Many ENSAPLV projects garnered attention during the “[Re]inventing the Existing 2026” competition
Thirty-three student teams from architecture schools in the Île-de-France region took on the challenge of the 4th edition of this competition, co-organized by the DRAC and the DRIEAT Île-de-France. The initiative aims to raise awareness among future architects about the intersecting issues of heritage, architectural innovation, and the ecological transition. Participants were thus invited to rethink existing structures for a post-carbon future.
Of the ten projects that caught the jury’s attention, half were created by students from ENSAPLV. Congratulations to them and their instructors on this tremendous achievement, which was celebrated on October 21, 2026, during the awards ceremony at the @ARCHITECT@WORK Paris 2026 trade show!
