Bobigny Délire

par Maxime Caudrelier et Malaury Pierre, étudiants en M1

Everyone dreams of finding their El Dorado. Their oasis of freshness. A building that breathes, a green building where you can garden with your neighbors in the heart of a city. A place where you don’t just live in your living room, but in a variety of common spaces. Come visit your reality of tomorrow.

CASANOVA

by Alix Godfrin and Angèle Naudin, M2 student

Waiting for the storm

by Romane Toussaint, M1 student

Where rain accumulates, the habitat becomes soaked. This project proposes rethinking the use of an office building as a true hydraulic machine in order to coexist with water. It offers a model based on ‘working with,’ welcoming water and transforming it into a resource rather than a threat.

From desk to plate, DÈMEN KA KILTIVÉ

by Morgane Lelouey-Rault, M1 student

    The DRAC d’Île-de-France and CROAIF are organizing two information events to promote the missions of State Architects and Planners (AUE) and increase the number of registrations for the AUE competition, a civil service management body.

    During these meetings, which will take place simultaneously by videoconference and in person at the Chapelle des Récollets (Paris 10th arrondissement), AUEs from the Ministries of Culture, Ecological Transition, the Armed Forces and Europe and Foreign Affairs will give presentations and answer participants’ questions on :

    • training courses available to prepare for the competition ;
    • the competition, tests and expectations (timetable, skills required, etc.) ;
    • jobs in government departments: urban renewal, landscape evolution, project management, heritage preservation, ENSA… ;
    • career development in the civil service.

    Both events will be hosted by Olivier Lerude, Head of the Regional Department of Architecture and Heritage Spaces (SRAEP) at DRAC Île-de-France.
