Colloquium - Albert Laprade, a synthesis of the arts

Thursday, September 18 and Friday, September 19, 2025 - 

To mark his centenary, the Cité internationale universitaire de Paris is organizing a symposium entitled "Albert Laprade: a synthesis of the arts" .

The architect is the creator of four buildings on the campus, all marked by his vision of architecture that is both functional and symbolic. In addition to talks on the architect and three highlights of his career (Morocco, the Palais de la Porte dorée and the Cité internationale universitaire de Paris), the program includes a presentation of the architect's archives, guided tours of the buildings on campus and testimonials from residents.

Claire Rosset, researcher at the ATE laboratory, will give two presentations:
- on September 17, as part of the round-table discussion on the architect: " Albert Laprade, un architecte-auteur au XXe siècle " (" Albert Laprade, an architect-author in the 20th century ");
- on September 18, in the round table La cité internationale universitaire de Paris: "Albert Laprade ou l'effort de synthèse".
