Following his participation as a member of the jury for the 2023 Architecture Prize and the ensuing debates on the winning projects, Valéry Didelon, architecture critic, author, and professor atENSA Normandie, wrote an article in the December 2023 issue. He continues the debate, explaining the choice of winners and offering his vision of a new generation of architects who are less concerned than their predecessors with grandiose aesthetics and more interested in a different aesthetic that encompasses ethical notions and social and environmental responsibility.
