  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.

  The City: Object and Phenomenon of Representation Histories of Urbanity: Theories and Approaches Around the Work of André Corboz

  Tenu en hommage au professeur André Corboz, ce colloque vise à stimuler la recherche sur les interrelations de la ville, de ses images et de ses imaginaires. Dans un esprit d’exploration méthodologique et d’échange transdisciplinaire entre les domaines des sciences humaines, des lettres et des arts, on propose d’y aborder la ville comme un objet et comme un phénomène de représentation afin de susciter la discussion sur les sujets d’analyse que ces considérations sous-tendent, d’exposer les approches et leurs contextes spéculatifs et de recadrer les questionnements en ce qui a trait, particulièrement, à la genèse des significations de l’espace urbain et aux dialogues entre les villes et l’identité collective, aussi bien sous l’angle de l’histoire de l’urbanisme que sous celui de la réflexion sur l’aménagement.
