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 gathered in this double issue extend the research conducted atENSA Normandie post-World War II reconstruction. They come from institutional representatives, experts, and residents, and reflect current trends in historical knowledge and heritage recognition. They also seek to imagine relevant methods for adapting this already ancient architecture to current constraints of comfort and use. Together, the articles form a "research-action" project that observes, participates in, and is committed to the evolution of its subject 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).
