In December 2022, the magazine Études normandes published a special issue to present the collective reflections resulting from an experimental pedagogical and research partnership involving the École nationale supérieure d'architecture de Normandie, the UniLaSalle Polytechnic Institute (Rouen campus) and several actors in the Normandy region.

This analysis presents the results of a "Workshop outside the walls", a five-day immersion with S-07 students from both schools in the new commune of Rives-en-Seine (Seine-Maritime), which is participating in the national program "Small Cities of Tomorrow".
The work was supervised by the teacher-researchers of the M1 DE Architecture de la Ville et des Territoires urban and territorial project workshop: Gabriella TROTTA-BRAMBILLA (head), Joseph ALTUNA, Antoine APRUZZESE, Marie CHABROL, Patrice GOURBIN and Dominique LEFRANÇOIS.

The publication was coordinated by Gabriella TROTTA-BRAMBILLA forENSA Normandie features contributions from teachers, researchers, and local stakeholders (Boucles de la Seine Normande Regional Nature Park, Seine-Maritime Departmental Directorate for Territories and the Sea, local elected officials, etc.).

On Thursday, March 25, 2021, the third conference of Doctoral School 556 HSRT (Human Societies Risks Territory) was held atENSA Normandie. Co-organized by doctoral students from ED 556, these meetings offer young researchers in the humanities and social sciences the opportunity to showcase their work.

On this occasion, communications from various disciplines met around the notion of "HABITATE" which, as Caroline Maniaque reminds us in the preface of this brochure, "from philosophy to geography, from anthropology to architecture, passing through urbanism or history, crosses the social and human sciences and meets some of the major debates of our contemporary life".

The proceedings of this JED, coordinated by doctoral students, bring together 14 contributions. The brochure highlights the contribution ofENSA Normandie the ATE laboratory to postgraduate education.

The Normandy National School of Architecture and the ATE laboratory are publishing a book entitled Architecture et transmission des arts(Architecture and the Transmission of the Arts). This collective work, edited by Dominique Dehais, is the result of a series of study days held in May 2017 atENSA Normandie.

Summary of the book

Architectural education is composed of disciplines that contribute to the scientific, technical and sensitive scope of urban and landscape architectural design. The transmission of the arts, whether plastic, visual, theoretical or practical, is part of the educational corpus of architectural education. In its process, the Bologna Directive (EU 1999) includes the arts in the list of competences for the practice of architecture.

The contributions gathered in this book are a follow-up to the May 2017 study days at the École nationale d'architecture de Normandie. Through the singularity of their authors' didactic paths, they draw up a panorama of the issues and attitudes that give shape to the experience of art in order to understand and act in the creation of the artefacts that produce the reality of our living environments. Environments in which architecture plays a determining role.

No. 4 of the RADIAL journal, linked to the RADIAN doctorate, on The Arts of Architecture proposes to rethink architecture as an art; starting with the art of building as the source of a poetics unfolding in the real, and also considering the other arts, such as literature, cinema and landscape, involved in the process of architectural creation. The RADIAN doctoral section contains essays by RADIAN doctoral students in "research and creation", and the VARIA section concerns composite research.
