  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.

  Regional Water Management and Adaptive Management

  How to deal with multi-scalar issues?

  This seminar aims to discuss the interactions between regionalisation of water management and adaptive management. Regionalisation embeds many scales of time and space, which have to be combined to improve and change stakeholder practices. The seminar will bring together international specialists to analyse how adaptive management can deal with institutional, technical and political multi-scalar issues in order to foster change of practises. This seminar is organised in partnership with AgroParisTech Clermont-Ferrand, INRA-SAD and UMR METAFORT.

  Géohistoire et données anciennes

  Appel à contributions pour Géocarrefour, vol. 84 (hiver 2009)

  L’approche de type géohistorique irrigue les courants les plus divers de la géographie, son originalité tenant au fait qu’elle cherche à replacer la dynamique et la structuration des milieux ou des territoires dans le temps long. Plus qu'une histoire spatialisée elle vise donc une compréhension des phénomènes spatiaux et du sens de leurs enchaînements au cours du temps. Elle peut prétendre de ce fait à un certain renouvellement du genre monographique qui devient l’exercice préalable à l’identification de trajectoires d’évolution ou de recompositions.Ce numéro de Géocarrefour, espéré pour la fin de l'année 2009, abordera plusieurs pistes dans ce sens.
