The course follows its traditional schedule of 2 days every 2 weeks over 2 years, is split into 4 semesters and its teachings are grouped into course units.

This course is intended for qualified architects who wish to complement their basic knowledge with specialised and in depth training in the areas of restoration, preservation, showcasing, transformation and re-use of buildings and historic centres. It allows them to acquire the professional skills and analysis capacities that are prerequisites to any form of intervention on existing built areas. It aims to provide architects with a “diagnostic culture” which will enable them to intervene in a variety of areas, from ancient ruins or medieval houses to present-day social housing, while respecting the studied object. It covers the entire architectural, urban and landscape heritage, and provides the corresponding technical, cultural, administrative and legal knowledge.

All courses are provided in French.
