Garden cities for the 21st century
Valorization, preservation and challenges in France, Europe and the world
The aim of this symposium is to put into perspective the different dimensions of a common heritage stemming from the garden city concept developed by Ebenezer Howard in 1898. An overview of the situation, a comparative approach and postulations on possible futures are expected. Four lines of thought and questioning are envisaged. The themes will transversally address the dimension of the built environment and the outdoor space, at different scales encompassing collective spaces of sociability, materiality of places, representations, practices, and so forth.

Space(s) of care, tension and presence
Above all, the call for papers emphasizes the correlation between hospitality and space. Jacques Godbout, in his article "Receiving is to give", specifies that hospitality is a "gift of space". So what are the characteristics of these given spaces? Are they permanent, temporary or transitional? Are there inherent areas of hospitality? And how are they built? From hospitals to home, what are these spaces and what is their spatial nature? And what meaning of hospitality do these spaces convey? What kind of space does hospitality produce?

Inventing Grand Paris: comparative approaches to metropolises in the 1970s-2000
Regards croisés sur les métropoles des années 1970 à l'an 2000
Quatrième temps du programme pluriannuel sur l’histoire du Grand Paris, ce colloque international mobilise, dans une perspective transnationale et interdisciplinaire, les connaissances de la recherche urbaine. Il s’inscrit dans la continuité des trois précédents colloques réunis à la Cité de l’architecture et du patrimoine et au Petit Palais en 2013, 2014 et 2015. Ces journées d’études et de débats avaient mis en lumière les premiers projets d’aménagement et d’organisation du Grand Paris du début du XXe siècle aux années Delouvrier.

Inventing Grand Paris: comparative approaches to metropolises in the 1970s-2000
Le quatrième colloque international « Inventer le Grand Paris » s’inscrit dans un programme pluriannuel de recherche sur l’histoire du Grand Paris qui s’est développé dans une perspective transnationale et interdisciplinaire. À partir de dates clés de l’histoire du Grand Paris, ce programme propose d’éclairer son actualité en confrontant sa planification et son aménagement à ceux d’autres métropoles à travers le monde. Ainsi, le colloque initial (2013) a pris comme point de départ les travaux de la Commission d’extension de Paris de 1913, première expression d’un projet pour le Grand Paris. Le deuxième (2014) correspondait à la période du premier Plan d’aménagement de la région parisienne, dit plan Prost, de 1934. Le troisième (2015) a porté sur les années quarante jusqu'au Schéma directeur d’aménagement et d’urbanisme de la région de Paris (SDAURP) de 1965. Le colloque de 2016 portera sur les dernières décennies du vingtième siècle, entre 1970, fin d’une période de forte croissance, et 2001, début d’un nouveau cycle qui sera marqué par la relance de la thématique du « Grand Paris ».

Symbol and Design in Contemporary Churches
The Third International Seminar intends to be an appointment of critical reflection on the difficulties that symbol has gone through in the twentieth-century liturgical architecture. After years of lack of interest for all related subjects, during the last decades architecture is devoting increasing attention to symbol, this way highlighting the ongoing corresponding anthropological transformation. However, this kind of research also requires mature awareness both of the reasons why it has become necessary nowadays and of the inter-disciplinary developments it has generated during the twentieth century. In the Catholic background there are two unavoidable reference points: Romano Guardini and the dogmatic pronouncements of the Second Vatican Council that acknowledged the importance of symbols.

Ramau conferences – 2014
Following the study days dedicated to “architectural and town planning professions faced with the involvement of residents and users” in 2012 and “sustainable town planning and architecture know-how and models” in 2013, the aim of the Ramau 2014 conferences is to concentrate on the relations between sustainability and “management” in the field of urban development and architecture. The incorporation of sustainable development in architectural, urban and landscaping operations seems to have the effect of increasing the concern for management logic in the project process.
