Architecture & Design

Learn how to define, explore, conserve, utilize and manage cultural heritage. In recent decades the sustainable conservation of cultural heritage has become a crucial global challenge. In this context, the trend towards largescale urbanization raises questions as to how new development can take place which respects and maintains the intrinsic values and unique qualities which have been handed down from previous generations, particularly within urban areas.

Art and Culture

Architecture structures our daily lives. It shapes our homes, streets, neighborhoods, cities and more. But who gets to create and occupy these spaces? In the United States, a long history of anti-Black racism has created spatial inequalities that are built into the physical environment and erased the stories of Black architects and communities. Reimagining Blackness and Architecture explores the relationship between architecture and Blackness as an identity and a lived experience.

Humanities

Learn fundamental principles of architecture — as an academic subject or a professional career — by studying some of history’s most important buildings. Architecture engages a culture’s deepest social values and expresses them in material, aesthetic form. This course will teach you how to understand architecture as both cultural expression and technical achievement. Vivid analyses of exemplary buildings, and hands-on exercises in drawing and modeling, will bring you closer to the work of architects and historians.

Ce MOOC est une introduction aux notions de base de mécanique des structures en architecture. L’équipe pédagogique a souhaité renouveler l’approche de l’enseignement des structures en tenant compte des profonds changements en matière d’apprentissage des étudiants, mais elle n’en a pas pour autant abandonné les exigences de rigueur indispensables aux notions abordées. Cette approche est sensible et progressive, et partira des propres intuitions de chacun pour aller étape par étape vers la compréhension des phénomènes physiques en jeu.
