"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?

Skin of Glass follows director Denise Zmekhol's journey after discovering that her father's most famous work as an architect, a modernist glass skyscraper in the heart of São Paulo known as Pele de Vidro ("Skin of Glass"), had been occupied by hundreds of unhoused people. Roger Zmekhol had designed the building for corporate offices, but in 1964, just as it was nearing completion, a military coup allowed the government to seize the building. The Pele de Vidro was used as a federal police station before being abandoned in 2003. Zmekhol traces the shape of Brazil's recent history through these changing forms of use. The film delicately blends the personal and the political in a meditation on displacement, inequality and loss.
