  The way of ambiances

  The sensory experience of situations

  Sensory atmospheres and ambiances are open to a wide variety of uses, whether in the arts, the urban or the social sciences. How do ambiances contribute to put ordinary situations to the test of the sensory experience? How do they open up new paths in terms of artistic work, methodological experimentation or theoretical exploration? What about a situated socio-aestheticism, mindful of the percepts and affects that pervade our living environments and seep into the contemporary sensitivities?

  Urbicide - urban destruction and renaissance (16th-21st centuries)

  Ce colloque se propose d'aborder les différents aspects des destructions urbaines : guerres, catastrophes naturelles ou industrielles, accidents majeurs, « villes-fantômes », opérations radicales de remodelage urbain, etc. Outre sa large envergure chronologique, il couvre aussi une vaste aire géographique, les études portant sur des situations extra-européennes étant particulièrement attendues. On traitera aussi bien des causes et modalités de l'urbicide, que des réactions des populations urbaines confrontées à ce phénomène ou encore de l'« après » urbicide.

  Colonial urban territories from Antiquity - founding, populating, inhabiting, governing

  Fonder, peupler, habiter, gouverner

  Les phénomènes coloniaux ont très largement été des phénomènes urbains. De même, la création de territoires urbains (villes nouvelles, infrastructures, settlements, etc.) sont régulièrement qualifiés de « colonial ». Ainsi, au croisement des études urbaines et des études coloniales, cet atelier doctoral envisage donc d'interroger, à l'aune de cas d'étude situés, aussi bien diverses situations coloniales que la prolifération contemporaine des discours qualifiant telle ou telle situation urbaine de « coloniale ».

  Through local eyes

  Place-based approaches to emerging architectural, urban design and planning challenges in Africa and the Global South

  The fast paced urbanization and mushrooming of metropolitan areas in Africa and the Global South especially in connection with rights and access to basic services, have attracted much attention in the last decades from the public, local experts, decision-makers and international stakeholders. In parallel, other built environments such as emerging small towns, shrinking cities and rural areas are now experiencing important pressures and changes, and are increasingly coming under the spotlight.

  Experimenting on ambiance with architecture

  Ambiances Journal

  How can research on architectural and urban ambiances come to grips with experimentation? How can ambiance phenomena be explored in greater depth or discovered through spatial experimentation? Or how can such experimentation be built or conceptualized on the basis of assumptions regarding ambiance? Often presented as the basis for technical, aesthetic or indeed social innovation, what sort of experimentation can contribute to furthering our understanding, producing artefacts or setting in motion processes of architectural or urban transformation likely to encourage, drive or modify lived-in ambiances?
