[French] Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Paris la Villette (ENSAPLV) 

Exchange Agreement signed in 2004
In France, since the establishment of the Academy of Architecture in the 17th century, the study and teaching of architecture and the training of architects have been centralized by the state. Since the 19th century, under the new system of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts (Art University), it has become the center of architectural education in the world. The Ecole Nationale Superieure d’Architecture de Paris la Villette is a direct descendant of this new system.
