Conference - The architect and multirisk

Wednesday, November 19, 2025, 4pm, Maison de l'Université, Rouen Campus - France

Addressing the issue of cross-risks means coming to grips with the complexity of systemic and holistic approaches. Although architects claim a certain expertise in these ways of thinking, they lack the tools to rank the relative importance of phenomena, represent their couplings and assess the relevance of simplifications generally made implicitly. This paper proposes to draw up an initial map of the phenomena and issues that emerge from the architect's appropriation of multi-hazard concepts in their confrontation with the needs of socio-ecological transitions.
