    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.

    Lieux scéniques à Berlin et à Paris : perspectives franco-allemandes

    Un lieu de musique réinvente-t-il la ville ? Atelier de recherche franco-allemand

    Le Centre de recherches interdisciplinaires sur l’Allemagne (CRIA) initie un programme de recherche sur l'édification de nouveaux lieux de musique dans des espaces urbains en recomposition. Il s'agira d'évaluer dans quelle mesure l'édification d'un nouveau lieu de musique génère-t-elle une refondation des publics et des territoires – espaces environnants, réseaux culturels, projet urbain.    Ce programme de recherche est largement interdisciplinaire, puisqu'il rassemble des historiens, des géographes, des ethnomusicologues, des architectes ou encore des urbanistes.    Plusieurs terrains empiriques ont été retenus dans ce projet franco-allemand (auquel sont associé le Centre Marc Bloch, l'université Humboldt et l'Universität der Kunste de Berlin) : la future Philharmonie de Paris, à l'interface entre Paris et sa banlieue, l’Elbphilharmonie de Hambourg, qui s’inscrit dans un projet de requalification urbaine de la zone portuaire, et le nouvel auditorium de Radio France, "chantier dans un chantier", avec les contraintes d'un bâtiment existant et en activité.  Du 12 au 16 novembre 2012, un atelier de recherche franco-allemand  soutenu par le CIERA combinera exposés de spécialistes de sciences sociales et d’étudiants, et visites de différents sites (Philharmonie de Paris, Radio France, Opéra Bastille, etc.), au cours desquelles seront présentés les lieux mais aussi les différents projets musicaux et culturels en présence de leurs responsables.
