Cette formation a pour but d’inculquer aux étudiants des outils professionnels et avance pour créer des images ou des graphismes à l'aide de logiciels informatiques pour tous types de supports numériques.
Ainsi à travers ses cours vous pouvez crée des images en 2D comme en 3D. En 2D à travers le logiciel AutoCAD qui permet de réaliser des dessins, des conceptions et des modélisations 2D, ensuite il y a ArchiCAD qui permet la création de dessin d'architecture en 3D. Et enfin on a Photoshop qui vous permet d’amélioré vos image et aussi les transformer en des nouvelles images.
L'infographiste est donc reconnu comme un créatif, doué d'un talent artistique certain.

Petit groupe de travail permettant de consolider tes bases en projet d'architecture !

Ce cours propose un espace de travail collectif dédié au développement des projets d’architecture. À travers des discussions, des analyses et des exercices ciblés, les étudiants apprennent à structurer leur démarche de conception, à clarifier leurs intentions et à développer une méthode de travail rigoureuse. L’accompagnement vise à renforcer la compréhension des enjeux du projet, à améliorer les outils de représentation et à favoriser l’autonomie dans le processus de conception.

(prix pour le groupe complet, n'hésite pas à inviter des amis d'archi, maximum de 5 élèves)

Pour me présenter ...
Je partage aujourd’hui mon activité entre la pratique professionnelle et l’enseignement universitaire à l'ULB.
Actuellement chez Pierre Blondel Architectes à Bruxelles, j'ai l'habitude de travailler les questions liées aux projets d'équipements et logements collectifs. Cette expérience me permet d’apporter à mes élèves une approche concrète, méthodique et directement liée aux réalités du métier. En parallèle, je suis assistante universitaire à l’ULB pour le cours de mathématiques, et chargée pédagogique pour les cours de projets, géométrie euclidienne et géométrie descriptive.
J’accompagne les étudiants ou futurs étudiants en architecture dans la compréhension des concepts théoriques, leur application en projet et le développement d’une méthode de travail rigoureuse. Mon approche pédagogique est claire, structurée et adaptée au niveau de chacun. Que ce soit pour une remise à niveau, une préparation d’examen ou un accompagnement en projet, mon objectif est de vous donner les outils nécessaires pour gagner en compréhension, en autonomie et en confiance !
