Learning Outcomes of UE

Understand the links between the "Theory of architecture", sustainable societies and democracies. Awaken to the complexity of factors that lead to architectural creativity in today's sustainable development society. Have a first cultural base required to understand these concepts. Enter into the space governance mechanisms. Be able to identify theoretical trends which have led to the production of architecture both in Hainaut province and internationally. Use tools of observation, analysis and understanding of architecture to see it in its spatiality and temporality. In short, out of a rough and blurred vision, students should possess specific architectural analytical skills and begin to develop their abilities to summarise this information.
