In the study booklet for semester 1 of the 2023 project workshop, we would like to clarify certain passages in the exercise statements.

It appears that paragraphs and quotations from the ENSA Paris-Est 1st year 2018/2019 project workshop study booklet have been taken over without explicit mention of their source (p. 11, statement; p. 15, statement; p. 21, statement and quotation from H. Focillon; p. 27, statement and quotation from A. Perret).

The work carried out at Paris-Est served as a reference for the development of exercises just before the start of the 2023/2024 academic year atENSA Normandie, and certain excerpts were mistakenly retained in the published version of the booklet. However, these texts had been revised in September 2023 and were not intended to be distributed in this form.

We sincerely apologize to the authors concerned for this inappropriate use. In order to rectify this situation, the workbook is being corrected and access to it has been temporarily suspended.
