For a week, from May 7 to 14, 2022, students surveyed the site of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin from top to bottom, from length to breadth, with inhabitants, landscape architects, architects, cultural leaders, historians, geographers, and urban planners. This factory took place within the framework of a master's degree course led by Caroline Maniaque and Gabriella Trotta-Brambilla, with Antoine Apruzzese and Matthieu David.

From 2017 to 2022, the "History, Theory, Criticism, Mediation" Seminar, taught at the École nationale supérieure d'architecture de Normandie, welcomed each year cohorts of 15 to 17 students, in master 1 and 2, to develop a critical reflection over three semesters.

The aim of this booklet is to provide a record of the work undertaken during these years, in particular since 2019 under the direction of Camille Bidaud (2019-2020; 2020-2021; 2021- 2022; 2020-2021; 2020-2021)
years, in particular since 2019 under the direction of Camille Bidaud (2019-2020; 2020-2021; 2021-2022) and Caroline Maniaque (2017-2018; 2018-2019; 2019-2020; 2020-2021; 2021-2022).

Antoine Apruzzese (2021-2022), Gabriel Bernard Guelle (2020-2021, 2021-2022), Damien Renault (2018-2019; 2019-2020; 2020-2021) accompanied us in this process. Patrice Gourbin also collaborated in the undertaking (2017-2018; 2018-2019).

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.

Anne Portnoï, Gabriella Trotta-Brambilla, (dir.), A laboratory of ideas for the city of Cherbourg-en-Cotentin, September 2021

Coordinated by Anne Portnoï, École nationale supérieure d’architecture de Paris-La Villette, and Gabriella Trotta-Brambilla, École nationale supérieure d’architecture de Normandie, this book reports on the work of students from ENSA Paris La Villette andENSA Normandie the Cherbourg-en-Cotentin area and its town center.

The principle of this course and its challenges are directly linked to the new RE2020 E+C- environmental regulation. It proposes to all Bachelor 3 students to evaluate the environmental quality of their own architectural proposals. At the end, they must be able to choose the construction method and materials adapted to its environmental impacts.

The RADIAL journal, linked to the RADIAN doctorate in research and creation, has just published its third issue on the theme of 'frugality'.

Among the articles written by academics, artists, and architects, this issue includes three texts directly related to architecture: Julie Beauté, Living with lichens: symbiotic perspectives on frugality in architecture; Dominique Gauzin Muller, From Critical Regionalism to Creative Frugality: The Return of Vernacular Architectural Materials; and Alexandre Melay, From the Aesthetics of Wabi to Contemporary Architectural Minimalism. In his column Varia, Research in Creation, Arnaud François, architect and senior lecturer atENSA Normandie, questions from an epistemological perspective different ways of articulating scientific research with artistic and architectural creation.
