Europan is a European network of architecture, urban planning and landscape ideas competitions for young designers who care for inhabited environments. An evolution of the French architectural competition Plan Architecture Nouvelle (PAN), from its inception in the late 1980s, the Europan approach is unique in that it supports winning designers from their first proposal through to project completion, while engaging in ongoing architectural and societal debate.
The theme of the 18th edition, launched in March 2025, is "Re-sourcing".
Speakers: Julie Fernandez, architect, secretary general of Europan France, and Guillaume Duranel, architect, lecturer ENSA Normandie, former Europan winner.
Facilitator: Gabriella Trotta-Brambilla, architect, lecturer at ENSA Normandie, expert

The window in the architecture of George Nakashima and Alvaro Siza -
As in an exercise in comparative literature, a presentation on the conception of the window in the works of two architects: George Nakashima (1905-1990), who trained as an architect and worked as a cabinetmaker, and Alvaro Siza, a contemporary architect. Their paths diverge, but we're going to explore their affinities, notably through the element of the window/opening. Implicit in this exercise is the conviction that architecture is a cultural expression in all its nuances and contradictions.

Low-density conditions -
On a given territory, low population density calls for a project attitude and specific tools that are not reducible "on a small scale" to conventional urban planning. Drawing on his experience as an architect and urban planner with Atelier de l'Ourcq, Félix Mulle will outline the specific conditions for projects in rural areas, as well as the contours of a planning grammar that would be adapted to them.

The Living Frankfurt workshop (Blended Intensive Program) offers students from the four partner countries (Portugal, France, Spain and Germany) the opportunity to take part in a week of intensive work as part of an interdisciplinary, multicultural team.
9 videos were produced last October by the S7 AVT Fabrique Frankfurt student team under the direction of Caroline Maniaque. They will be shown until March 2025 at the Giersch Museum in Frankfurt (near the Museum of Architecture) as part of the OUR HOUSE exhibition, in the section entitled "Living Room".

Following the favorable opinion of the Board of Directors on December 6, 2024, La Ministre de la Culture has appointed Raphaël Labrunye as Director of the École nationale supérieure d'architecture de Normandie. Mr. Labrunye was first appointed on February 1, 2019, with a renewal in 2022. This new 3-year mandate, in accordance with current decrees, takes effect from February 1, 2025.
Here are the details of our work areas.

In support of the actions carried out during the last two terms of office, the three areas of focus for the Director ofENSA Normandie be:
- Stabilize and increase the reliability of administrative services, so that they can improve their working conditions and tools in support of teaching and research. The ambition is to set up a "learning organization", working collaboratively on identified improvement projects, and reinforcing in-house training to support existing expertise.
- A medium-term reflection on the three geographical sites ofENSA Normandie, in Rouen, Le Havre, and Hanoi. The training and research associated with partners at these three metropolitan sites offer numerous opportunities for teaching staff and students. In Rouen, the unprecedented collaboration between the School and the University on transitions and multi-risk management has already enabled the ATE laboratory to initiate major scientific collaborations. In Le Havre, long-standing collaborations with the University (Master 2 DRAQ) and INSA (dual architect-engineer degree) have enabled the deployment of the Grand Chantier center around reuse and the Auguste Perret Chair on the heritage of Reconstruction. In Vietnam, with the support of the bachelor's degree awarded in collaboration with Hanoi Architecture University, the partners plan to further develop this program combining architecture and landscape design and to develop partnership-based research.
- A longer-term ambition for all 21 ENSA(p). When I was elected to the presidency of the Collège des directeurs et des directrices, I asserted the need to professionalize collaboration between the ENSA(P), which broadly share the same organizational and forward-looking issues in architectural education and research. Although our supervisory ministries are responsible for strategic policy, and each of our establishments is autonomous in its pedagogical and scientific orientations, I feel it is necessary to strengthen the sharing of expertise within the network, and to pool common management tools and methods.
On February 25, 2025, elections will be held for the vacant seat of ATS staff representative on the Board of Directors. This body is essential for the smooth running of the École and for defining the strategic orientations of our establishment. Key dates and milestones below:

Frequently asked questions
Does the profession of faith have to follow a specific format?
No format required for the profession of faith, except that the document must be in PDF. At the very least, a declaration of candidacy is required, respecting legislation on respect, secularity, etc.
Can I be a candidate for both CA and CFVE?
Yes, but this scenario should be avoided, as you cannot sit on both bodies. For example, if you are elected to both bodies, you will have to choose one of the two positions and resign from the other. If this is the case, the next person in line will be elected.
From graduation project to participatory approach
January 13 to 31, 2025 - Mairie de Jumièges - France
Opening on Wednesday, January 8, 2025 -
As part of their final year project, Élise Cayuela and Lou Bonnet, students atENSA Normandie, examined rising water levels in the Seine estuary, using the town of Jumièges as a case study. They conducted research on various scales, enriched by expert analysis and a round table discussion organized with the residents of Jumièges. This meeting showed them the importance of a participatory approach, placing residents at the center of their work.
To extend this reflection, Élise and Lou are organizing an exhibition in Jumièges, exploring the town's urban, residential and economic evolution through three periods: the past (1900), the present (2025) and the future (2100).
The vernissage will take place on Wednesday January 8 at 6:30 pm at the Salle des Fêtes in Jumièges, during the Mayor's New Year's Eve celebrations. The exhibition will then be on display at Jumièges town hall from January 13 to 31.

"Features - portraits
An architect makes places that welcome people. As part of the "Body of Possibilities" intensive in the first year of Architecture, students explore different representations of the body in art.
Make-up, disguises and camouflage have been practiced by men and women throughout history, depending on their culture, as a means of escaping reality. White, black and red were used to decompose the face of one's partner and reconstruct a troubling figure. At a time when self-image is a quest, turning the selfy on its head through grimacing and grimace is an attempt to question what is at stake in this self-representation.
