-- to all enrolled : as agreed, there will be no session on tue oct 20.  next session on tue nov 3.  more to follow by email.  

> Description English

This seminar will mirror the contents of the courses Theory of Architecture 1 and 2; students will be encouraged to audit some of the lectures listed in the TH1 and TH2 syllabus, and they will refer to the same bibliography. After one plenary session, the module will be based on ad-hoc tutorials, ideally coordinated with studio schedules and deadlines; there will also be a final session of oral presentations at the end of term 1 and of term 2. Students will introduce themselves during the plenary session, then attend at least one tutorial to discuss the topic of their final presentations.

> Examination Modalities English

Topics for the final presentations will be freely chosen by the students and agreed by the instructor; they may be developments of theoretical arguments related to projects. The exam is an oral presentation of a duration of around 10-15' per student (individually or in small groups); students will also submit a brief synopsis in writing of their presentations (this will include sources, references, and bibliography).

> Comments English

As thesis preparation course, enrolment in this module is primarily meant for students in the pre-diploma semester of their studies, hence priority will be given to architecture students.

Schedule : meetings on alternate Tuesdays, 10h30-13h00, starting Oct 13.  Extended sessions on dates to be determined based on studio timelines.   Preliminary schedule of sessions:

OCT 13; OCT 20; NOV 17; DEC 1; DEC 15; JAN 12  -- ALL SESSIONS 10:30-13:00
