  Thinking - Making. Perspectives on the growing prominence of making in architecture

  This conference explores the growing prominence of making in architecture, as manifested by architects who engage more directly in building practices, dealing more closely with materials and techniques. The colloquium proposes to investigate a diverse set of cases where making is re-evaluated and celebrated. It calls for papers along three lines of inquiry: historical and theoretical perspectives on the evolution of the relationship between thinking and making, and its consequences in architecture, case studies that assess the motivations and values of actors involved in making in the field of architecture, investigations into the means and tools that aim at a closer relationship between designers, materials and built forms.

  The ethical and societal challenges of digital identities

  Les entreprises et les États consacrent une importance croissante à nos identités numériques, à leur surveillance ou à leur gestion. Il devient alors nécessaire de s’interroger sur les effets que les logiques industrielles, économiques et politiques ont sur nos questionnements éthiques et sur nos capacités à agir. La conférence traitetera de l’ambivalence intrinsèque du numérique : même si la transformation actuelle ouvre des possibles, elle redistribue différemment le jeu des contraintes et des incitations et tend insidieusement à créer une malléabilité plus grande des individus.
