Study Day – Project-Based Research, Research-Creation

Tuesday, November 17, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at ENSA de Bretagne –

How can research and practice be integrated in the production of knowledge? This symposium aims to foster a dialogue between project-based research in architecture and research-creation approaches developed in other disciplines, notably the visual arts, film, and literature.
By comparing methods and experiences, the aim is to explore the connections between the scientific method and project practice, identify the commonalities and unique characteristics of these approaches, and examine how architectural design can become a genuine research tool while remaining distinct from the architectural project itself. This event will serve as an opportunity for discussion and the sharing of experiences to reflect on the conditions for developing these approaches within the research units of architecture schools. Its goal is to bring together student and faculty communities to foster “food for thought” regarding architectural research.

Nikolas Fouré, an associate professor at theENSA Normandie, Arts and Techniques of Performance, will participate in the panel discussion.
