The Palace of the Prince-Bishops of Liège in the Sixteenth Century: Power, Culture and Architecture in the Renaissance

This conference offers a fresh perspective on the Palace of the Prince-Bishops of Liège in the 16th century, examining it as a place of power, representation, and artistic creation. Drawing on a critical re-examination of the archives and a material analysis of the monument, the conference will explore the political, cultural, and architectural ambitions that shaped the palace. Structured around three themes—historical and diplomatic context, artistic and intellectual dynamics, and a study of construction sites, materials, and techniques—it aims to convey the full complexity of this iconic site in the history of the Principality of Liège.

Contextual Physics of Ambiances

International Journal of Sensory Environment, Architecture and Urban Space

Architectural ambiances encompass a complex interplay of sensory, emotional and cultural perceptions that shape how a space is experienced. Regarding their physical dimensions, ambiances include elements such as light, sound, textures, temperature and odours, which are shaped through social and spatial configurations to create a unique experience. The physical metrology of ambiance phenomena, relying on precise measurement tools and protocols, allows for an analysis of the objectifiable dimensions of sensory phenomena.

Goddness and beauty of contemporary architecture

This scientific event focuses on buildings that can be considered both good and beautiful today. By looking more specifically at how those involved in architectural projects negotiate between external constraints and their own opportunities, the conference will examine design processes in contemporary practices.

Artifices and Artefacts

International Congress of Art, Science, and Technology and Digital Arts Seminar (11th CIACT- SAD 2026)

From May 25th to 27th, 2026, BeloHorizonte/MG - Brazil will once more be the site of the International Congress of Art, Science, and Technology and Digital Arts Seminar (11th CIACT-SAD). It has as its theme for this edition: “Artifices &Artefacts”. It emerges from techniques and poetics, from software and code, from manual and automated actions, but also from cultural and artistic objects—whether physical or not—born from production in the intersection of art, science, and technology. The theme of this edition reveals crossings between the analog and the digital without establishing hierarchies.

Figures of naturalism

Perspective Journal, no. 2027 – 1

At a time when ecology has become a major preoccupation and a key issue in political, economic and social terms alike, art historians have resolutely taken on the questions it raises through a profound renewal of their approach to nature. The term “figures”, in the geometrical and metaphorical sense of forms, singular historical and cultural configurations, calls for identifying, investigating and understanding the different definitions of naturalism that the history of art has produced, depending on their specific intellectual contexts.

Marble and sculpture

Dialogue Between Matter and Form: Aesthetic Issues in the Arts and Design

This international symposium explores the aesthetic, technical, and cultural dialogue between marble and sculptural form. By examining marble across art history, contemporary sculpture, architecture, and design, the event aims to understand how matter shapes artistic expression and how creators negotiate between material constraints and formal innovation. The symposium seeks to foster interdisciplinary debate, highlight regional and Mediterranean practices, and propose new perspectives for research, creation, and sustainable development in marble-based artistic practices.

Architecture has a Soil Problem

Clara Journal, thematic issue, no. 13

From the digging of foundations to the sealing of surfaces, architectural practice typically treats soil as ‘dirt’—as matter out of place — an interchangeable substance devoid of specificity, meaning, or vitality. Soils are too often reduced to a passive background for human activity, an empty canvas to build upon rather than a living milieu to design with, within or through. This ignorance indirectly contributes to their depletion and demise. What would it mean to resist this thanatological path and instead reconceptualize both soil and architecture through their entanglements, in relation to the pedogenetic processes they co-produce ?

Specters of Architecture: The Negative Voices of the Project

Architecture and infrastructures are inhabited by specters, which are traces of what has been, but also of what could have been, or what may one day come to be. We propose to read them through the lens of these specters, by paying as much attention to absences as to presences. This symptomatic approach encourages a focus on manifestations of projects, narratives, buildings, and infrastructures that have been imperfectly forgotten.

Spectres de l'architecture

L’architecture et l’infrastructure sont habitées par des spectres qui sont autant de traces de ce qu’elles ont été, mais aussi de ce qu’elles auraient pu être, ou de ce qu’elles seront peut-être un jour. Nous proposons de considérer l’architecture et l’infrastructure sous l’angle de leurs spectres, en portant l’attention sur les absences autant que sur les présences. Selon cette approche symptomale de l’architecture, il s’agirait de nous intéresser aux manifestations spectrales qui débordent de la place qu’on a donnée aux projets, imaginaires, bâtiments, infrastructures qui ont été mal oubliés.

« Turâb’26 » : Expériences de la matérialité de la construction en terre

Every handful of earth holds a story of "de-materiality," where the sensory philosophy of earth coexists with innovations and new technologies that push its technical limits in a desire to destigmatize it. Although durable and ecological, earth as a material faces cultural resistance tied to an image of precariousness, a perception fostered by modernity. Thus, in the context of alarming climate change, reinventing earthen construction has become urgent, if not necessary. This conference approaches research on earthen construction at the crossroads of poetics, engineering, and innovation. By highlighting earth architecture in Tunisia and around the world, it offers a transdisciplinary and resilient perspective on a universal material, putting its inextricably linked material and immaterial dimensions in tension.

Reflection at Work: Representation, Perception and the Making of Light in Art

Depuis quelques années, le développement des Sensory Studies en histoire de l’art tend à réintroduire la prise en compte des perceptions sensorielles dans l’analyse des œuvres (par exemple Constance Claassen pour le toucher, Erika Wicky pour l’odorat, Marta Battisti pour l’ouïe). En s’inscrivant dans ces approches, le workshop « reflets », qui se tiendra à l’INHA (Paris) les 22 et 23 janvier 2026, vise à appréhender de façon interdisciplinaire la question du reflet dans l’art du XVI^e au XVIII^e siècle.

Courtyards and patios in the Mediterranean

The courtyard or patio house, based on the intimate appropriation of a fragment of sky at the heart of the domestic space, is a major archetype of human habitation. Deeply rooted in Mediterranean traditions, it surprises with its longevity and its ability to generate unique expressions, shaped by the diversity of physical and cultural contexts. This archetype, which has spanned the centuries, from the ancient world to contemporary projects, continues to inspire architects, thinkers, and creators, and has regained particular relevance in light of the challenges of the 21st century, as contemporary issues invite us to rethink modes of dwelling. To explore these dimensions, the conference adopts a multidisciplinary approach structured around four cross-cutting themes. It is aimed at a diverse range of profiles—architects, historians, anthropologists, sociologists, archaeologists, artists, writers, climatologists, etc.—drawing on scientific contributions, feedback from architects, and artistic expressions.

The Neglected Times of Architecture

By bringing together diverse disciplinary perspectives, this conference seeks to unfold the multiple temporal dimensions of architecture and the built environment, to foreground the actions, resources, and actors implicated in these processes, and to explore research methodologies capable of apprehending such dynamics. The event will also feature a dedicated space for the exhibition of audio/visual materials stemming from research engaging with these themes. Submissions may therefore take the form of traditional oral presentations, as well as shorter presentations centred on one or more audio/visual pieces—such as photographs, films, drawings, maps...
