Bamboo is an ecological material. It can store carbon, provide ecosystem services, contribute to soil and water management. Moreover, bamboo has become the cultural symbol of many regions and has long been associated with everyday life. After being long forgotten and considered the "poor man's wood", bamboo has recently made a comeback on the design scene. With its durability and versatility, bamboo is available to us to develop ecological design concepts.

Aristotle defines economy as the art of managing a household. Ernst Haeckel defines ecology as the interaction of living beings within an environment, seen as a shared household, a co-ownership. One definition of an architect could be one who, through in-depth study - formal or informal - has addressed the question of habitat and inhabitation; the interaction between living beings, and the physical reality of their shared envelope. Does such a "training" prepare one to be more lucid about ecological issues on the scale of a landscape, a country, a planet? This is the question that Lionel Devlieger's conference will address, bringing arguments in favor of, but also against, this postulate.

Lionel Devlieger is an engineer-architect and historian. He is co-founder of Rotor, a Brussels-based organization specialized in the study of current material culture.
Rotor promotes the debate on issues related to resources, waste and obsolescence in the building sector through research projects, exhibitions, conferences and publications. Rotor also coordinates large-scale dismantling operations, collaborates on architectural projects and carries out design projects.
Lionel Devlieger has taught at universities in Europe and the United States (UC Berkeley, TU Delft, Columbia University, AA School, among others). He is co-author of Deconstruction and Reuse, 2018, a textbook on the reuse of building elements. Since September 2021, he is an associate professor at the Department of Architecture and Urban Planning at Ghent University, where he teaches, among other things, the history of circular design and modern building ecologies.

The Alumni Normandie Architecture association offersENSA Normandie studentsENSA Normandie meet local professionals, ask them questions about the world of work, and forge initial links between the academic and professional worlds. What are their visions and practices in the profession? Organizational structures, management, career development, job interviews, and the regulatory framework for work are just some of the topics covered during this first speed dating event.

After receiving exceptional funding of €6.6 million from the recovery plan,ENSA Normandie once again won a call for projects: "Resilience 2," launched last October by the State Property Directorate. This call for projects is part of the energy efficiency plan. This plan aims in particular to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions, starting with better management of state-owned buildings, the largest energy consumer in France.
More than 5,600 applications were submitted, 1,000 of which were selected, including that of the Normandy School of Architecture.

Three projects selected for a total of €867,000

- Insulation and replacement of the Palomar gallery windows, located on the 2nd floor of the building
- Replacement of the exterior woodwork in the Great Hall
- Installation of a building management system to supervise and control the heating and ventilation systems, ensuring that they operate in the most efficient and economical manner

This government energy conservation plan aims to reduce our energy consumption by 10% by 2024, thanks to a collective effort. It is a first step towards achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.

TheENSA Normandie Board of DirectorsENSA Normandie Jean-Baptiste Marie during its meeting on Friday, March 10.

Jean-Baptiste Marie, architect and doctor
Jean-Baptiste Marie is the general director of the Europe des projets architecturaux et urbains. This research and experimentation organization (under the supervision of the Ministry of Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion and the Ministry of Culture) pilots the Platform for Observation of Urban Projects and Strategies (POPSU), the Coubertin research program on the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, as well as the Europan competition and the Engagés pour la qualité du logement de demain program. He is the author of a dozen books on architecture and cities in the twentieth century and has recently published Architectes et ingénieurs face au projet at Éditions du Moniteur.

Committed to the transmission of architecture, and invested in higher education and research in architecture

Jean-Baptiste Marie wants to raise awareness of the School's thinking on the future of architectural education as high as possible, in response to the challenges of climate change and, more broadly, the crises we are currently facing.
ENSA Normandie alreadyENSA Normandie a wealth of knowledge in the construction of carbon-neutral buildings, bio- and geo-sourced materials, and reuse. It is committed to providing a rich educational program that also covers self-construction, the use of renewable energies, and the transformation of existing buildings. These practices, reinforced by the development of digital tools, are also intertwined with ancestral know-how, from a time when "short supply chains" were the norm, and which today constitute a heritage to be seized.

In the Age of Digital Craft -

As technology enables the transformation of natural materials such as timber and stone to give them new properties, what forms should architects give those new materials? This question has intrigued builders, designers and theoreticians since Vitruvius. It reemerged in the^19th century and gained a new dimension with the theories of "defamiliarization" or "making strange" in literature and in art since the 1910s. Postmodern architects in the 1980s were equally concerned with making old forms strange, while with the advent of digital design and fabrications it appeared that all we ever knew about the fit between form and material has been superseded. This lecture contextualizes the creative potential of current uses of transformed materials in light of historic and contemporary built works and texts.

The inauguration of La Fruitière took place on Monday, March 6, atENSA Normandie, to officially present the role of this new business incubator. This event, which brought together incubatees, partners, architects, and entrepreneurs, served as a reminder that this initiative promotes the emergence of innovative business projects in the broad field of architecture.
La Fruitière ensures continuity betweenENSA Normandie the professional sphere. The existence of this incubator opens students' minds to the possibilities for career paths. Indeed, entrepreneurship in architecture is often associated with the creation of an architectural firm that carries out project management, whereas many other business models remain to be discovered. This gives students food for thought and allows them to be creative in imagining their future.
