Maison de l'Architecture-Le Forum - 48 rue Victor Hugo, 76000 Rouen, France
free admission

The Maison de l'Architecture-Le Forum welcomes us to present issue 31 of the journal Études Normandes , devoted to "Knowledge and recognition of Reconstruction in Normandy".

The contributions gathered in this double issue extend the research conducted atENSA Normandie reconstruction after World War II. They come from institutional representatives, experts, and residents, and reflect the current dynamics in terms of historical knowledge and heritage recognition. They also seek to imagine relevant methods for adapting this already old architecture to current constraints of comfort and use. Together, the articles form a "research-action" project that observes, participates in, and is committed to the evolution of its subject of study.

Public presentation in the presence of Patrice Gourbin.

We are pleased to announce the publication of issue 31 of the magazine Études normandes designed in partnership with the École nationale supérieure d'architecture de Normandie, under the direction of Patrice Gourbin.

This double issue focuses on knowledge and recognition of Reconstruction in Normandy.

Until October 7, 2024 -

The "Labyrinthe" fanzine is an editorial project initiated by a collective of doctoral students atENSA Normandie ATE, straddling several statuses—student, researcher, professional, teacher, architect, etc. — with the aim of sharing and promoting an exploratory approach, a transitional, liminal position on the fringes of architectural practice.

In anticipation of the December 2024 issue, a call for contributions is open, focusing on three areas of work:

DE-MEASUREMENT, understood as the loss of a frame of reference, of a means of comparison, and as an opportunity to deconstruct and reconstruct our framework for apprehending reality;
MUTATION, understood as a way of adapting to changing contexts, as the transformation of oneself in response to that of the world;
RESILIENCE, understood as the ability to withstand shocks, to endure despite destabilization, as a mode of adaptive resistance.

MULTIFORM proposals must be submitted by October 7, 2024 (finalized proposals).
More information on the call for papers HERE.

Visual : Call for papers

The journal Transversale is calling for papers for its eighth issue on the theme of Construction Sites – Materials & Tools: Architecture in Practice.
This issue is coordinated by Marie Gaimard, lecturer atENSA Normandie researcher at ATE, Gilles-Antoine Langlois, professor at ENSA Paris-Val-de-Seine and researcher at EVCAU, and Léonore Losserand, lecturer at ENSA Paris-Val-de-Seine and researcher at EVCAU.

This call for papers is based on the hypothesis that an understanding of materials, tools and the architectural worksite can help us to grasp the way in which the architectural object has been constituted over time. It is proposed to explore this reflection along three lines, at several scales and in all eras and geographical zones:

1/ The construction site as an ephemeral space and time for implementation ;

2/Thesite's permanent or temporary tools, which are sometimes modified or even created on site;

3/ The worksite as a place where materials are formed and deformed.

Articles must be submitted by June 15, 2024.
More information on thecall for contributions and the editorial charter.
