Divided into several groups, they shared an architectural and urban inventory of the south-eastern entrance to the city, a strategic positioning and initiated a series of ideas for the end of the semester.

Harry Durimel, Mayor of Pointe-à-Pitre, was attended by Sylvie Adélaïde, Cabinet Director, and Marie-Chantal Francillette, Director General of City Services, Michèle Robin-Clerc, Deputy Director of Urban Planning, Patrick Lebris, Head of the Historic Monuments Department of the DAC, as well as Marie-Noëlle Martial of the DAC and Kathy Louis-Thérèse, Rosy Jalce-Bambuck and Sébastien Manlus of the City of Pointe-à-Pitre.

The aim is to share what drives and underpins our architectural practice at Atelier HBAAT (Heleen Hart and Mathieu Berteloot) through the presentation of projects for the transformation of existing buildings. "In the course of these modest projects, the HBAAT studio has honed a language in line with the regionalism theorized by historian and critic Kenneth Frampton. It's an approach that applies to everyday architecture, without disarming in the face of the difficulty of bringing these projects to fruition in these territories with their uncertain economies.
With each new project, the studio pursues the same goal: to save on finishing touches - plastering, painting, tiling - which detract from the essence of the project, require maintenance, and eat up money that could be spent on a garden, more floor space, a growing program (...)".

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.
