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.

Scientific director of the "Architecture à lire" lecture series: Caroline Maniaque, architect, professor atENSA Normandie director of the ATE (Architecture, Territory, Environment) Research Unit / ENSA Normandie Normandie University.

Open to all on presentation of the Health Pass.

As part of the Architecture à lire series, this lecture by Jean-Baptiste Marie, architect and professor at the École nationale supérieure d'architecture de Clermont-Ferrand, will explore the behind-the-scenes creation of architectural projects: the Maison Hermès in Tokyo, the Louis Vuitton Foundation in Paris and the Seine-Aval wastewater treatment plant in Achères. 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. He teaches in the field of Theories and Practices of Architectural and Urban Design (TPCAU) at the ENSA of Clermont-Ferrand and directs the joint research unit Ressources.
