S05-AR-2-1 : From cities to metropolis
Responsible for : Milena Guest
Objectives
The objective of the course is to lead students to reflect on the basis and scope of our interpretative schemes for understanding the metropolitan condition and phenomena. Consequently, the main questioning concerns the relevance of certain concepts, notions, models and tools that have been structured throughout the 20th century and up to the present day for the understanding of the relations between contemporary spaces and societies. The construction of a particular Western relationship to the world, the achievements of Western modernity and the major criticisms that have been made of it will be taken into account. This recourse to history in order to build a frame of reference from which to approach the major changes present in thinking on the city and the urban and to grasp the inflections of current planning practices.
Content
The lecture approaches the process of urbanization, its properties and characteristics by critically drawing parallels between different cities in their relationships of influence and domination to territories. It takes into account the evolution of centralities and systems of urban actors.
The course provides knowledge of the social, economic and environmental theories and models that underlie the understanding and organization of urban spaces and questions their relevance to the reading and analysis of contemporary social and spatial changes.
It uses an approach of deconstruction of the metropolitan paradigm and the concepts that underlie it, and at the same time, brings arguments for an in-depth study of new forms of territorial anchorage.
The lecture :
- addresses the urban as a state of affairs and as a process: reading the main contrasts of urbanization as they can be observed today.
- questions the relevance of spatial categorizations corresponding to several phases of urban growth
- identifies the underlying logics that govern the settlement of populations, the redistribution of activities and functions at different scales
- analyzes the evolution of productive dynamics and their role in the structuring of territories
- allows us to understand the major social and spatial mutations that they entail in support of metropolization and to question their theorization both in a general way and in light of environmental issues

S05-AR-2-2 : Digital tools: GIS
Responsible for : Pierre-Antoine Sahuc
Objectives
The aim of this course is to learn and deepen the techniques of 3D modeling so that students can practice design, manufacturing and communication using digital tools. The method is done by experimenting with different software "trades". They will use their digital model in the BIM approach in order to understand the potential of the information contained in the database from the digital model.
Content
- Notion of models, BIM (Building Information modeling)
- Knowing how to distinguish, use and create new types of entities or elements in the database (components, materials)
- Manage quantitative information, generate documents (floor plans, sections, elevations, parts lists, etc.)
- Exploit knowledge of atmospheres (light, shadows, sunlight, heat) to create computer-generated images
- Management of scales, levels of detail, presentation style
- Creation and management of graphic guidelines and templates

Evaluation method
Validation according to the evaluation of the performances carried out in TD
continuous assessment 50% - final assessment 50%.
The evaluation criteria concern the clarity of the representations, the relevance of the images and the text. The volumetric or morphological coherence of the model must be in line with the basic principles and the data contained. The choice and quality of the selected documents is essential.

Work required
The class is divided into groups. Students work in teams and submit their work as digital files.

S05-AR-2-3 : Atlas of Urban Change
Persons in charge : Pierre-Antoine SahucMilena Guest
Objectives
- Understand the challenges of urban transformation in relation to changing landscapes and lifestyles;
- Understand - through critical analysis and interpretation of architectural, urban and landscape references - contemporary changes in urban fabrics;
- Be able to represent the different elements of an urban diagnosis, and make easy use of the notion of scale;
- Develop project argumentation based on theoretical and scientific knowledge acquired from different disciplines (SHSA, STA-OMI, ATR-RA, VT).

- Develop project argumentation based on theoretical and scientific knowledge acquired from different disciplines (SHSA, STA-OMI, ATR-RA, VT).
Content
The aim of the course is to create an atlas of urban and architectural forms in close relation to the evolution of their
geographical (socio-economic and landscape), historical and political context.
The atlas is elaborated from a confrontation of diversified primary and secondary sources with observations and
revealed in situ carried out within the framework of a voyage. It deals with the implementation of architectural, urban and landscape spaces relative to the political or ideological conceptions of a given society or culture at the time of their realization (synchronic approach), as well as to their evolution in time (diachronic approach).
The complex representation that the atlas provides makes it possible to reveal and characterize the links between, on the one hand, urban and architectural forms (physical and morphological aspects) and, on the other hand, the existing socio-economic relationships (functional and
functional and sensitive). It provides a basis for questioning the mutation of urban fabrics at different scales with regard to contemporary issues concerning the structuring of territories in terms of quality of life.
The focus is on major typo-morphological transformations, the redefinition of the status/modes of occupation and uses of spaces between public and private, as well as their integration into an overall landscape composition.
A base of theoretical teachings feeds the tutorial sessions. Different modes of cartographic representations of the city, landscape and territory are explained, and then enhanced by the use of documentary photography, in order to offer students a system of tools and methods of analysis and a shared visual culture.
The problematized analysis of the references is based on a certain number of indicators chosen around a common diagnosis.
The atlas is an evolving tool that will be enriched and fed into the research and experimentation work of students at the end of the Bachelor's and beginning of the Master's degree. It lays the groundwork for in-depth reflection on the adaptability of urban and architectural forms to changing lifestyles and conditions, particularly in a European metropolitan context. Because of the exemplary nature of the references studied and the encyclopedic approach taken,
It offers students the opportunity to continue the work undertaken previously, to refine the analyses, and to validate the hypotheses formulated.
