  Architecture and risk - from contraints to opportunity

  À travers des échanges autour de la fabrique des territoires, cette journée d'étude a un double objectif : en premier questionner les potentialités de l’architecture à renseigner et à absorber les situations à risques  et par la suite, interroger les pratiques architecturales mises sous tension par la présence des risques. L’enjeu sera de permettre à la pratique architecturale de se positionner par rapport à cette thématique universelle des risques et à questionner par le biais d’une démarche réflexive la formation des futures architectes. Et ainsi sortir d’une approche techno-centrée des risques pour inclure ses autres dimensions socio-spatiales.

  The lessons of Rome

  Les Leçons de Rome propose un espace de réflexion et de débat pour quiconque appréhende l’Italie comme laboratoire de recherche architecturale, urbaine et paysagère. Définir l’Italie comme laboratoire suppose d’analyser les contextes de fabrication des politiques urbaines aussi bien que les expériences de projet, les théories comme les pratiques, les héritages et les mutations tout autant que les orientations et les prospectives. En quelques mots, construire un savoir et une culture, mais encore tirer des enseignements et développer des outils opératoires pour appréhender le présent et enrichir les pratiques contemporaines.

  The Lessons of Rome

  Third study day, Lyon museum of Fine Arts, April 27, 2018

  The Lessons of Rome aim at providing a space for reflection for anyone who grasps Italy as an architectural, urban and landscape research laboratory. Defining Italy as a laboratory involves analyzing contexts of urban policies but also as design expériences, theories as well as practices, legacies, mutations and prospects. It means building knowledge and culture, but also learning and developing tools to conceive the present and enrich contemporary practices.

  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.
