Until December 19, 2025 - 

The "Labyrinthe" fanzine is an editorial project initiated by a collective of doctoral students atENSA Normandie ATE, straddling several statuses—student, researcher, professional, teacher, architect, etc. — with the aim of sharing and promoting an exploratory approach, a transitional, liminal position on the fringes of architectural practice.

In anticipation of the early 2026 issue, a call for contributions is open to all, focusing on three areas of work:

the BEAUTIFUL understood as what is true, what is art, what is human... the experience that can transform us and the world;
the RAW, understood as that which is in its original state, little or not transformed;
the LIVING, understood as that which is the object of all fantasies.

MULTIFORM proposals must be submitted by December 19, 2025 (finalized proposals).
