We are pleased to announce the publication of issue 31 of the magazine Études normandes designed in partnership with the École nationale supérieure d'architecture de Normandie, under the direction of Patrice Gourbin.

This double issue focuses on knowledge and recognition of Reconstruction in Normandy.

The contributions gathered in this double issue extend the research conducted atENSA Normandie post-World War II reconstruction. They come from institutional representatives, experts, and residents, and reflect current trends in historical knowledge and heritage recognition. They also seek to imagine relevant methods for adapting this already ancient architecture to current constraints of comfort and use. Together, the articles form a "research-action" project that observes, participates in, and is committed to the evolution of its subject of study.

A public presentation of the issue is scheduled for Thursday October 24, 2024 at 6pm at the Maison de l'Architecture-Le Forum (48 rue Victor Hugo, 76000 Rouen).

Plants have taken root in the reading room over the last few days. The librarians have set themselves a challenge: to green the Pôle documentaire. In 2024-2025, a nursery of cuttings will be set up in our spaces, and why not take part in this greening by bringing us cuttings? And why not a seed library? And why not a green wall? If you come up with any other ideas over the vacations... we'll be waiting for you in September!
