  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.

  Epidemics, History and the Environment: Crossing Academic Boundaries

  European Society for Environmental History 10th Biennial Conference (2019)

  This panel - epidemics, climate and history – for the European Society for Environmental History 10th Biennial Conference in Tallinn (2019) aims to explore specific climatic/environmental and institutional factors that shaped both the way in which plagues lato sensu and other epidemics, including cholera, yellow fever, typhus, typhoid fever, leprosy, syphilis, etc., originated and spread as well as the consecutive significant demographic and socio-economic consequences at a local or regional scale throughout history (without geographical limitation). A particular attention will be given to original interdisciplinary approaches linking natural proxy archives and written documentary sources.
