Since 2024, ENSA Paris-la Villette has regularly offered the Pro-Paille training course, which offers a comprehensive approach combining theory and practical exercises, enabling learners to master the principles and techniques in line with the professional rules for straw-bale construction (RPCP 2012) and apply them in construction or renovation projects.

The RPCP 2012, drawn up by the Réseau Français de Construction en Paille, constitute the official and normative framework in France. They define best practices for the use of straw as structural insulation and plaster support.

This continuing education course is aimed at all design, engineering and construction professionals wishing to acquire the skills needed to enter this market, as well as project owners and technical departments wishing to commission and maintain buildings (local authorities, landlords, developers).
No prior knowledge is required.

The next Pro-Paille training course, for a maximum of 15 people, will take place from September 14 to 18, 2026.

Application deadline: June 26, 2026

This post-master’s level certification course is aimed at professionals in the field of planning and the built environment, either working or looking for a job, and at holders of at least 4 years’ higher education with professional experience in architecture, urban planning and/or construction. Validation of prior professional experience is possible.

The next D-PRAUG training course, for up to 20 people, will take place in 2027.

HMONP (Habilitation à la maîtrise d’œuvre en son nom propre) is a training program designed to help architects assume their responsibilities as authors of architectural projects.

At ENSA Paris-la Villette, this training program takes the form of a minimum 6-month work placement and two two-week thematic sessions at the school (end of January/beginning of February and end of June/beginning of July 2027).

ENSAPLV trains classes of 200 candidates.

The new syllabus for the Master’s program, to be introduced at the start of the 2025-2026 academic year, introduces the “Student Pathway” teaching unit. The aim of this change is to better support students in the development of their career plans, taking into account the diversity of architectural practices and professional fields.

On February 24, 2026, the first of four sessions dedicated to the professionalization of S10 students took place, conceived by teachers Élise Macaire and Minna Nordström.

Future graduates had the opportunity to exchange views with ENSAPLV alumni from a variety of backgrounds, and discover the diversity of architectural professions.
