From Sweden to France, this conference traces a journey of exploration through built heritage. Isolated ruins, vernacular constructions, modern architecture, and listed buildings: it questions the presence of these architectures and what they reveal about their construction logic, their values, and what they can bring to contemporary architectural practice.

"Disarming Concrete, Re-inhabiting the Earth," Collection ZONES Éditions La Découverte, 2025, Léa Hobson

Today, it is no longer a secret that concrete is one of the most polluting materials on the planet. More concrete is produced than plastic. Faced with this weapon of ecological disaster, architect and activist Léa Hobson deciphers the system behind it, pointing out its flaws on the one hand and our strengths to resist it on the other. A manifesto for re-inhabiting the earth.

Prior to the graduation ceremony, there will be a meeting with Léa Hobson, architect, scenographer, and patron of the class of 2025, who will be in conversation with Guillaume Nicolas, lecturer and researcher atENSA Normandie.

Léa Hobson is a French-English architect, scenographer, author, and activist. She attaches particular importance to existing structures; in architecture, she works on renovation projects, the diagnosis of old buildings, and the practice of reuse. As a scenographer, she works with dance and theater companies and on exhibition scenography. Léa occasionally leads workshops for students and young audiences on ecological, architectural, and scenographic issues. She writes and co-writes articles and books. In 2025, she published her first book, "Désarmer le béton, ré-habiter la terre" (Disarming Concrete, Re-inhabiting the Earth), in the ZONES collection, published by Éditions la Découverte.

Wednesday, April 29, 2026, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. – Jean Duminy Lecture Hall.

What lessons can be learned from everyday architecture, and how can we reconsider existing structures and their surroundings as a resource for projects? How can we turn the ordinary into the extraordinary? This reflective and forward-looking approach invites us to consider the architecture that surrounds us as a whole, rather than solely through the prism of monuments or exceptional buildings.

This new paradigm of memory, architecture, and urban planning will be illustrated using the example of the mining basin of Nord and Pas-de-Calais, where monumental slag heaps contrast with the mundane workers' houses. In a state of profound upheaval since the closure of the mines, the experience of this site, listed by UNESCO in 2012, invites us to rethink the conservation and heritage status of a living, inhabited space comprising 27,000 miners' homes.

Who benefits from architecture? From products to resources, this investigation will look at three of the minerals most commonly used in construction, yet least visible; the most critical according to the European Commission; the most controversial according to certain social and ecological ethics, yet the most indispensable; those whose origin is forgotten or obscured: nickel, copper, and aluminum. An investigation that combines economics and geography in a globalized world.

Despite being awarded the "Remarkable Contemporary Architecture" label, the garden city of La Butte Rouge in Chatenay-Malabry remains under threat today. Built over a period of more than thirty years and comprising around 4,000 social housing units constructed in seven phases, it is a major work with international resonance, both for its urban qualities and for the model of social life it has helped to develop in a harmonious relationship between architecture and landscape. A pioneering model for a bioclimatic city, it provides the ideal foundation for a city to be reinvented, as a unique refuge offering a pleasant place to live in the face of climate change.

The presentation/round table discussion proposed as part of the "Butte Rouge, terrestrial landscape" call for projects, led by Jacques Deval, Marcos Carvalho-Canto, and Adrien Hénocq, contributes to halting the process of destruction/reconstruction/renovation/densification/gentrification of the Butte Rouge promoted by the municipality.

Presented by: Jacques Deval, Landscape Architect, Marcos Carvalho-Canto, Researcher at the Cité de l'Architecture et du Patrimoine (City of Architecture and Heritage), and Adrien Hénocq, TPCAU teacher atENsa Normandie.

In person only.
