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 gathered in this double issue extend the research conducted atENSA Normandie post-World War II reconstruction. They come from institutional representatives, experts, and residents, and reflect current trends in historical knowledge and heritage recognition. They also seek to imagine relevant methods for adapting this already ancient 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.

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).

Find the magazine in bookshops and press outlets.

On Thursday, March 25, 2021, the third conference of Doctoral School 556 HSRT (Human Societies Risks Territory) was held atENSA Normandie. Co-organized by doctoral students from ED 556, these meetings offer young researchers in the humanities and social sciences the opportunity to showcase 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 JED, coordinated by doctoral students, bring together 14 contributions. The brochure highlights the contribution ofENSA Normandie the ATE laboratory to postgraduate education.
