Living Frankfurt" workshop in 9 videos

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".

Renewal of Raphaël Labrunye as director of the École nationale supérieure d'architecture de Normandie

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

Frequently asked questions

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.

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

Exhibition - Jumièges, different perspectives on rising waters

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.

Intensive 1st year - "The body of possibilities

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.

Designing coastal resilience

Conference - Metabolism and scale

Friday, December 6, 2024 at 10:30 a.m. - Salle Viollet-le-Duc - France

Atelier Iris Chervet blends architecture, urban planning and landscape through a cross-disciplinary approach in which attention to natural environments takes precedence over the organization of built environments.
The aim is to re-establish the essential relationship between man and his territory, by designing "inhabited environments". The interweaving of scales, from large territories to local uses, makes it possible to imagine a symbiotic relationship between city and landscape, and to design the resilience of territories most exposed to risks, in particular coastal areas. The workshop draws on geography as a fundamental basis for urban planning, enabling us to project the transformation of territories in the light of current and future climate change.

Teacher: Valter Balducci and Gwenaëlle Ruellan

As part of the urban project workshop "Cabourg. De la ville balnéaire vers la ville naturelle côtiere", S07, "L'architecture de la ville et du territoire" field of study.

To create a national reference center for low-impact construction based on reuse.

"Grand Chantier" - Construction and education players join forces

Construction and public works waste accounts for 70% of national waste, including 25% from buildings, and the building sector in France emits 25% of the greenhouse gases responsible for climate change. To drastically reduce this impact, we need to make do with what's already there: existing buildings and materials. Private and public players, as well as secondary and higher education establishments in the Normandy region, have announced the creation of the GRAND CHANTIER association in Le Havre, with the aim of reducing the environmental impact of the construction sector for maximum social benefit, based on the reintroduction and massification of reuse as a predominant practice.

GRAND CHANTIER brings together players such as the Université Le Havre Normandie, the École nationale supérieure d'architecture de Normandie, Colas France Agence Bâtiment, the social housing company Logeo Seine (Groupe Action Logement), the PERMAC association, Hangar Zéro and the Archipel Zéro architectural firm. The aim is to encourage the emergence of a construction materials recycling industry in the Seine Axis region.

Grand Chantier Board of Directors

- Co-presidents: Logeo Seine represented by Marie NGUYEN KHOA and École nationale supérieure d'architecture de Normandie represented by Raphaël LABRUNYE.

- Secretaries: Colas France Agence Bâtiment represented by Frédéric BRAULT and PERMaC represented by Pierre BOUYSSET.

- Treasurers: Frédéric DENISE, architect, and Université Le Havre Normandie represented by Luc VERDURE.
