S3-EU 3 : 1° CYCLE LICENCE
S03-AR-3-1 : Spaces, cultures and societies
Responsible for : Karima Younsi
Content
To study architecture and society cannot be reduced to the analysis of the 'social, economic, political context' in which the architectural and urban 'project' is conceived. It requires to examine the position of the person who carries this 'project' and this operation is long, complex, deep, at the same time intimate, ethical and political.
What relationship do human groups have with space? How have our social and spatial practices evolved over time and in different societies? How, here and elsewhere, today and yesterday, have social groups apprehended space, located themselves in it, shared it, limited and delimited it, crossed it, founded it, oriented it and built it? How do we live? A room, a house, an apartment, a street, a neighborhood? What does it mean to live? What do we live in? What inhabits us? Life experiences can lead us to say that we occupy, camp, squat or sublet a place. In what temporality are the acts of housing, residing or staying inscribed?
In this 24-hour course given in semester 03, it will be less a question of 'questioning uses' than of analyzing our social 'practices' and making intelligible the social processes by which social groups invent, cunningly deploy, and divert spaces, and in particular those that prove remarkably normative (school, prison, hospital, camp). Beyond the material forms of the dwelling, the residence or the camp, we will be interested in the ways of investing, inhabiting, undergoing, transforming or claiming to be 'home'.

S03-AR-3-2 : Structure 2 Theory and pre-sizing
Objectives
The teaching contributes to the acquisition of the following skills:
- Integrate the issues associated with construction into architectural design.
- To consciously situate one's action in material reality in coherence with a citizen's posture.
- Associate form and structure while taking into account the physical environment of the project.
- Use architectural references wisely
- Distinguish between the different forms of scientificity in the discourses and processes associated with architectural production.
- Arguing the viability of one's project and improving it through contact with specialists.
Towards the acquisition of the general competences aimed at by the lectures, the tutorials have more precisely the following objectives
- Promote the understanding of phenomena
- Acquire know-how
- To arouse interest, to motivate
- To make a synthesis
- To memorize (call upon knowledge)

Content
The lecture course delivers the following knowledge:
- Problematization of the technique in architecture
- Definitions, functions, typologies of the structure
- Concepts of force, equilibrium, hyperstaticity, forces, stress, deformation, principles of dimensioning
- Associated physical-mathematical models
- Relationships between morphological parameters and resistance and deformation
Exercises and manipulations are focused on the discovery and mastery of structural mechanics phenomena and associated physico-mathematical models.

Objectives
TED talks
The courses will aim to develop the fluency and skills required to give a good oral presentation in English, while developing vocabulary and expressions in English related to architecture.
The course will also review grammar points for CEFR levels A1, A2, B1 and B2 and familiarise students with TOIEC-type exercises.
