An architect makes places that welcome people. As part of the "Body of Possibilities" intensive in the first year of Architecture, students explore different representations of the body in art.
Make-up, disguises and camouflage have been practiced by men and women throughout history, depending on their culture, as a means of escaping reality. White, black and red were used to decompose the face of one's partner and reconstruct a troubling figure. At a time when self-image is a quest, turning the selfy on its head through grimacing and grimace is an attempt to question what is at stake in this self-representation.

Semester 1 - Intensive Visual Arts "The body of possibilities
On Friday, December 13, 2024, teams of architecture students fromENSA Normandie engineering students from Unilasalle took part in a Hackathon day organized by the Normandy Chamber of Agriculture, in partnership with AC3A (Association of Atlantic Arc Chambers of Agriculture).
During this day devoted to the European SCALE UP project, they developed proposals for innovative bio-sourced products for the building industry, in groups of 5, pairing architects and engineers. Numerous avenues were opened up, covering prefabricated earth and reed load-bearing block systems, watertight joint solutions and mycelium panels.
Congratulations to the winning teams:
Group 2: Angèle Bertot and Sixtine Le Compte – Unilasalle – with Baptiste Menniti, Antoine Lair, and Lorill Langlais – ENSA Normandie Group 3: Paul-Emile Villemur and Armand Mirianon – Unilasalle – with Tom Dalençon, Chloé Maheut, and Baptiste Ponsard – ENSA Normandie

Designing coastal resilience
Friday, December 6, 2024 at 10:30 a.m. - Salle Viollet-le-Duc - France
Atelier Iris Chervet blends architecture, urban planning and landscape through a cross-disciplinary approach in which attention to natural environments takes precedence over the organization of built environments.
The aim is to re-establish the essential relationship between man and his territory, by designing "inhabited environments". The interweaving of scales, from large territories to local uses, makes it possible to imagine a symbiotic relationship between city and landscape, and to design the resilience of territories most exposed to risks, in particular coastal areas. The workshop draws on geography as a fundamental basis for urban planning, enabling us to project the transformation of territories in the light of current and future climate change.
Teacher: Valter Balducci and Gwenaëlle Ruellan
As part of the urban project workshop "Cabourg. De la ville balnéaire vers la ville naturelle côtiere", S07, "L'architecture de la ville et du territoire" field of study.
To create a national reference center for low-impact construction based on reuse.
Construction and public works waste accounts for 70% of national waste, including 25% from buildings, and the building sector in France emits 25% of the greenhouse gases responsible for climate change. To drastically reduce this impact, we need to make do with what's already there: existing buildings and materials. Private and public players, as well as secondary and higher education establishments in the Normandy region, have announced the creation of the GRAND CHANTIER association in Le Havre, with the aim of reducing the environmental impact of the construction sector for maximum social benefit, based on the reintroduction and massification of reuse as a predominant practice.
GRAND CHANTIER brings together players such as the Université Le Havre Normandie, the École nationale supérieure d'architecture de Normandie, Colas France Agence Bâtiment, the social housing company Logeo Seine (Groupe Action Logement), the PERMAC association, Hangar Zéro and the Archipel Zéro architectural firm. The aim is to encourage the emergence of a construction materials recycling industry in the Seine Axis region.
Grand Chantier Board of Directors
- Co-presidents: Logeo Seine represented by Marie NGUYEN KHOA and École nationale supérieure d'architecture de Normandie represented by Raphaël LABRUNYE.
- Secretaries: Colas France Agence Bâtiment represented by Frédéric BRAULT and PERMaC represented by Pierre BOUYSSET.
- Treasurers: Frédéric DENISE, architect, and Université Le Havre Normandie represented by Luc VERDURE.
The Atelier S7 teaching team(Joseph Altuna, Dominique Lefrançois and Gabriella Trotta-Brambilla) is a finalist for the Prix de l'Innovation Pédagogique Jean-François Fiorina, organized by the Conférence des Grandes Écoles, for the "Ateliers hors-les-murs" organized with UniLaSalle in Rives-en-Seine and Duclair. These immersive workshops mobilize multidisciplinarity and collaboration with local players to train the future designers of territorial transition in Normandy.
Friday, November 22, 2024, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. - Salle Tadao Ando -
After a performance on the theme of shadow, students in the "le corps des possibles" workshop continue their exploration of the body as a tool of representation. Today's proposal is based on the deconstruction of one's partner's face through drawing and make-up colors (black, white, red). Each recomposed face will be filmed, during the execution of a slight movement, and photographed against a black background.
What mirror will these faces hold up to us?
