  Combining scientific Expertise with Participation: the Challenge of the European Landscape Convention

  The adoption of the European Landscape Convention (ELC) in 2000 represents a major event in taking landscape into account at the European level. As of June 2013, 38 Council of Europe member states have ratified the Convention. By specifying that landscape is an essential component of the quality of life of Europeans, the Convention is, first and foremost, in line with a territorial dimension. Moreover, a strong foundation of the ELC lies in its specific definition of landscape, notably based on the notion of perception by populations. One of the scientists’ major concerns is therefore how to reconcile objective scientific approaches with the subjective aspect of citizens’ perception. After more than a decade of practice, the Conference will be an opportunity for scientists who have been working in line with the ELC to present the tools developed and to reflect on their tangible, measurable and observable effects.

  Beirut, paradigm of a universally latent civil war

  Colloque organisé par Les Halles de Schaerbeek, en collaboration avec le Département d’architecture, d’urbanisme et de planification (ASRO) de la K.U. Leuven, avec le soutien du RITS. Si la ville de Beyrouth connut une déchirante guerre civile de 1975 à 1990, elle reste le lieu de conflits latents, susceptibles de s’enflammer à tout instant. Cette latence de la guerre affecte le langage et la mémoire et crée des lignes de démarcations mentales. La production artistique en porte les traces, de même que la physionomie de la ville elle-même, la répartition de ses quartiers, l’occupation de ses espaces publics. Le colloque « Beyrouth, paradigme de la guerre civile universelle latente » invite un écrivain, des architectes et urbanistes, des anthropologues et politologues de Beyrouth à approfondir ces questions.
