Architectural theory, initiation
AR-103
This course offers an introduction to architectural theory through the analysis of a set of fundamental concepts that have shaped and guided the structuring and evolution of the discipline.
Housing and typology
AR-530
Using a typology-focused approach, the teachers will successively explore the main types of rationalist housing to understand their historical origins, as well as their aspirations and social and political implications.
Marvelous Architecture
AR-525
This course investigates a specific definition of architectural rationality, borrowing from Surrealism and Bachelard's epistemology in an attempt to understand how architectural forms work when they amaze us.
Studio BA5 (Lapierre)
AR-301(n)
From Shaker communities in the USA to the question of housing in Basel, the semester examines dwelling as both intimate and collective, exploring the transformation of workspaces into new places of sharing
Studio BA6 (Lapierre)
AR-302(n)
As we continue our exploration of the concept of heterotopias, we will focus on the transformation of housing blocks in the Sarcelles neighborhood. This work will be enriched by an analysis of Michel Foucault's texts, as well as a representation of the spaces he describes.
