  Heritages values of 20th century architecture: what recognition?

  Critical review and international forward-looking vision

  The heritage values of 20th century architecture, whether they be cultural, social or technical, remain relatively complex to assess, and thus to share, due to lack of perspective and knowledge. The architectural and urban production of the second half of the 20th century was particularly prolific, sometimes remarkable, even exceptional. The energy, ecological transition, the changing habits and lifestyles are leading to the gradual transformation of this built heritage reaching to the end of its life cycle. Since the 1990-2000’s, a movement for heritage making has developed, which leads to many questions relating to possible and desirable developments of these architectural achievements. This  issue of  In  Situ  seeks  to  take a European or international critical perspective on the architecture of the 20th century and to highlight doctrines and positions adopted, practices and examples of schemes, policies or projects.

  Mediating conflicts between groups with different worldviews

  Approaches and methods

  In recent decades, more and more violent conflicts have a religious or cultural dimension and take place between groups adhering to different religious or secular visions of the state and society. When groups with different worldviews are required to share the same (social, political, virtual, economic, or military) space, this can lead to tensions and give rise to violence—ranging from offensive language to physical attacks and open warfare.

  Emergent economies in a polycentric globalised world

  Perspectives on the advantages and vulnerabilities of the Democratic Republic of the Congo on the horizon, 2030

  Organisé sur une base interdisciplinaire, ce colloque est centré sur les approches théoriques des puissances émergentes et des analyses empiriques appliquées à la République démocratique du Congo (RDC). En privilégiant les approches interdisciplinaires, comparatives, prospectives, géo-économiques, stratégiques et socio-culturelles, il se veut l'occasion d'une réflexion scientifique sur la trajectoire, les ressorts et les potentialités, les atouts et les vulnérabilités de la RDC, considérée à la fois comme un pays en « émergence » et un champ privilégié des pays émergents.
