For several weeks, students fromENSA Normandie the city, sketchbooks in hand. Facades, windows, doors, corbels, and other architectural features were collected and drawn to create an inventory in the form of a leporello*. Using these architectural fragments gleaned here and there, the students composed "Another City," born of imaginary scenarios, built from identified forms, displaced volumes, and reinvented pieces. Come and discover these imaginary architectures, born out of a workshop supervised by Kacha Legrand and Stéphane Landais, teachers atENSA Normandie. Bachelor's degree students: S01 INSA, S02, S04.

Opening Wednesday, May 28, 7:00 pm

"Data collection, processing, analysis and interpretation".

Organized by the École nationale supérieure d'architecture de Normandie from January 2025, this doctoral seminar aims to contribute to a critical and committed reflection on the methods and tools specific to architectural research, while asserting a strong transdisciplinarity, at the crossroads of human and social sciences, sciences and techniques, and research-creation. It is organized around the presentation, analysis and discussion of documents relating to the practices and theories of architecture, urbanism and landscape. The next session will be devoted to data collection and processing for the thesis. Questions of method arise for the researcher: what criteria should be used to select the data, what tools should be used to classify/process it, and what should be done next for analysis and interpretation?
