Field of Study – MIX USE - SPACE AND FUNCTION A. GUIDED PROJECT Project with a theme developped by the design studio. The project theme is elaborated by each design studio being part of the semester theme. The theme shares a degree of complexity specific to the fourth year of study.

LECTURES ON THE THEORY OF THE PROJECT As part of the design studio activity, tutors will deliver theoretical lectures with topics according to current architectural project: the public private interface, the interactive relationship browsing space from public to private, about the relationship between architectural theme, concept and urban regulations. The lectures will be delivered both for the design studio group and for the students of the entire year of study.
