The contemporary environmental issues have a high impact on both courses. They are accountable for the social and ecological responsibility of future architects and landscapers. In are ever-changing world the ecological transition is a major subject in are courses and research.
Teaching project & scientific project
The ENSAPL has a research laboratory, the LACTH. 25 researchers, 15 associated researchers and 19 doctorates which are developing interdisciplinary research on the 20th century heritage, the metropolitan landscape or scattered city, 3D printing at a building scale, contemporary processes of conception…
The initiation to architectural and landscaping research is essential from the start of the second cycle for the future of both practices in constant mutation. The works, projects, collaborations and research programs of the research lab in the school, the LACTH, are developing in their four specific domains: Conception, History, territory and materiality. This synergy effort of these activities has for aim the practices by doing research, opening to the doctorate as to accreditations in research.
Teaching project & international opening
The ENSAPL highly recommends international mobility to its students. As of the second year of study and to the doctorate, every student has the possibility to carry out a study mobility and/or a work experience abroad: 60% of students of the ENSAPL use this possibility during their course.
Programs like ERASMUS offer the possibility to students to carry out a study period in a partnered university from 6 months up to 10 months. Bilateral treaties with universities outside of Europe encourage the development of mutual relations also allowing students to do part of their course in a partnered university.
