Call for entries - Chantiers - matières & outils : l'architecture mise en œuvre

The cross magazine opens a call for articles for its 8th issue on the theme of Chantiers - matières & outils : l'architecture mise en œuvre.
This issue is coordinated by Marie Gaimard, lecturer at ENSA Normandie and researcher at ATE, Gilles-Antoine Langlois, professor at ENSA Paris-Val-de-Seine and researcher at EVCAU and Léonore Losserand, lecturer at ENSA Paris-Val-de-Seine and researcher at EVCAU.

This call for papers is based on the hypothesis that an understanding of materials, tools and the architectural worksite can help us to grasp the way in which the architectural object has been constituted over time. It is proposed to explore this reflection along three lines, at several scales and in all eras and geographical zones:

1/ The construction site as an ephemeral space and time for implementation ;

2/Thesite's permanent or temporary tools, which are sometimes modified or even created on site;

3/ The worksite as a place where materials are formed and deformed.

Articles must be submitted by June 15, 2024.
