As part of the RADIAN programme, the doctoral students are organising a doctoral seminar which is intended to be a forum for exchange and reflection on doctoral research in progress, with the help of guest speakers. Session 4, entitled "Les terrains imaginés de la recherche-création", will welcome Sandra Delacourt, contemporary art historian.
Sandra Delacourt is an independent art critic, professor of contemporary art history at ESAD TALM-Tours and associate researcher at HiCSA (Université Paris 1). Her research focuses on the political uses of knowledge, as well as on the relationships of social and cultural domination that they imply. Sandra Delacourt is the author of L'artiste-chercheur, un rêve américain au prisme de Donald Judd (B42, 2019), and she co-edited Le chercheur et ses doubles (B42, 2016).
A session proposed by Edouard Prulière.

9.30AM - 6PM 

Salle Alberti in the morning / Jean Duminy Amphitheatre in the afternoon

Exhibition on the 1st floor, next to the workshops.

The objective of the day is to draw up the assessment and the perspectives of the research project "Cultural resources and urban project. The medium-sized cities of the second Reconstruction" financed under the BRAUP's multiannual research programme "20th century architecture, project material for the sustainable city of the 21st century".

The day will also be the occasion for the inauguration of the exhibition of portraits of inhabitants made by Élisabeth Blanchet in the framework of the research project.

Elisabeth Blanchet, photographer and journalist, has built her artistic work on the observation of life paths. She works in particular on post-war barracks in the United Kingdom and in France, with a dimension that is both sensitive and militant.

As the day is subject to health restrictions, it is necessary to present a health pass at the entrance and to register to participate in the day on the following form: HERE before 25 November at 12 noon.

In the early 1990s, urban planning underwent a revolution with Euralille. An iconoclastic architect, a visionary mayor and a daring planner shook up practices and completed the design and construction of France's third largest business district in just a few years. Shaped by the forces of neoliberalism, a major European city is entering the 21st century. Euralille is a project with multiple historical, theoretical and critical issues that sheds light on the present and perhaps the future of the metropolis.

Valéry Didelon is an architecture critic and historian, professor atENSA Normandie, and member of the ATE Laboratory.

It proposes
examining the "invisible" part of the architectural project: the manufacturing process from development to construction, the examination of the processes, the organisational changes including the collaboration between engineers and architects.

Jean-Baptiste Marie is an architect, with a doctorate in planning and architecture, and a degree from the École nationale supérieure d'architecture de Versailles and the École Boulle.
