The IMVT is not simply the sum of three existing schools (architecture, urban planning, landscape). The Institute is a unifying entity. Its purpose is to develop relationships, exchanges, and collaborations between the three institutions, as well as with a broader geographical and disciplinary environment.
The Institute is primarily aimed at Marseille and its region. However, it also intends to have an influence on a European and Mediterranean scale. As such, the Institute may welcome students, researchers, and partners from other schools or institutions who are concerned with the Mediterranean world, its developments, and transformations.
The Institute has two main objectives: teaching and research. Teaching requires access to numerous spaces with varying degrees of temporary use (for classes, seminars, design studios, etc.). Research requires a more permanent use of laboratories, researchers, and doctoral students, whom the Institute will train and host to fulfill its ambitions.EUmies Awards Architecture & Emerging
