cities and mobility are co-constructed.

Diversity and Sustainability in Human Mobility

HUM-124

Human and freight mobility in large cities is a complex process with dense population and many transport modes to compete for limited space. New emerging modes of transport, such as on-demand services, and new technologies, such as autonomous vehicles, create additional opportunities and challenges.

International Geneva: An urban system in crisis

PENS-325

This course explores the challenges facing Geneva's international ecosystem in the context of declining multilateralism and reduced U.S. support. Using the concept of the urban system, students analyze how political shifts impact institutions, real estate, and territorial structures.

Night in Lausanne

PENS-227

This course will take an interdisciplinary approach to night in Lausanne. Through a nocturnal journey, we will take stock of the city as it exists at night time. During the week, we'll collectively reflect on the future of nights in Lausanne, and present our initial ideas.

UE D : Urban planning and territory

AR-466

The UED aims to familiarize itself with diagnostic methods that incorporate social practices and customs, since "living" encompasses not only the physical space of one's home, but also the entire range of life experiences and familiar places that people use, experience, and grow attached to.
