Europan 18 competition results unveiled

The Project “L’ombre portée” by Antoine Robert and Pierre Renault, first-year master’s students, is one of the 14 cabins selected by the jury of this architecture festival, which has been held for the past eleven years in the Sources du Lac d’Annecy community of municipalities, an area located between Annecy and Albertville.

Between late May and late June, the two winners built their treehouse to scale, with the help of their friend Pierre-Louis Noyelle, on the natural site that had been assigned to them in advance in the town of Giez.

The 14 huts offer a fresh perspective on seven municipalities and their geography: Chevaline, Val de Chaise, Doussard, Giez, Lathuile, Saint-Ferréol, and Faverges-Seythenex. These temporary installations will remain in place for the duration of the festival, from June 27 to November 6, 2026.

Be sure to check it out this summer!

“Immediate Departure” is a travel program that enables young architects to gain valuable experience through travel by setting out to discover different ways of thinking about cities and regions and to examine, on the ground, the state of the European landscape in light of contemporary challenges and the environmental, economic, political, cultural, and social transitions underway in Europe.

The call for applications is organized by the Quartus Endowment Fund for Architecture, in partnership with the Ministry of Culture, the Cité de l’architecture et du patrimoine, the Atelier Parisien d’Urbanisme, the AREP Group, and MAF, and is co-organized with ENSA Paris-Est on behalf of the network of French National Schools of Architecture.

Deadline for project submissions: September 6, 2026

The Pavillon de l’Arsenal is launching the 2026 edition of its FAIRE call for projects, dedicated to design and urban innovation, architectural and landscape design, aimed at anyone who wishes to invent new ways of shaping the city in the Greater Paris area.

This call for projects aims to encourage young creators and recently established organizations by awarding grants to eight winners, including one student prize.

Camille Chenal-Mitterrand, a Master 2 student, is a member of one of the eight multi-disciplinary winning teams in the “Dressing the palisades of the Notre-Dame construction site” competition organized by the City of Paris and the CAUE 75.

While we wait for the prize-winning graphic designs to dress the palisades of the construction site between 2026 and 2028, it’s already possible to browse and zoom in on the entire line designed by each team on the CAUE 75 website.

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.

Friday February 20 marked the start of the incubation year for Banc d’Essai(s) class 2026. Sixteen business projects in the architectural professions were selected, ranging from craftsmanship to planning consultancy, engineering and project management. The diversity of these profiles and aspirations promises great potential for development.

The first of nine two-day sessions, led by Cécila Campion, founder of consulting firm KiRoMa, was devoted to corporate strategy and profitability.

The young (future) entrepreneurs were also able to meet their “tutors”: Guillaume Duranel and Frédéric Blaise, ALT, Étienne Barré and Pierre-Alain Bouchetard, B2A, Jeanne Gerbeaud and Armelle Goyon, JAGG, Francesca Coden and Lorenzo Santosuosso, OBLÒ, and Déborah Feldman and Baptiste Potier, 127af. One of the special features of the ENSA Paris-la Villette incubator is that incubatees benefit from individual coaching and experience-sharing by alumni with varied profiles and proven track records.
