For the fifth consecutive year,ENSA Normandie visiting professors to lead its project workshops in the sixth semester. Candidates, who must demonstrate extensive experience in the fields of architectural, urban, and/or landscape design, are invited to propose a workshop course that is innovative and exploratory within the context ofENSA Normandie bachelor’s degree program. As part of the sixth-semester workshop, the focus will be on exploring with students design methods and issues that differ from those typically addressed at ENSA schools.

Among these new hires, a visiting professor will supervise students in the dual architecture-engineering degree program offered byENSA Normandie the National Institute of Applied Sciences (INSA) Rouen Normandie. This individual will teach as part of a partnership with the Grand Chantier association, focusing on reuse, specifically at a site undergoing transformation (the IUT in Le Havre–Caucriauville) and, in particular, on a demonstration building (the former university residence).

Candidates must therefore demonstrate a significant professional commitment to the promotion of natural and local material resources and reuse. Subject to the continuation of this program and satisfactory educational outcomes, the successful candidate may be reappointed in 2028 for the same period. Candidates should therefore ensure that they are available for a two-year term.
