Learning unit contents
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Studio Collage City is designed around an investigation of the themes of housing and its materialization in light of the challenges of our time. After the first edition (23-24) on the ruined fields of David Griffin and Hans Kolhoff's drawing City of Composite Presence (1978), a composition of an ideal, fictitious city by collage of fragments of utopias, built and diverted, our second edition continues the research and lessons of this document, method and description of urban housing.
The exercise and its fiction allow us to question critical theories of architecture through our time, and to extract from them a potential opening onto our environment. The passage through this form of abstraction, a place of research, is also the possible stratification of a project destined to materialize.
Living differently, understanding what already exists and seeking an alternative form of housing - in line with our times - will be investigated during the four-month term.
TABLE OF CONTENTS :
TIME 1 - sketch
TIME 2 - preliminary project
TIME 3 - jury, final synthesis
The course will focus on the following cross-cutting themes that are essential to the training of future architects:
Sustainability: sustainable development, sustainable city, territory, global warming, environmental footprint
Art: creative dimension, valuing art, aesthetic dimension, artistic knowledge and culture.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of the course, students will be able to :
-Read architectural "postures" through given references
-Understand and extract the essence of architectural parameters
Produce a personal, well-argued approach in a new physical and programmatic context
-Establish basic structural and constructive principles
-Develop and represent the project using conventional drawings, diagrams and models, at different scales.
As a whole, the teaching unit enables students to develop the competencies set out in the Faculty's reference framework, and more specifically, the following competencies:
-Investigate an architectural question
-Undertake exploratory, sensitive and critical readings
-Develop an architectural question
-Develop a spatial response
-Implement a situated spatial response
-Interact with all stakeholders

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
WORKSHOP NOTEBOOK
Description :
The workshop notebook is a tool developed by the student to keep track of the various feedbacks received session after session.
This tool can be used by the teacher at each session and/or at jury time.
Specific details of how to use/manipulate the tool and its form for each workshop will be provided by the teachers at a later date. Each workshop is likely to vary the expectations of the notebook.
The content of the notebook is not assessed, but is part of the completeness of the documents expected throughout the four-month period.
Objectives .
Build students' awareness of exchanges with teachers (note-taking habits, accountability).
Build up a record of the student's learning path and reflections.
Give a personal and dynamic meaning to learning.
Enable constructive exchanges with the teacher(s).
It records (at least) :
The material (external representations) used by the student (photograph of the table/board) for each session.
The nature of the student's reflections following an exchange with the teacher(s).
STUDENT'S OBLIGATIONS
Workshop attendance:
In the interest of learning, workshop attendance is mandatory. Each teacher will take attendance for the group of students assigned to him/her.
Teachers will certify student attendance at the end of individual or group discussions. Students who have attended the workshop but not the discussion sessions are not considered to be "present". In the case of special conditions (e.g. a student must leave the workshop before the end of the day for valid and justifiable reasons), the student is required to coordinate with the teacher(s) in order to benefit from the exchanges.
Absence from the workshop :
All absences must be justified.
In the event of absence, students must :
Notify the class teacher by e-mail, with a copy to the course coordinator in charge of recording absences.
Update themselves for the next workshop and consult the weekly information provided by teachers via official course channels (e.g. e-mail, eCampus, Miro, etc.).
Submit proof of attendance as soon as possible, by e-mail, to the person appointed by the supervisory team.
Access to the final assessment is conditional on 80% attendance. If the student exceeds a 20% attendance rate through unjustified absences, access to the final assessment will be refused. The student will receive a mark of "0".
In the case of justified and admissible absences, access to the final assessment of the quadrimester is conditional on 50% attendance.
Prolonged justified absences will be discussed between the student, the class teachers and, if necessary, the appropriate department.
OBLIGATIONS WITHIN THE WORKSHOP:
All students must bring their work to the workshop. This will be communicated at the end of each workshop session or via the official course channels predefined by the teachers (e.g. e-mail, eCampus, Miro, etc.).
Should the student fail to comply with this condition, he/she may be refused access to the teacher(s).
Students are responsible for keeping the premises clean and tidy. At the end of the day, the premises must be left in the same condition as they were found at the beginning of the session, and in such a way as to enable other users to use them properly.
Waste management and sorting are of paramount importance in the workshop. Garbage cans for cardboard/paper, non-recyclable waste and PMC are provided in each room.

- External members (teachers from other faculties, architects, resource persons, etc.)
Weighting
- TIME 1 (sketch) : 10
- TIME 2 (pre-project): 15% (jury)
- TIME 3 (jury, final synthesis): 70%.
- CONTINUOUS EVALUATION (progress of personal work, notebook): 5%.
Criteria
CERTIFICATION EVALUATION:
Instructions are issued specifying expectations for each stage.
* CONTEXT / IMPLEMENTATION
On the basis of a reading of the context and a contextual attitude to references, how to determine a layout, templates and facades that make sense. (Urbanity)
* RELATIONSHIP TO PROGRAM / FUNCTIONALITY
How to determine an organization that makes sense with the program and echoes the context (organization).
*ERGONOMICS, DIMENSIONING, SPATIALITY
How to dimension and articulate spaces to generate qualities of life and space.
*ARCHITECTURAL WRITING:
-How to develop sensitive expression and atmospheres through the use of materials and construction.
-How to design interior and exterior facades with finesse and precision.
*COMMUNICATION, DOCUMENT QUALITY :
- Rigor and respect for representation codes
- Expressive quality of graphic documents
- Quality of execution and expression of models
- Clarity of presentation (drawn, written, narrated)
*SYNTHESIS:
-How to embody the project in its implementation, functional, expressive and constructive modes to generate a coherent synthesis. How to take a stand through an appropriate architectural response: analysis, reflections, discourse.
CONTINUOUS EVALUATION:
- quality and volume of work between workshop interviews
- personal investment in research, development and risk-taking
- acquisition of autonomy
Jury minutes :
At the end of the quadrennial certification juries, the teachers fill out a set of minutes. These attest to
- names of jury members
- the grade awarded to the student
- Evaluation criteria and their assessment
- comments made by the jury to justify the grade (in the event of failure only).
Students may consult the minutes during the "copy consultation" sessions organized on dates to be announced.
Arrangements in the event of absence for examinations and juries
In the case of a certificate evaluation, an unjustified late submission or absence is penalized by non-receipt of the work and a mark of "0". Justified one-off absences do not absolve you from submitting your work.
In the event of the student's justified inability to be present on the day and at the time of a certification exam, the following protocol must be followed:
Notify the teacher in charge of your group and the course coordinator(s) by e-mail before the date and time of the hand-in.
-Hand in the work (in the state it is in) by a third party, on the day, at the time and in the place specified. AND, transmit documents in digital form (including scans and/or photos) via the eCampus platform before the date and time of submission.
Provide proof of the day of absence, no later than the day after the test, to the administration department: administration.archi@uliege.be with an e-mail copy to the coordinator(s).
Students who, for justified reasons, are unable to attend an intermediate or final jury must follow the same procedure as above (with digital copy via official course channels, e-mail, eCampus if necessary).
Any unjustified lateness or absence from the intermediate or final jury will be penalized by non-receipt of the work. The student will receive a grade of "0".
If, despite an absence, the work has been submitted, the members of the jury will deliberate on whether or not the documents are acceptable, and on any arrangements they deem necessary for their examination. In the event of admissibility, and on the date scheduled for assessment, the work will be assessed on the basis of the documents as they stand, without the presence of the student.
