The Urban Interior

The teaching of the "Architecture, Theories and Project Methodologies" field of study comprises 3 parts:

- A course on the logics of production of architectural space and related methodologies,
- A tutorial on the analysis of the literary capacity of architects to make a narrative out of their architectural practice,
- A project studio focusing on the large scale of the building, its topological organisation and the specific space
A project studio on the large scale of the building, its topological organisation and the specific space that distributes its programmatic complexity, known as the "Urban Interior Space".

This triptych is intended to help the student understand :

- That the public space that is formed around architecture has urban as well as functional responsibilities,
- That the architect's narrative aims to describe the respective shares of these responsibilities in his art and/or his work,
- That the intentions of such a narrative are concretised in a topological organisation that precedes the very idea of function.
