Architecture is about places<\/strong>, their uses<\/strong>, and spatiality<\/strong>.<\/h2>\n

According to Le Corbusier, architecture is not conceived in the same way as \u201cpaintings\u201d, i.e. from one, forward-looking position, as the observer is moving, more attentive, and can see the work from different positions.<\/p>\n

L\u2019architecture ne se voit pas d\u2019une fois, elle se voit en la parcourant, en se tournant. Les hommes ont des yeux devant et non pas autour de la t\u00eate et ils ont les yeux \u00e0 1.60 m au-dessus du sol, et cela est p\u00e9remptoire pour consid\u00e9rer les \u0153uvres d\u2019architecture.

It is understandable that the observer\u2019s movement with respect to the architectural work observed is essential to their perception and understanding. It seems that this understanding is based on the subjective experience of reality, and that it is through the observation of real situations that the knowledge of architectural space and its use in its setting transpires.<\/p>\n

This leads us to think that, beyond the simple visual experience, architectural realities call upon the individual sensory experience that is realised through the different senses (vision, hearing, touch, etc.) and that its material reality can only be understood through personal psychological and subjective experiences in situ<\/span>. Each individual is therefore called to repeat this experience of materiality through their own body, their own sensory abilities and their own experience.<\/p>\n

It can be concluded that understanding \u201carchitecture\u201d in its real dimensions is linked to the experience of the moving body in built environments.<\/p>\n

This is why the interest of the study trip in architecture lies in the construction of the personal, sensory, emotional and referential path of the future architects.<\/span> This experience is crucial to the emergence of architectural creativity, as future designers are confronted with the constructed reality of architecture.<\/p>\n

Trips are scheduled throughout the student\u2019s studies in architecture, with national and international destinations directly linked to their study programmes and thematic architectural workshops.<\/span> They are partially funded by the Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning, which offers aid to each student, and according to the chosen destination, to encourage and assist them in their discovery and training.<\/p>\n
