In the digital age, where knowledge has become immediately accessible, the amount of information available and the speed with which it is renewed by hypermediatization increases the risk of confusion and superficial apprehension of architecture.
Beyond the immediacy of images, we need to understand the ideas, the vision of the world, the concepts that underpin an aesthetic.
Understand the creative processes that led to the formalization of a design, and which therefore make it impossible to transpose literally to another situation.
This presentation will be based on an analysis of 3 major RCR works that I have designed: the Musée Soulages in Rodez, the Centre d'art de Nègrepelisse and Les Chais Perelada.

Towards the possibility of inclusive territorial development? -
More than half the world's population lives in urban areas, and this figure is set to rise to 66% by 2050 (1), mainly in developing countries. Lima, located in a seismic zone, with a population of over 10 million, is a perfect illustration of the challenges of unplanned urban growth, 93% of which is considered informal (2). This reflection proposes to examine local self-management initiatives that transcend this approach, in order to understand how architects can contribute to a more balanced and inclusive urban development.

Former teacher and Chairman of the Board of Directors
All these activities, combined with a passion for this profession and a thirst for passing it on, led Jean Duminy to create the Institut Européen d'Aménagement et d'Architecture (INEAA) in 1988, and to offer post-graduate training within a network of numerous European higher education and research establishments in the fields of regional planning, urban development and architecture, to learn THE method, HIS METHOD of integrated and participative urban design... In short, a profession that requires a mastery of the systemic, creative, forward-looking and iterative approach! But it's also a passionate profession, because of its complexity: the interplay of players, multi-scalarity, political stakes, regulatory constraints and developments, technical and environmental constraints... A profession which, by its very nature and objective: to interact and modify the Cities of tomorrow for us and our children... it's essential to be both convinced and humble at the same time.
In retirement, Jean Duminy rediscovered "the right to create", as he liked to say. A remarkable watercolorist, in 2001 he escaped to Tuscany to pick up his brushes again and devote himself fully to painting. Necessarily, his watercolors reflect a rich, intense, multifaceted and contrasting life, enriched by his many travels.

Cycle architecture à lire -
00 – Jean Duminy Amphitheater –
The book recounts the birth, development and demise of a magazine that appeared five times between the early and late 1970s, spread beyond any traditional institutional or economic framework, sold a million copies in the U.S. and Europe, and inspired a French version. It provided readers with practical information on the latest research being carried out by the American counterculture on how to live differently: how to build a geodesic dome, make compost or design solar architecture, as well as the latest publications in the practical and scientific fields. The catalog combined an ecological approach with a hippie sensibility and an interest in cybernetics. Paradoxically, it heralded the transformation of our societies by new information technologies.
Caroline Maniaque is an architect with a doctorate in architectural history. Her work focuses on the American countercultures of the 1960s and 1970s. She is the author of Go West! Des architectes au pays de la contreculture, published in 2014.
