30 – Jean Duminy Amphitheater –

When we think about the relationship between trees and architects, it is often from the point of view of materials. From the tree, we get wood, from which we build frames, structures, buildings. But beyond this constructive approach, the tree as such can be studied in the relationship that some architects have had with it. Some deform their buildings to magnify this coexistence, others accept that the trees cross the construction, others still conceive their entire project around and thanks to the presence of a tree. This masterclass proposes a collection of singular stories where the living presence of plants transforms the architectural act in its own way.

"A space for a work" - FRAC Normandie

Maude Maris, who graduated from the École des Beaux-Arts de Caen in 2003 and from the Kunstakademie de Düsseldorf (a German art school) in 2010, proposes an exhibition that may remind us of Escher's impossible constructions. You will find 3 drawings among a series of 24.

This exhibition starts from images collected on the internet or in industrial equipment catalogs. Maude Maris assembles and transforms them to keep only the essential configuration.

The artist wanted to keep the spirit of the architectural fantasy tradition, but the infinite spaces gave way to the sober rigor of the housing unit.

The exhibition presents student projects developed within the framework of a partnership between the École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Normandie, the Institut Polytechnique UniLaSalle and several territorial actors led by the Parc naturel régional des Boucles de la Seine Normande. The partnership aims to set up "off-the-wall workshops" in small towns located in the Seine Valley and labeled "Small Towns of Tomorrow".
After Rives-en-Seine, which was the subject of projects by students from both schools during the 2021-2022 academic year, it is the turn of Duclair, a small town within the perimeter of the Rouen metropolis. The projects question the potential for urban development of the town based on the question of natural risks, but also on the resources available to Duclair: the Seine, the Austreberthe, the diversity of its landscapes, its proximity to Rouen, the facilities and public spaces.

12 proposals from architecture students

Twenty-four fifth-year students studying experimentation atENSA Normandie on the Yvetot area, which they knew little or nothing about.
Their research and work led them to reconsider how to develop and design architectural projects, starting with an analysis of a site from thematic perspectives such as water, civic intelligence, biodiversity, heritage, neglected areas, bioresources, and expertise.

Teaching team : Adrien Hénocq and Marina Ramirez - Field of study Experimentation

Partners : La Paysagerie-en-Caux, la MAN, La ville d'Yvetot.

Fifty years after the publication of Learning from Las Vegas, the Yale School of Architecture (New Haven, USA) is dedicating a symposium to Denise Scott Brown. The symposium will focus on the revolutionary studio teaching methods developed by the American architect in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Valéry Didelon, professor atENSA Normandie, will speak at this symposium starting at 6 p.m. (Paris time) and will offer a comparative reading of Denise Scott Brown's writings on Las Vegas and essayist Susan Sontag's writings on Camp sensibility.

The symposium will be available online by registration here.
