S05-AR-2-3 : Atlas of Urban Change
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-GP).

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.
