Risk and safety This course provides the theoretical basis for modern building codes (Eurocodes) and their practical applications in real design cases. The systems (networks, structures) are analysed in their real environment, tainted with uncertainties, with compromise between risk (security) and cost (direct, indirect as a socio-economic consequence of accidents or disaster). Uncertainties are described through probabilistic distributions: natural or technological hazard. The response and vulnerability of the system are described in uncertain context to deduce risk of failure (level 2 and security index). The last part concerns the regulation, Eurocodes: dedicated to actions, limit states, combination of actions, regulatory situation, and codes dedicated to materials and structures (reinforced concrete, metal frame, etc.). | 2 | 8h | 10h | |

Architecture Theoretical courses: They present reflections around the built space, the relationship between private space and public space, through examples of projects or buildings built around the world in the 20th century. These are projects, collective or individual buildings that are unavoidable because of their influence in the architectural environment and their footprint in the places where they were designed. For major architectural works, the course address the cultural context of their achievement, exploring the relationship between art and architecture. A particular point is studied on different metropolises which initiated an architectural evolution (Paris, Chicago, Barcelona, etc.) Directed works: Students produce a file on a major work completed during the 20th century and focus their study on architectural analysis Commented visits: Theoretical classes and tutorials are completed by guided architectural tours | 2 | 12h | 9h | |

The work includes the preparation of the field work, the actual survey, its exploitation and the writing of a final report | 3 | 16h | 16h | |
Urban public action Giving an overview of the construction issues of urban public action today: the role of local public players, organization of communities, organization of different fields of intervention that affect the urban sphere (urban planning, transport, city policy, etc.), etc. The course is carried out in two stages: several general sessions to provide reading keys so that students may perceive the major pubic action evolutions, in particular local, since the 1970s. In a second time, applying this to the analysis of particular public actions, which are presented and analysed by specialists (the creation of new towns, intervention policies on density, local economic development policies). | 3 | 18h | 8h | |
TU 4 Sustainable cities | ||||
Urban planning and development This module allows students to be confronted with lands and achievements in terms of planning and urban planning. It focuses on guided tours of sites tracing the historical composition of Paris but is also intended for understanding current production. This immersion work is used to present the theoretical fundamentals and the reading keys required for understanding a territory. After a workshop locating work, pairs of students perform a site analysis to implement the proposed tools.

TU 5 Urban project The main part of this central module from the point of view of the pedagogical structuring of the third year will consist of giving students the means to develop a project which, although not necessarily global, takes into account, at best, the urban complexity and allows them to federate the various lessons they followed. It is a question of making students understand through the scenario: - the urban project as revealing and descriptor of the interactions of the components of the urban space, - the diversity of the points of view, the complementarities as well as the competition between the different players for the organization of space, - the non-contingent character of the project approach (taking into account a multiplicity of historical, social, economic variables) even if the field of possibilities (options, alternatives) remains widely open. - the importance of the ex ante evaluation of what the project brings in the medium and long term in the form of reasoning and indicators allowing a certain objectivation. The end-of-year project is based on real cases and most often fits into a more or less formal local "order", which provides students with a network of correspondents, municipal or otherwise. It generally takes place in two phases: - a phase of analysis of the urban context of the object of study (documentary research, field surveys, comparison with similar projects, etc.) which leads to a formalization of needs. - a phase of proposals: which leads to facilities, organizations, services, etc. responding to all or part of the identified needs | 8 | 6h | 54h | |
