TONGJI UNIVERSITY

This programme is the result of a collaboration initiated during the year 2002 by ENSA-Versailles and Caup Tongji.Many workshops, issues and students exchanges have been organized in this frame.The double master degree is a new step in the collaboration between our two institutions. Entitled «Ecological Urbanism», it is focused in the theme of metropo-lization and urban ecology, the two main research and design axis of our school.

The curriculum is organized in two years: the first at ENSA-Versailles, which is now part of the Great Paris project and the second year in Shanghai at the famous University of Tongji.

The students are selected on their Bachelor results, their motivation as well as their proficiency in English. The curriculum offers them the opportunity to obtain a master diploma in architecture of ENSA-Versailles and a master diploma in urban planning of Caup Tongji. The number of students is limited to 12 ( 6 French and 6 Chinese).The courses are in English.

We are glad to welcome this year the pioneers of this master program, which we hope, will be a great success also for the relationships between our two countries.

Title : Mobile Metropolis

Brief course description : In association with the research project upon the energy transition (IMR) and the Institute for sustainable mobility (VeDeCOM), this design studio experiments new concepts of individual mobility and its implication on urban design. As all urban and territorial concepts and fantasies are based on collective transport systems claiming sustainable mobility, this studio assumes the hypothesis that a green individual mobility will generate a different urban fabric much closer to what is today negatively called the sprawl. On the urban scale, the students will work on the spatial consequences of an intensified individual mobility, and on the architectural scale, they will develop different projects on the multimodal interconnection with other transport systems.

Content : Design studio on the spatial and urban consequences of decarbonised individual mobility / Lectures of different researchers upon new forms of mobility and urbanism

Title : Energetic Metropolis

Brief course description :

With an interdisciplinary approach, this seminar deals with the ecological condition of the energy transition for the field of architecture and urbanism. Through the common lecture of paradigmatic texts such as « Limits to Growth » (Dennis Meadows) or « The Third Revolution » (Jeremy Rifkin), and the analyses of projects such as the proposals for Grand Paris, the students will find their specific themes on which they will develop their master thesis. Besides this content, the seminar will give them the fundamentals of scientific research and how this theoretic work can be useful for their design projects.

Content : Theory seminar on the ecological condition of architecture and urbanism / Lecture of paradigmatic texts on the energy transition / Basics on the scientific research in architecture and urbanism / Lectures of invited personalities

Requirements : Structured and typewritten draft (about 20 pages) of the theme which the student wants to develop for his/her master thesis including an organised bibliography.

Title : Matter and materiality

Materiality is one of the primary concerns of architecture. The architectural project becomes architecture when it meets his physical condition through materials. This "materialisation" process of architecture doesn't occur today the same way it did in the past. Historical materials are being replaced by "products". Technical performances and building codes tend to unify and standardize building techniques and material industry at a global scale. New building techniques tend to dissociate structure and envelope while we enter en era of recycling. Meanwhile the issue of materiality as sensorial field remains a criterion of architectural and urban quality. Towards what materiality does contemporary architecture yearns? This program proposes to explore the theme of materiality by confronting a variety of its aspects involving architecture: sensorial, economical, technical, symbolic, social....

Title : Initiation Search Readings 1 : Critical Inquiry

Brief course description: This seminar is focused on developing the tools of critical thinking through an analysis of critical architectural discourse in the Anglophone world, and in particular in North America and Great Britain in the second half of the 20th century. The relationship between history, theory and criticism will be addressed through the study of three authors whose hybrid approaches to criticism make recourse to history and theory. The seminar will be an opportunity to define and develop analytical methods and frameworks of thought, which can be used as vehicles of critical thinking and writing.

Content : Following an initial investigation into the nature of architectural criticism, we will study the writings of Alan Colquhoun, Robert Maxwell, Colin Rowe and James Stirling. Class will be divided between lectures and reading discussions framed by thematically defined debates. These discussions will be the opportunity for students to develop their own positions within the debates in question.

Requirements : Students will be required to read one essay each week and prepare a short written critical reflection addressing one of the identified thematic debates. This will lead to the writing of a short critical essay by each student at the conclusion of the course.

Title : Scientific tools of research

Brief course description : This course unfolds issues on research concerned with theoretical and scientific context around architectural and urban planning projects and design. It will first look at "instances" at work in and around the project, who they are, what sort of discourse they perform and according to which scientific issues : ie, hard or social sciences. Secondly, Il will give clues about, sources, methods of enquiry, at a moment in which numeric information is moving patterns of research through the extensive use of data and internet. A third tempo of the course will look at the upcoming question of "sustainable city" in the light of the ongoing Detroit experience.

Conten t: The course is organized by means of tutorials in line with the three tempos described: 1) searching Information on an issue, the "said" and "unspoken" 2) organizing research by means of internet, debate on GIS : "a map is not the territory" 3) Exploring the Detroit experiment. There may be one or two visits to planning authorities of the Paris region.

Requirements : Required reading assignments will be held in-class discussion. Fact sheets or backgrounders will be produces on the various topics by students working in pairs. At the end of the semester, pairs of students will prepare a presentation and synthesis on a topic of their choice as a paper (10 pages long) based on items developed throughout the course in which they will be asked to combine scientific research and graphic analysis.

Title: European Architecture and Cities 1890 to Present

Brief course description : This course explores the evolutions and transformations in European architecture and cities since 1890, along three lines of inquiry. First, it will situate architectural history in relationship to the larger social and cultural trends of the time, characterized notably by rapid urbanization, technological innovation, political upheaval and social reform. This implies an understanding of architecture and urban space as material and aesthetic artifacts, but also as social, political and cultural constructs. Second, it will examine the play between convention and invention in architecture and urbanism’s incremental, at times disjointed or contradictory evolution. This approach admits that each building or urban project has a role to play in linking past, present and future. Third, it will study the place of buildings and cities in today’s world through first hand observation and analysis.

Content : The course will be organized into four chronological sections: 1) Confronting Modernity, 1890-1940; 2) Modernist Hegemony, 1940-1965; 3) An Era of Pluralism, 1965-2000; 4) Current Perspectives, 2000-2015. Lectures will be followed by in-class discussion of readings and projects studied. There will be one or two visits to representative sites in the Paris region.

Requirements : Required weekly reading assignments will be the focus of in-class discussion. Each student will be responsible for presenting a reading and relating it to buildings and cities studied in the class. At the end of the semester, pairs of students will prepare a group oral and visual presentation of a selected urban project in its architectural, urban and historical context. Each student will also hand in an individual paper (10 pages long) based on this research. Both the presentation and the paper will combine historical research and graphic analysis. Students will be encouraged to visit the sites under study whenever possible.

Title : Density and Metropolis

Brief course description : The analysis and henceforth the understanding of modern city planning is an integral part of future planning of cities. Cities and especially their density have always been studied and reactions are cyclic in its response to this city density; going from total adverse scheme and large schemes of people going back to the “village” versus a big dense city revival. Cities as Paris and Shanghai or other large cities are made possible on the basis of techniques and their optimizations. The growing of cities and density is thus also a story of modern building techniques. All modern cities have to deal with real time problems of ecology; air pollution, water scarcity, sun, public transport… These themes have an impact on how the city can be built. As a sim city game, we will try to start planning from and with the parameters we need; basic provision of water, acces to food,…. We propose therefore an almost parametric study of the city such as the Grand Paris and its building up with dense vertical nodes. This should lead up not necessarily to a defined result but rather to a set of questions; how are cities local and global at the same time? What means ecology? What is infrastructure? Are cities comparable entities and comparable in density?

Content : Advanced architectural and urban design project Analysis of sites in the Grand Paris area, connected to transportation nodes. Research and lectures on density : high density and vertical density.

Requirements Urban project integrating architectural solutions to density. Analysis via diagrams and texts Master plan, plans, urban sections, 3D models are required.

Title : Towards a meteorological architecture

Brief course description : Climate change is forcing us to rethink architecture radically, to shift our focus away from a purelyvisual and functional approach towards one that is more sensitive, more attentive to the invisible, climate-related aspects of space. Slipping from the solid to the void, from the visible to the invisible, from metric composition to thermal composition, architecture as meteorology opens up additional, more sensual, more variable dimensions in which limits fade away and solids evaporate. The task is no longer to build images and functions but to open up climates and interpretations. At the large scale, meteorological architecture explores the atmospheric and poetic potential of new construction techniques for ventilation, heating, dual-flow air renewal and insulation. At the microscopic level, it plumbs novel domains of perception through skin contact,smell and hormones. Between the infinitely small of the physiological and the infinitely vast of the meteorological, architecture must build sensual exchanges between body and space and invent there new aesthetical philosophies approaches capable of making long-term changes to the form and the way we will inhabit buildings tomorrow.

Between the infinitely small of the physiological and the infinitely vast of the meteorological, architecture must build sensual exchanges between body and space and invent there new aesthetical philosophies approaches capable of making long-term changes to the form and the way we will inhabit buildings tomorrow.
