Exhibition - 120 years of architectural education!
- School life
Thursday, December 5 - An evening rich in reflection and celebration!
A round-table discussion begins at 6pm, where experts will explore the links between education and architecture, questioning how teaching shapes spaces. This will be followed at 7pm by the opening of the exhibition "120 years of architectural education! Places, figures and perspectives", which traces the evolution of the school and gives students the chance to express their views on the future of their establishment.
Round table at 6 p.m. - A school, a history, a project
To mark its 120th anniversary, ENSA Normandie explores the links between teaching and architecture. How is teaching embodied in an institution's premises? And in what ways can pedagogy lead to the transformation of spaces or the creation of new ones? Anne-Marie Châtelet, scientific director of the HEnsA20 research project dedicated to the history of architectural education, will take part in this round table alongside Pascal Rollet, architect with Florence Lipsky of the Grands Ateliers de l'Isle d'Abeau, where innovative teaching methods have been developed since the 2000s.
Round table moderation: Sébastien Cherruet, Senior Lecturer and Claire Rosset, Research Engineer, ENSA Normandie
Opening at 7pm - 120 years of architectural education! Places, figures and perspectives
The École nationale supérieure d'architecture de Normandie was the first architecture school to open in the French provinces, and this year celebrates the 120th anniversary of its founding and the 40th anniversary of its move to its current premises. To mark the occasion, the "120 years of architectural education" exhibition is divided into two sections, to sketch the portrait of a teaching method that is constantly evolving.
1904-2024...
A work based on archives and recent scientific research reviews the evolution of architectural education in Rouen. The exhibition highlights the different locations occupied by the school over the years, and some of the singular figures who have left their mark on its walls. The intersection of these histories allows us to examine the specific moments and practices that have shaped the school's multiple identities.
... and today, already tomorrow
The second part of the exhibition is built around a scale model of the school, allowing visitors to appreciate what already exists and to envisage future changes. The exhibition then gives the floor to Master's students. Based on a critical analysis of the current state of their establishment, they question the school's future through the detailed transformation of the spaces they experience. This proposal is a way of imagining the evolution of teaching facilities through pedagogy itself.
Exhibition curators: For the "1904-2024" section: Manon Pouille, researcher; Sébastien Cherruet, lecturer and Claire Rosset, research engineer. ... and today, already tomorrow" section: Julien Choppin, associate lecturer and Marina Ramirez, lecturer.
