Launch of the rehabilitation of the park's workshops

The École nationale supérieure d'architecture de Normandie has benefited from an exceptional financial package from the Government's stimulus plan for its energy renovation. After 10 months of studies, the rehabilitation of the workshops in the park has been launched. Built in 1998 by the architect Patrice Mottini, this building was nominated for the prestigious "Equerre d'Argent" award. Its "Remarkable Contemporary Architecture" label is currently being processed. Condemned in 2013 for non-compliance, the building will be returned to its original use, teaching and research in architecture. The glazed floors will provide optimum working conditions for the researchers of the ATE laboratory (29 researchers, 14 doctoral students, 2 staff). The large studio will be reconfigured as a digital room for distance learning, colloquia and meetings in hybrid format. Finally, the basement will be enlarged and lit to provide a platform for work on eco-construction, pending the construction of an experimental hall.

For their "Co-Living Archi" project

ENSA Normandie ATE winners of the "Committed to Tomorrow's Housing" call for projects

"Co-Living Archi", a project designed by and for students
The project consists of creating student accommodation on the site of the École nationale supérieure d'architecture de Normandie, itself located in the commune of Darnétal. The design will be carried out in conjunction with the students of the school in order to imagine types of accommodation adapted to their use and their residential path (single room/flat share/couple/young professionals).

A mix of uses
Business premises are also planned on the ground floor, allowing for a mix of uses, particularly in connection with the "La Fruitière" incubator run byENSA Normandie.

Eco-design research
The project will be supported by the research carried out by the ATE laboratory, with its expertise in the field of eco-construction

Videoconferencing - Projected territories

16h00 -

As part of the S08 lecture course: Architecture, city and territory

After a brief return to the legacy of FL Omlsted, which inspires Michel Desvigne's practice, the presentation goes through a series of projects at different territorial scales, notably in several port and river cities. Amongst other things, the questions of the reconversion and renaturation of vast commercial and industrial sites, the management of rainwater, the continuity of structuring vegetation, the deployment of soft transport routes, etc. are raised.

Michel Desvigne is an internationally recognised landscape architect who has developed projects in more than twenty-five countries. His work helps to make visible and enhance landscapes, to understand the mechanisms at work that give them form, and to act on these mechanisms to transform landscapes and give them meaning. In 2011, he was awarded the Grand Prix de l'Urbanisme for his contribution and reflection on the city and the territory. In 2014, he was awarded the European Prize for Urban Public Space for his project to restore the Old Port of Marseille.

Conference - The coastline in the face of climate change and sea level rise: between nature and society

00 – Jean Duminy Amphitheater –

As part of the EU 1 lecture course: "The coastline: tourism and climate change

The conference proposed by Professor Stéphane Costa will address three main issues:
- The general functioning of the coastline and the current problems of erosion and flooding by the sea
- Current management methods
- The consequences of climate change and the resulting rise in average sea level, which will impose new ways of living on the coast and territorial recomposition.

Stéphane Costa is a professor at the University of Caen Normandy, director of the UMRCNRS 6266 IDEES Caen Geophen laboratory, and co-chair of the Normandy IPCC. His research topics focus on natural hazards in coastal areas (erosion, flooding, climate change).
