  Gender Dynamics and Practices in Architecture, Urbanism and Landscape Architecture

  In France, as in several other countries, the professions of architect, urban planner and landscape architect have crossed a historic threshold in terms of feminization. However, numerical parity does not mean men and women have equal professional opportunities: numerous demands of feminist associations remain unsatisfied. They note the persistence of many professional inequalities: in terms of income, in terms of financial control and job insecurity, in terms of visibility, and in terms of recognition. This call for papers aims to gather contributions for an assessment of the gains and limits of feminization and gender dynamics at work in the professional worlds of architecture, urban planning and landscape architecture in France, fifty years after the "massive" entry of women into architecture schools in 1968.

  Thinking - Making. Perspectives on the growing prominence of making in architecture

  This conference explores the growing prominence of making in architecture, as manifested by architects who engage more directly in building practices, dealing more closely with materials and techniques. The colloquium proposes to investigate a diverse set of cases where making is re-evaluated and celebrated. It calls for papers along three lines of inquiry: historical and theoretical perspectives on the evolution of the relationship between thinking and making, and its consequences in architecture, case studies that assess the motivations and values of actors involved in making in the field of architecture, investigations into the means and tools that aim at a closer relationship between designers, materials and built forms.

  Le Séminaire de conception architecturale numérique (SCAN), devenu un des rendez-vous de la communauté francophone de l’architecture, est une conférence qui rassemble des chercheurs autour de questionnements portant sur les implications du numérique en conception architecturale. Après avoir abordé les thèmes de l’esquisse numérique (2005), de l’image numérique (2007), des approches environnementales (2009), de l’espace collaboratif (2010), des complexités des modèles de l’architecture numérique (2012), de(s) l’interaction(s) des maquettes numériques (2014), cette 7^e édition prolonge la réflexion engagée depuis une dizaine d’années en se donnant pour thème « Mètre et paramètre, mesure et démesure du projet ».
