Teaching.

Observe, draw, formulate a question, develop a design. Teaching as collective work on forms and uses.

Studios / courses / supervision

Learn
through design.

From Palermo and Agrigento to Madrid, Enna, Milan and Québec, teaching brings together architectural design, representation, urban culture and interventions in built heritage.

At Université Laval, courses range from introductory drawing and first-year studios to adaptive reuse, design theses and preparation for graduate research.
