Conference by Côme Rollin, Olivier Thomas and Mathieu Volkovitch, Amor Immeuble
"[...] The Amor Immeuble group of architects is concerned with the material conditions of the world as it is: fragmented, senseless, saturated by the innumerable objects we produce but, above all, discard. Their awareness of the inexorable scarcity of raw materials is matched by a vertigo in the face of unsuspected deposits of repressed things,
[...] "Resource objects" rather than "found objects", they are less one-offs than series, indicative not of scarcity but of the bygone abundance of our modern, industrial past. [...] At a distance from current doctrines of reuse, recycling or up-cycling, which often reduce resources to their mere technical performance with a view to their exploitation, Amor Immeuble's proposals combine the poetic and political, cultural and aesthetic dimensions of the fragments they manipulate in order to release their full architectural power."

Visit the Cheese factory HERE
Located in the commune of Darnétal near Rouen (76), the École nationale supérieure d'architecture de Normandie has been housed since 1984 in a former elastic strap factory, the Lucien Fromage factory, which bears witness to the architecture of the late 19th century, in the heart of a 2.5 hectare park characteristic of the landscape model. The building, rehabilitated by the architect Patrice Mottini, now offers 4,000 m2 of floor space dedicated to the teaching of architecture.

RETURNED 06 - Situation
Until January 5, 2026, Rouen's Musée des Beaux-Arts is hosting a major exhibition dedicated to Maxime Old, an architect, cabinetmaker and decorator renowned for his emblematic contributions to the city. This retrospective highlights his work and influence in the field of decorative arts.
An innovative partnership with the École nationale supérieure d'Architecture de Normandie
In parallel, the S6 Situation workshop, led by Sophie Cambrillat, Dominique Lefrançois and Kacha Legrand, engaged 3rd-year students in an original project: to design furniture inspired by the work of Maxime Old, adapted to the museum's contemporary uses. The furniture created questions postures, interactions and uses in a public museum space.
Modular creations to rethink the museum as a living space
The students imagined modular, flexible pieces - chairs, sofas, drawer units - that promote conviviality, equality of speech and invite discovery. Inspired in particular by the African palaver chair, this furniture invites a renewed museum experience, where space becomes a place for exchange and sharing.
"Le Laboratoire Maxime Old
The museum offers "Le Laboratoire Maxime Old," a dedicated space displaying furniture, models, and documents from its collaboration withENSA Normandie. This laboratory invites visitors to rethink the museum's functions through the lens of student creativity and the dialogue between past and present.
Teaching team: Sophie Cambrillat (architect), Dominique Lefrançois (sociologist) and Kacha Legrand (visual artist)
Student team: Hippolyte Alix, Arthur Bossard, Fannie Cabrespine, Tessa Debas, Onésime Doffagne, Axelle Donnet, Margot Gaillard, Camille Giraudon, Baptiste Harang, Zoé Joseph Dit Choisnard, Axel Laguerre, Louis Lanier, Clémence Martin, MERGAULT Charlotte Mergault, Camille Navarro, Thibaut Peuvrel, Lujin Sahloul, Corentin Terzi
