Knowledge and recognition of Reconstruction in Normandy

Issue 31 of Études normandes features a special issue focusing on the knowledge and recognition of Reconstruction in Normandy. The issue was conceived in partnership with the École nationale supérieure d'architecture de Normandie, under the direction of Patrice Gourbin (and funded by the French Ministry of Culture).

The contributions in this double issue are a continuation of the research carried out at ENSA Normandie on Reconstruction after the Second World War. They come from institutional representatives, experts and residents, and reflect the current dynamics of historical knowledge and heritage recognition. The aim is also to imagine relevant methods for adapting this already ancient architecture to today's constraints of comfort and use. Together, the articles form a "research-action" that observes, participates in and commits itself to the evolution of its object of study.

A public presentation of the issue is scheduled for Thursday October 24, 2024 at 6pm at the Maison de l'Architecture-Le Forum (48 rue Victor Hugo, 76000 Rouen).
