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.

Since last October, the École nationale supérieure d'architecture de Normandie has had a scheme to encourage the emergence of innovative entrepreneurship in the field of architecture. This one-year support programme is aimed at architecture graduates or collectives. Alann Bourgeard and Paul de Cathelineau are the winners of this first session.

The École nationale supérieure d'architecture de Normandie is hosting Chantiers Commun. Architects with different backgrounds will share their experiences and talk about their daily lives, whether they work as project managers in rural areas, are involved in serving local authorities and residents within a CAUE or are experimenting in the field, as is the case with Territoires Pionniers.

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).

Congratulations to Paul de Cathelineau, graduate ofENSA Normandie, and winner, alongside Mikhalis Montarnier, Theodossis Montarnier, and Kevin Michels, of the Europan 16 competition with the SYMBIOTIC BOOM! project – Bassens site, Bordeaux Métropole.

THE PROJECT

The state of the Anthropocene is critical, but not lost. Bassens represents a means to rebuild a more sustainable, attractive and inclusive society. At the crossroads of biotic and abiotic infrastructures, the industrial-port territory has the potential to transcend an economy of ownership into an economy of use, thanks to generous land and logistics infrastructures. To rethink an urbanised Gaia, we must reintegrate collaborative intelligence into human and natural systems. The result is a symbiotic economy where each element is valued for its potential rather than its immediate value. SYMBIOTIC BOOM! seeks resilience. Through functional hybridization, what is already there can become welcoming. With the 'right to use', citizens are united in the reconstruction of social capital.
