Mississippi Delta Communities Facing Disappearing Land
"Still on the Map!" takes as its context the Mississippi Delta fifteen years after Hurricane Katrina and about five years after the commissioning of the major new "100-year" flood protection infrastructure. Expressed from its title -a statement of resistance/resilience chanted by many inhabitants during ecological events in Louisiana- this research project aims to describe the links and "attachments" (LATOUR, 2017) that different communities in the delta maintain with their geographical environment in a situation of strong ecological tipping point, integrating the natural and artificial infrastructures of the watershed into the definition of ecosystems as socio-political actors in their own right. In a context where the delta's land is gradually sinking into the sea, every hour the surface area of a football pitch is permanently flooded.

Raw or baked? Bricks in heritage buildings
Poser son regard sur une brique, et c’est toute l’histoire de l’humanité qui surgit. Extraite à main d’homme de la terre, crue ou cuite, la brique possède une histoire culturelle et sociale hors normes. Qualifiée de matériau ingrat générant des formes « froides » et géométriques, ou, au contraire, ouvrant et étendant à l’infini le champ des techniques constructives, la brique incarne à elle seule des valeurs antinomiques dans le patrimoine bâti. Module pérenne et fragile, élément constitutif de structure et décor structurant, unique et reproductible (revisitant ainsi fortement la notion d’authenticité), vecteur d’interactions fortes avec son environnement et matériau d’isolation, creuse et pleine, les recherches actuelles portant sur les facettes de ce matériau simple et complexe seront abordées dans le contexte du projet de conservation-restauration du bâti patrimonial.

Between Rome and Las Vegas - France in the 1980s and the postmodern condition
Cette journée d’étude sera consacrée principalement aux années 1980 et aux multiples facettes d'un débat qui a vu la France protagonistes du renouvellement de la scène architecturale et de la remise en cause du "paradigme moderniste". La double influence du débat anglais et italien fait de la France un cas de synthèse emblématique de ces deux courants.

Place-based approaches to emerging architectural, urban design and planning challenges in Africa and the Global South
The fast paced urbanization and mushrooming of metropolitan areas in Africa and the Global South especially in connection with rights and access to basic services, have attracted much attention in the last decades from the public, local experts, decision-makers and international stakeholders. In parallel, other built environments such as emerging small towns, shrinking cities and rural areas are now experiencing important pressures and changes, and are increasingly coming under the spotlight.

What remains of projects? Approaches, methods and shared issues
20th internation conference of the Association for the promotion of teaching and research in urban and regional planning (APERAU)
« Projet ». On se prendrait à rêver d’un monde existant sans ce terme aussi chargé de sens que mécaniquement reproduit et peu questionné. De quoi le projet n’est-il donc pas le nom, d’ailleurs ? Tantôt ou tout à la fois urbain, métropolitain, de développement (durable), de territoire, agricole, grand, structurant, multi-acteur, multi-dimensionnel, négocié, complexe, emblématique, etc, le projet ne manque pas de qualificatifs. De quoi le projet n’est-il donc pas le nom, d’ailleurs ? Un outil, une catégorie autant qu’un dogme, mais surtout une étonnante métaphore plurielle, dont l’incroyable succès tient entre autre à sa très grande plasticité.

Art, a machine for travelling through time
Le voyage dans le temps est un vieux rêve de l’humanité, qui, comme tous les vieux rêves de l’humanité, a trouvé sa place (privilégiée) dans la littérature et dans les arts. Ce colloque sera donc l’occasion de voyager à la fois dans le temps et à travers les arts, puisqu’il sera question, pendant ces quatre jours, non seulement de littérature, mais aussi d’architecture, de peinture, de danse, de musique, de cinéma, de photographie, de bande dessinée…

Visions and Experiences of Urban Change in the Second World
This conference examines socialist cities at their points of entry or exit from the socialist project. The theme of transition into and out of socialism and the (un-)making of socialist cities serves as entry points into broader discussions about the specificity of urban change in the Second World and its relationship to similar currents in the global North and South. The conference examines the content of the socialist city – its “ins and outs” – from power grids and housing stocks to museums and places of worship at these points of transition.

Actors and Vehicles of Architectural Criticism
Architectural Criticism 20th and 21st Centuries, a Cartography
This second international workshop takes into consideration the actors and the vehicles of criticism: with these terms it refers to both the agents of criticism (critics, architects, historians, publishers, photographers, institutions, etc.) and the media through which criticism is disseminated (press, photography, exhibitions, etc.). The workshop aims to expand the knowledge about the specific functions of these actors and their networks and to outline their mutual relationships. The four sessions investigate the links between the actors, the media of criticism, and the historical contexts within which they materialize, as well as the cultural, intellectual, and institutional milieus from which they originate.

Transfers, transgressions, transformations
Evolutions of the American city
Ce colloque international se propose de croiser les approches disciplinaires sur la question des origines et celle de la transmission des identités urbaines. La problématique des transferts des savoirs, qui s’inscrit dans la continuité des colloques et des publications du laboratoire de recherche CRIT permettra d’élargir la réflexion sur la fluidité ou la rémanence de ces représenta. En effet, l’espace urbain a de tout temps accueilli, et parfois rejeté, souvent dans un paradoxe se nourrissant de ces ceux extrêmes, des populations venues d’horizons divers. Dans ce pays d’immigration que sont les États-Unis, le phénomène d’urbanisation est particulièrement propice à ce déploiement d’énergies, ainsi qu’aux brassages culturels et projets économiques et politiques. C’est alors un processus de savoirs entrecroisés qui au fil des années impose aux villes américaines leur géographie humaine si particulière et des spécificités propres.
