Architecture of the Planetary Boundaries

    The Architecture of the Planetary Boundaries postgraduate programme is an intensive one-year training dedicated to equipping students with the knowledge and skills to design architecture that operates within planetary boundaries. While these boundaries impose constraints on societal development, they also provide a framework for thought and action, opening up a vast field of exploration for architectural practice and research.

    The postgraduate programme is open to French and international architects and engineers holding a graduate degree.
