Cube Competition – Platinum Medal forENSA Normandie

Thanks to the energy savings achieved in its main building,ENSA Normandie awarded the Platinum medal on April 7, 2021. This corresponds to savings of more than 25% at constant climate conditions.

The CUBE competition is an energy saving competition between commercial buildings, organised by theFrench Institute for Building Performance (IFPEB). The principle is to ask candidates to achieve the greatest possible energy savings in their building within one year, compared to a consumption reference based on the three years preceding the competition.

Online presentation - Master urbanité

As part of the Institut d'Urbanisme de Normandie, the URBANITE Master's degree (URBAnisme durable, Numérique, Ingénierie, Transports, Environnement) trains future actors in urban planning, management and development of territories.

It prepares its students to manage and support the transitions facing cities and territories in the broadest sense, in terms of mobility, energy, sustainable development, housing and habitat, resource management, etc., which are now at the heart of their governance and the urban project. It gives a strong place to digital technology as a lever to support the project of more sustainable and more efficient urban territories in order to meet the objectives of improving the quality of life of inhabitants and increasing territorial well-being.

A strong opening to new urban horizons as an asset for the professional integration of young graduates.

Are you looking for a course of study at the end of your bachelor's degree or your 5th year? We invite you to discover the URBANITY course and its professional opportunities during an online presentation session.

Videoconference - "Let's talk about hemp! Properties and implementation".

The Maison de l'architecture de Normandie - le Forum and the CAUE 76 are pleased to offer you a new meeting, as part of the project Biosourced materials in Normandy*: a meeting with Laurent Mouly, Senior Lecturer / École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Normandie and Engineer and Architect / LM Ingénieur.

"Pure architecture means investing in what is durable and qualitative. In short, in what constitutes the heritage value of a building.

The LM Ingénieur agency, created in 2006 by Laurent Mouly, is represented in the "Architecture en fibres végétales d'aujourd'hui" exhibition with two projects in Paris:

BUILDING OF 4 SOCIAL HOUSING UNITS (2014)

Virtual exhibition - "Ways of hybridizing worlds

The exhibition "Manières d'hybrider des mondes" (Ways of hybridizing worlds) brings together 60 2020 Master's degree graduates from Normandy's schools of art and architecture. The plastic, graphic and architectural works of these young artists, designers and State Architect graduates have been selected by art historian and independent curator Matthieu Lelèvre.

After a first edition in 2019 in Rouen, this is the second time that the three higher education establishments of Culture in Normandy - the Higher School of Arts & Media of Caen/Cherbourg, the Higher School of Art and Design Le Havre/Rouen and the National Higher School of Architecture of Normandy - have joined forces to present a wide panorama of the creations of their graduates

Initially scheduled to take place in Caen in November 2020, this exhibition can be visited by clicking here.

You can also find our students on our youtube channel by clicking here.

From 1pm to 2pm online

Videoconference - "Acts and Materials - Resources for Architecture

Act I: The stone

The meeting with Mr. Pépin focuses on the act of transforming matter into a building material and its links with extraction and implementation. In the age of digital cutting, we question the capacity of stone to carry a sensitive dimension of architecture. This is a presentation of the sector, introducing an explanation of the processes and systems of actors from the genesis of the manufacturing process to the architectural design.

Interviews designed and conducted byENSA Normandie AECC students, supported by the "Renewable Natural Resources, Climate & Architecture" chair Ecosystems, climates, and bio-/geo-resources as vectors of architectural and constructional transformation and innovation.
The Architecture, Environment and Constructive Culture study program and its students are launching a series of interviews focusing on the actions and gestures that extract, transform, and implement matter so that it becomes architectural material from the very beginning of a project.
A meeting between ecology and contemporary know-how, this is an investigation into local resource sectors in Normandy.

Screening - "Les Bêtes" by Ariane Doublet

A veterinary practice in Normandy. The work is varied: sometimes city consultations where we treat cats and dogs, sometimes interventions on farms where we take care of cattle, in fear of BSE. In the practice and on the farm, we are confronted with the disease of "animals" and what it reveals. Between these pets and these farm animals, what is our relationship with "The Animals" today?

Cycle of screenings and lectures Via Cinéma. Organised by Anne Philippe and Laurent Sfar, with their undergraduate and graduate students in Visual and Media Arts.
Open to all

Video conference with the director and Jocelyne Porcher, research director at INRA, former breeder (to be confirmed)

Screening - "Go, Toto" by Pierre Creton

In Vattetot-sur-mer, Madeleine's house is visited by a transient marcassin who is about to die. The elegant old lady takes him in, causing trouble in this village on the Normandy coast. Pierre, a neighbour who leads a sedentary life there, films Toto, the new arrival. His tranquillity is disrupted the day he finds Vincent who asks him, despite his aversion to travelling, to accompany him to India to the shrine of the monkey-god Hanumân. Vincent, as if haunted, leaves alone. It is during his absence that Pierre meets Joseph, a solitary peasant. Every morning, Pierre goes to his new friend's house, making day after day

Exhibition - "Plant fibre architecture today

Straw, hemp and reed are all bio-based materials that contribute to the energy performance of new buildings and renovations. Essential for the architecture of tomorrow, bio-based materials contribute to the ecological and social transition. Walls made of hemp-lime or straw bales, bamboo frames, reed roofing and cladding, wicker railings, etc., the exhibition brings together the 50 finalist buildings of the FIBRA Award and reveals materials made of plant fibres with great structural capacities and high thermal and hygrometric performances. As a renewable and fast-growing resource, plant fibres are a real opportunity to store the carbon that our contemporary societies are rejecting en masse.

Production: Agence MUSEO and amàco (Atelier matières à construire)

Curator of the exhibition: Dominique Gauzin-Müller.

Partners: C.A.U.E of Seine-Maritime, La Maison de l’architecture – Le forum, UnilaSalle-Beauvais, ARPE Normandy, andENSA Normandie

Exhibition - "May 68 - Architecture too!

This exhibition invites us to revisit a field of possibilities, the fifteen years (1962/1977) that saw the renewal of education, along with that of architecture, urban planning and the professions associated with them. The refusal of heritage, or at least its evolution, the reinvention of forms and pedagogical content that followed, and finally the hypotheses that were formulated for society and architecture are the main themes that make it possible to analyse the aspiration to do architecture differently.

Exhibition curators: Caroline Maniaque (ENSA Normandie), Eléonore Marantz (Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne) and Jean-Louis Violeau (ENSA Nantes). Set design: Auriane Bernard Guelle.
Based on the original exhibition designed and presented at the Cité de l'Architecture et du Patrimoine for the 50th anniversary of May 1968.

This event was supported by the Ministry of Culture (Bureau de la recherche architecturale, urbaine et paysagère) and the Cité de l'architecture & du patrimoine.
