Motiver et développer le sens critique des étudiants par les méthodes d'apprentissage actives

Teaching technical subjects in a school of architecture is not easy. The paper summarises a series of lectures given by the author where the problem of structural instability is introduced through the observation and study of the behavior of a real object. Through these lectures, the author also wants to stimulate the critical thinking and creativity of the students. (Paper is in French).
