Heraldry in Medieval and Early Modern State-Rooms
Towards a Typology of Heraldic Programmes in Spaces of Self-Representation
Heraldry was an ubiquitous element of state-rooms. Whether in palaces of kings and princes, castles of noblemen, residences of patricians, city halls or in cathedral chapters, heraldic display was a crucial element in the visual programme of these spaces. Despite its omnipresence, however, heraldic display in state-rooms remains largely understudied so far. This workshop aims to explore these heraldic programmes in state-rooms in medieval and early modern Europe and to suggest an initial typology of this phenomenon.

Around the figure of Hugues Sambin. An architect-carpenter in the 16th century
Deux expositions (la première en 1989 au musée des Beaux-Arts de Dijon et la seconde en 2001 au musée national de la Renaissance-château d’Ecouen) ont révélé la personnalité d’Hugues Sambin (v. 1520-1601), menuisier et architecte qui s’est vite imposé dans l’Est de la France. Depuis une décennie des avancées significatives ont été faites sur différents aspects de son œuvre et de son rayonnement. L’objectif du colloque est donc de mettre en valeur ces avancées en réunissant des chercheurs venus d’horizon divers. Le colloque se veut une synthèse des connaissances sur l’artiste mais aussi sur son époque : par cet éclairage sur Hugues Sambin, on cherche ainsi à mettre en lumière les aspirations intellectuelles de certains des hommes de la Renaissance ainsi que les évolutions du goût jusqu’à la fin du XIXe siècle.

Building techniques in writings on architecture between Italy, France and the Low Countries
Les techniques constructives dans les écrits d’architecture entre Italie, France et anciens Pays-Bas
This conference focuses on the connection between architectural theory and construction techniques. The first part deals with the analysis of technical descriptions, their relationship with building practice, their rhetorical value, and their international circulation and adaptation. It comprises case studies from Italy, France, and the Low Countries. The second part approaches the same problem in a comparative perspective and takes the form of round-table discussions structured around three themes: the relationship between technical writings and construction practices, the literary aspects of technical digressions, and the translation and adaptation of Italian treatises.
