Dissertation defense

With an international dimension and an open vision of the notion of heritage, this seminar questions the policies and mechanisms of protection and conservation, as well as the logics of consumption or reuse of cultural heritage, whether tangible, intangible or dematerialized, protected or unprotected. It thus stands at the crossroads of the architectural, social, environmental, political and normative issues involved in heritage production. From this perspective, it raises the question of temporal reconfigurations, social productions and appropriations of built heritage, with a particular focus on the expertise, competence and legitimacy of heritage “makers”, with a particular interest in mediation, experimentation and heritage awareness-raising. This seminar aims to become a privileged framework for analyzing the spatial effects of financing mechanisms that complement ministerial policies (such as the Loto du patrimoine or participatory financing), with a particular focus on rural areas or areas in decline. These rural areas, which are often the focus of competitive tourism and revitalization initiatives, as well as cultural and natural landscapes, small and medium-sized towns and urban renewal districts, will all be at the heart of our research. Last but not least, this seminar will address the growing importance of innovation in heritage science, not only in terms of participatory and inclusive approaches, but also in terms of virtual reality, geolocation, social networks and so on.

The teaching team – made up of teacher-researchers from the Architecture Anthropology Laboratory of the UMR CNRS Lavue https://www.laa.archi.fr – and guests will present case studies from France and abroad: Italy, Romania, Brazil, Togo, Senegal, Israel, … 

Assessment is based on a number of intermediate exercises and regular monitoring of work on the dissertation. Attendance and participation are taken into account in grading. Validation is required for the pre-dissertation, the interim dissertation (poster and defense) and the final dissertation (poster and defense).

This seminar focuses on the architectures of collective life: from built heritage to territory, from urban fragment to public space. Based on historical and contemporary cases of varying scales, and on built and unbuilt projects, the aim is to make visible uses, spatial arrangements, types and transformations, with regard to issues of sharing, neighborliness and coexistence, which intrinsically link society and the environment.
Tools for territorial, typological, morphological and structural analysis, as well as a range of theoretical texts and documentary resources, are used to characterize these collective architectures as singular or serial objects. The production of original drawings is combined with reasoned reflection and investigation to produce a truly architectural research project.
