  The Multidisciplinary Grid 2020 Conference

  The conference is aimed at examining the ‘grid’ as a cross-disciplinary theme with a multiplicity of expressions in terms of definitions, concepts, perceptions, representations, and histories. The ‘grid’ has played a significant role in shaping the spatial imaginaries of a wide range of fields: from Hippodamus of Miletus to the Cartesian revolution in mathematics, from the visual arts to archaeology to 'smart cities' and artificial intelligence. As the 'grid' has become an all-encompassing term, signifying a vast array of infrastructural and communication networks through which contemporary life is mediated and controlled, it is commonly viewed as a quintessential symbol of modernity. The conference strives to explore a new horizon of relationships and fusion of the ‘grids’ in these areas as manifested between humans, between machines, and between humans and machines ‒ bridging philosophical, cultural, pedagogical, technical and ethical issues.

  Forms of innovation - innovations of form - doctoral study day, 2016

  Journée doctorale 2016

  Les pays développés, mais aussi émergents, identifient en général le progrès et le développement humains à un mouvement global d’amélioration constante des conditions techniques de production appelées « innovation ». Pour sa première journée d’études doctorales, le LIFAM propose aux doctorants dont les recherches portent sur l’architecture, de s’interroger sur la manière dont ce processus désigné par le terme d’« innovation » questionne l’architecture — au sens large de la pensée et de la pratique du projet architectural, urbain, paysager, et de leurs objets —, et comment à son tour l’architecture peut s’emparer des nouvelles conditions d’activité que l’innovation lui impose.
