Teaching Unit ARCH-P444 - Master 1 & 2
Teachers: Denis Derycke, Michel Lefèvre, Maurizio Cohen
Between 1997 and 2017, the laboratory proposedd to Master students an exercise that involved analyzing an architectural object and then translating this analysis into a short film using 3D imagery. This work aimed to develop two key skills: first, the ability to "read" architecture, and second, the capacity to construct, structure, and effectively communicate a precise message through a specific medium (enhanced 3D images, video clips, music, voice-overs, etc.).
In 2010-2011, students analyzed projects by Jean Prouvé, the French architect and designer interested in ironwork and prefab housing.
The exercise followed this structure:
Below, we highlight some particularly accomplished productions. These works, which must be considered within the context of the technical possibilities available during their creation, skillfully combine a sharp analytical reading of the studied object with a relevant use of representation methods. Additionally, they feature a narrative structure that effectively communicates the message in a fluid manner, resulting in evident cinematic quality in the work.
