The RSPA EnsaÉco, "network of teaching and research on ecology in the ENSAPs" aims to create active ecosystems between all the ENSA-Ps for ecology and synergies and innovative and alternative actions.

The EnsaÉco network stands out for its holistic and forward-looking approach to the ecological transition, and is constantly seeking to actively contribute to the evolution of the debate on the very definition of the notion, by putting it into perspective in implementation, teaching and research, and in a multiscalar way (from the scale of the territory to the scale of the material, in architecture as well as in landscape and urban planning).

At this conference, Arnaud Crétot will explain how he came to create Europe's first solar bakery and roasting business in 2019, here in Normandy (NeoLoco.fr). With a background as a craftsman-engineer that starts with an energy study trip to 20 countries and goes through participation in the design of concentrated solar power ovens for craftsmen in developing countries, Arnaud Crétot recently co-created a methodology (Teled.fr) for transforming craft, industrial and public organizations to make them compatible with variable access to energy and resources. Renewable energies can power the economy if we learn to consume when we know how to produce. To what extent is this approach transforming our spaces?

A conference organized by the Experimentation field of study.

As Gaston Bachelard put it, astonishment leads us to question normative frameworks and their criteria, and invites us to reinterrogate the everyday, to take a critical distance from contemporary issues. In short, to hypothesize that what is - easy, quick, reproducible - is fading away in favor of what will be - hospitable, enduring and sometimes imperfect.

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.
