7th International PhD Seminar Urbanism and Urbanization

This 7th edition of the U&U International PhD Seminar will be held at the ENSA Paris-Malaquais, under the scientific direction of the Laboratory of Infrastructure and Architecture Planning (LIAT). Continually facing new demands from epistemological or technical society, and now facing an economic and social crisis (especially in Europe), urban planning is forced to question its methods. The Seminar is intended for PhD Students who wish to present their ongoing research questioning aspects of the field of urban planning in a historical perspective, from a theoretical point of view or with a potential for practical implementation. The U&U International PhD Seminars take place exclusively in English and seek to promote the exchange of ideas, provoke debate amongst researchers, invite comparisons, cross-pollinate different disciplines and to highlight the latest ongoing research. It is a rare opportunity offered to young researchers to meet with prominent scientists and build a critical argument.

Urban Nature through Projects. Towards a new coalition between city and nature

Intitulé « Nature urbaine en projets », le présent colloque a pour ambition de mieux comprendre et connaître ce qu’il en est du devenir de la ville –sa nature- dès lors qu’elle s’attache à la nature. Car s'il faut bien envisager l’avenir des formes urbaines naturelles –promenades plantées, parcs, jardins- héritées de l’histoire, c’est à l’aune d’une demande sociale de nature, elle-même fluctuante, que cela doit être fait. Et s’il faut dès lors appréhender le devenir des modèles de nature auxquels se réfèrent les architectes, les paysagistes et les urbanistes qui aménagent nos villes en espaces naturels, il convient tout autant d’interroger les mutations du « projet » en tant qu’outil de conception auquel ces professionnels ont recours. Il n’est pas jusque la question de l’ « innovation » architecturale, paysagère et urbanistique qui n’implique la notion de dépassement du présent inhérente aux projets de nature urbaine. Une nouvelle alliance entre nature et ville se dessinerait-elle ?

Ambiances in action

The second International Congress on Ambiances is an international gathering for researchers, artists and players engaged in analyzing the ambiance-related dimensions of the built environment and in the sensory construction of the contemporary world. Many approaches are at work in the field of architectural and urban ambiance, and these multiple contributions nurture its rich diversity. The Congress aims to give voice to this activity, feeding on work exploring new forms of exchange between what is designed and what is experienced, between the measured and the qualified, the projected and the tested, the material and the immaterial. The Congress will be held for four days at the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA), in Montreal, from 19 to 22 September 2012. It will seek to express advances in learning and new hypotheses proposed by the various disciplines and fields of activity which address the question of ambiances.

Faire une ambiance – Creating an atmosphere

Colloque international

Qu’est ce qui fait une ambiance et comment se fabrique une ambiance ?Aujourd’hui, en architecture et en urbanisme, la stricte « maîtrise technique des ambiances » ne suffit plus. Dans la conception et la gestion de l’espace construit, ces questions débordent la simple juxtaposition des dispositifs techniques et réglementaires. De nouvelles pratiques de projet apparaissent De nouvelles connaissances transdisciplinaires sont aussi en plein essor. Au cours de cette rencontre, architectes, urbanistes, paysagistes, designers d’environnement, artistes, neuro-cogniticiens, philosophes et sociologues présenteront les nouveaux acquis, témoigneront d’expériences de création et poseront des interrogations ouvrant de nouvelles pistes de réflexion et de pratique. Ce colloque est le premier acte d’un réseau international interdisciplinaire et interprofessionnel qui intéresse déjà plus de soixante pays soucieux d’une architecture de qualité et d’un aménagement durable.
