Descriptif

Understanding the emerging initiatives and theories in architecture and urbanism helps support a sustainable and desirable habitability of territories, by giving attention to their dynamic agencies. We introduce strategies and perspectives in architecture and urban planning to understand their transformation, their modes of installation and aesthetics. We’ll explore urban stratifications, interrelations, infrastructure and mobility networks, urban recycling, the place of nature in the city, local and frugal design thinking. We'll understand what sustainability really is in architecture and urban practice through critique, theory, and the actions and thoughts of major figures promoting this attitude.
