Issue 31 of Études normandes features a special issue focusing on the knowledge and recognition of Reconstruction in Normandy. The issue was conceived in partnership with the École nationale supérieure d'architecture de Normandie, under the direction of Patrice Gourbin (and funded by the French Ministry of Culture).

The contributions in this double issue are a continuation of the research carried out at ENSA Normandie on Reconstruction after the Second World War. They come from institutional representatives, experts and residents, and reflect the current dynamics of historical knowledge and heritage recognition. The aim is also to imagine relevant methods for adapting this already ancient architecture to today's constraints of comfort and use. Together, the articles form a "research-action" that observes, participates in and commits itself to the evolution of its object of study.

A public presentation of the issue is scheduled for Thursday October 24, 2024 at 6pm at the Maison de l'Architecture-Le Forum (48 rue Victor Hugo, 76000 Rouen).

This special issue of Études Normandes presents the collective thinking behind an experimental teaching and research partnership between the École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Normandie, the Institut Polytechnique UniLaSalle (Rouen campus) and a number of local players.

This analysis presents the results of an "Atelier hors les murs", a five-day immersion with S-07 students from both schools in the commune of Duclair (Seine-Maritime), which is taking part in the national "Small Towns of Tomorrow" program. The work was supervised by lecturers from the M1 DE Architecture de la Ville et des Territoires urban and territorial project workshop (Joseph Altuna, Dominique Lefrançois, Gabriella Trotta-Brambilla).

The publication was coordinated by Gabriella TROTTA-BRAMBILLA for ENSA Normandie, and features contributions from teacher-researchers and local players (Boucles de la Seine Normande Regional Nature Park, Seine-Maritime Departmental Directorate for Land and Sea, GIP Seine Aval, local elected representatives, etc.).

In December 2022, the magazine Études normandes published a special issue to present the collective reflections resulting from an experimental pedagogical and research partnership involving the École nationale supérieure d'architecture de Normandie, the UniLaSalle Polytechnic Institute (Rouen campus) and several actors in the Normandy region.

This analysis presents the results of a "Workshop outside the walls", a five-day immersion with S-07 students from both schools in the new commune of Rives-en-Seine (Seine-Maritime), which is participating in the national program "Small Cities of Tomorrow".
The work was supervised by the teacher-researchers of the M1 DE Architecture de la Ville et des Territoires urban and territorial project workshop: Gabriella TROTTA-BRAMBILLA (head), Joseph ALTUNA, Antoine APRUZZESE, Marie CHABROL, Patrice GOURBIN and Dominique LEFRANÇOIS.

The publication was coordinated by Gabriella TROTTA-BRAMBILLA for ENSA Normandie and presents contributions from teacher-researchers and actors of the territory (Boucles de la Seine Normande Regional Nature Park, Seine-Maritime Departmental Directorate for Territories and the Sea, local elected officials...)

On Thursday, March 25, 2021, the 3rd Day of the Doctoral School 556 HSRT "Man Societies Risks Territory" was held at ENSA Normandie. Co-organized by doctoral students of the ED 556, these meetings provide an opportunity for young researchers in the humanities and social sciences to promote their work.

On this occasion, communications from various disciplines met around the notion of "HABITATE" which, as Caroline Maniaque reminds us in the preface of this brochure, "from philosophy to geography, from anthropology to architecture, passing through urbanism or history, crosses the social and human sciences and meets some of the major debates of our contemporary life".

The proceedings of this EDD, coordinated by the doctoral students, gather 14 contributions. The booklet highlights the contribution of ENSA Normandie and the ATE laboratory to postgraduate training.
