Meeting – Let's change the landscape! The ecological upturn

Tuesday, February 10, 2026, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. – Jean Duminy Amphitheater –

Speakers: Gaëlle des Déserts, coordinator of the Post-Oil Landscapes Collective, and Joséphine Billey, landscape architect at the Le Havre – Seine Estuary Urban Planning Agency and member of the Post-Oil Landscapes Collective.

The Paysages de l’après pétrole collective invites you to the presentation of its book Changeons de paysage ! L’embellie écologique (Let's change the landscape! The ecological upturn), followed by a debate. Faced with the ecological emergency, our landscapes betray a model that is running out of steam—what if we changed course? By territorializing the energy transition, repopulating urban and peri-urban areas with biodiversity, and revitalizing agricultural areas altered by intensification, men and women in France and Europe are shaping new landscapes, those of a sustainable and beautiful transition that knows how to restore the balance between humans and the terrestrial environment.

This book invites us to embrace ecological improvement: to rethink human settlement in our century through sensitive, harmonious, and grounded approaches to landscaping. The PAP collective

Results of the intensive "Resources" S3 course

Videos – Terra Movida

The "Architectural Representation" course, part of the Resources intensive program, is based on the creation of 12 films, each lasting 1 minute and 10 seconds, focusing on raw earth and its uses. Film, with its narration and movement, is a complex mode of representation that must be learned. The issue of narration, already addressed in the first year, is developed here with a new dimension: that of temporality. The aim is to create a narrative with a beginning, middle, and end, while respecting the rhythm of a given piece of music.

Find the dedicated playlist HERE and lots of content fromENSA Normandie including our conferences, meetings, and student projects—on our YouTube channel.

Teaching team: Joseph Altuna, César Canet, Fabrice Drain, Marine Delouvrier, and Catherine Simonet.
