In association with teachers fromENSA Normandie, the Hangar Zéro team invites you to a videoconference (webinar) on July 8 to discuss its project, experiences, ambitions, challenges, and solutions. This first conference will mark the start of a partnership between Hangar Zéro and the school of architecture, which will enable various future initiatives to be implemented (participatory projects, internships, educational activities, research, etc.), with the first ones starting this summer.

An envelope design described as innovative for two artists' houses. A tailor-made die that adds value to a coastal plant heritage. A multi-functional design that extends to the material, the construction system, the die and even the strategic design of a foundry. Tomorrow, walls simplified to a minimal and biophilic expression: a "hearth skin"! Wouldn't innovation finally be the effectual process linked to the contemporary use of vernacular materials; reed, wood?

Conference organised by the ATE laboratory as part of the Fabrique Echelle 1, Experimenting with the Reed

The theme considered is the differences between central and peripheral spaces in terms of design and heritage in the city (re)built in the 20th century.
the city (re)constructed in the 20th century. What are the respective modes of perception, experience and action for the actors, residents, users and visitors in these spaces?
spaces? What interactions, how to think about the interfaces and intermediate spaces of the in-between?

Organization: ATE research units (Patrice Gourbin), ENSA Normandie ESO-Caen, University of Caen-Normandy

During the Trente Glorieuses, several large French cities were governed and represented by 'leaders' such as Jacques Chaban-Delmas in Bordeaux, Georges Frêche in Montpellier or Pierre Mauroy in Lille. The power of these personalities was based, of course, on their personal charisma, but also on their capacity to be both strongly inserted in society and local networks and able to represent the interests of their city on a national scale, based on national mandates, sometimes of the highest order. The gradual construction of the French inter-municipal system has also, at least initially, strengthened their power, by allowing them to position themselves as 'unifiers' on subjects that are rather consensual at the local level, such as the reclamation of industrial wastelands through urban projects or outreach policies.
