Sichuan University and its Department of Architecture and Environment welcomed 10 students fromENSA Normandie an International Immersion Workshop, which took place from June 29 to July 14, 2019. This document summarizes the workshop and recounts the different phases of the work.

The teaching of the "Architecture, Theories and Project Methodologies" field of study comprises 3 parts:

- A course on the logics of production of architectural space and related methodologies,
- A tutorial on the analysis of the literary capacity of architects to make a narrative out of their architectural practice,
- A project studio focusing on the large scale of the building, its topological organisation and the specific space
A project studio on the large scale of the building, its topological organisation and the specific space that distributes its programmatic complexity, known as the "Urban Interior Space".

This triptych is intended to help the student understand :

- That the public space that is formed around architecture has urban as well as functional responsibilities,
- That the architect's narrative aims to describe the respective shares of these responsibilities in his art and/or his work,
- That the intentions of such a narrative are concretised in a topological organisation that precedes the very idea of function.

RADIAL is a journal published by the RADIAN doctoral program in research and creation, which brings together ED 558 HMPL, ESADHaR, ésam, andENSA Normandie. Issue No. 1, En finir avec le post-Internet (Ending the Post-Internet), features articles on the post-Internet era as a time when the Internet has become such an integral part of our lives that it no longer seems exceptional, its use becoming as commonplace as using a pencil once was, a time when "new technologies" are stripped of their a priori technological aspect.
The contributions come from artists and art researchers, including Dominique Dehais, professor atENSA Normandie. His article "Art and Political Economy" develops the idea that the role of the artist could well be to weave a fabric in which the economy of the sacred and the economy of the social are intertwined.

ENSA Normandie operation in 2017-2018.

For the second consecutive year, students atENSA Normandie the exceptional opportunity to spend a semester working on a project on the island of Guadeloupe.

A two-week trip to the site allowed them to take a step back, which was very beneficial from an educational standpoint, and to question or challenge certain preconceived ideas or automatic project responses. This experience was once again made possible by the joint efforts of a municipality, the town of Le Moule, and two administrations, the DAC of Guadeloupe andENSA Normandie various contributors deserve our thanks here.

Rehabilitation is a multi-faceted term, a major issue and a potential for architectural creation, but how are students and professionals trained, according to which courses and in which institutions? These questions were the subject of a study, commissioned by the PUCA within the framework of the REHA programme, consisting of a survey that provides an overview of the current offer.
This book is the result of this study; beyond the overall view it offers, it opens up avenues of reflection for developing the teaching of rehabilitation in order to give it a full and complete place in schools of architecture, but also to disseminate architectural culture in professional training.

ENSA Normandie operation in 2016-2017

For the team of students enrolled in the master's program, specifically in their seventh and ninth semesters atENSA Normandie, the urbanized area of Le Moule is a subject of study that lends itself to questioning and the acquisition of methodological mechanisms specific to urban projects.

ENSA Normandie operation in 2015-2016

The main objective of this work is to show a real desire for architecture. The end-of-study project is considered to be the culmination of the student's career. A long process of 5 years made of doubts and also of [great satisfaction], of sometimes random and varied paths, of back and forth necessary to the construction of the urban and landscape architectural thought. It is also the first milestone in his professional life as an architect.
