Over the past twenty years, knowledge of the impact of the built environment on the psychosomatic health of users has grown steadily, thanks to the contributions of recent research on body-environment interactions, in disciplines such as environmental psychology, neuroscience and cognitive science in general. This knowledge is paving the way for a different kind of professional practice in architectural design, enabling a significant theoretical and methodological integration of this knowledge to improve understanding of user experience. In the USA and, closer to home, in Denmark, this type of research is already influencing – and perhaps even changing – the professional practice of architectural design. However, research results are often not directly transposable into design strategies, the crucial point being that there is a tendency to want to translate these research results too literally and prematurely into projects. The development of a new aspect in architectural education could perhaps help bridge this gap, by preparing students for a form of interdisciplinary collaboration with scientists.

This course is given in French in the form of lectures/DDs. Continuous participation and oral presentation (by group) at the end of the semester.
Other language of communication: English.

Acquisition of scientific knowledge specific to the vessel project and, more generally, any floating structure.
Learning about developable surfaces.
Exercises linked to the design of a canoe for the Vogalonga, with experimentation through construction to scale 1.

Digital sketch and final model of the canoe.

This option is intended for students of the naval architecture project.
The main focus is on designing a canoe for the Vogalonga. Teaching is organized around the following main themes:
– Hydrostatics: Archimede principle, stability.
– Geometry: Drawing and modeling of developable surfaces on Rhino 3D
– Structure: how to structure a ship’s beam. Coherence between form, function and construction principles.

The course includes theory and practical exercises in connection with the construction of a canoe in developable surfaces for ENSAPLV’s participation in the Vogalonga.

ENSAPLV- 2EME CYCLE MASTER – 2021/2022
Cross-disciplinary course Intra Domaine –
CTID 702/902 Transition énergétique et Eco-construction
Teacher: F. Soucarrat Chaudhuri
Wednesday – 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. – room 210

The law on energy transition for green growth and the accompanying action plans will enable France to make a more effective contribution to the fight against climate change and to strengthen its energy independence.
In this context, we’re particularly interested in hemp and its use in construction, as France is Europe’s leading producer of hemp, with some 11,000 hectares under cultivation. This observation, combined with the climatic and environmental challenges, will lead us to reflect on the development of this sector in the construction industry, in order to move towards a positive ecology that removes obstacles, frees up initiatives and brings tangible benefits to everyone today. In particular, this means speeding up energy-efficient home renovation and improving the energy performance of new buildings.

In addition to thermal performance, tomorrow’s buildings will take four other dimensions into account:
1/ People as users of the building
2/ The territory and connections between the building and its environment
3/ Health and comfort in buildings
4/ The building’s life cycle

Environmental and technological issues: a field of hemp acts as a carbon sink: to grow, the plant absorbs carbon, traps it and stores it. In France, residential and tertiary heating accounts for 25% of final energy consumption. Combating energy consumption in buildings is a duty for the entire profession, not only to users but also to the planet. Building systems combining hemp concrete and lime plaster, inside and out, can provide solutions: 1 m2 of wall 36 cm thick gives a thermal resistance R > 4m2.K/W (according to manufacturer) with low grey energy consumption and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
The result is an insulating construction system with interesting thermal advantages. Another advantage of the material is that it combines the characteristics of both an insulator and a wall, giving it a certain inertia that enables it to store heat for comfort in both summer and winter.
Hemp concrete prepared on site can be poured between panels or sprayed using a machine. Hemp spraying machines have appeared on the market. They come in different sizes and with different principles. The advantage of these machines is that you can spray continuously, farther and higher, and with less water, which reduces execution and drying times.
We’ll be looking at the challenges of using hemp in construction/renovation, particularly in the Ile-de-France region, from hemp production to architectural completion, as well as
LA CONSTRUCTION PAILLE (the straw industry)
LA CONSTRUCTION BOIS (the wood industry)
LA CONSTRUCTION TERRE (the earth industry) and biobased building materials around the world.

This course has three objectives:
– To introduce the links between architecture and ergonomics in the design of workplaces.
– Understand the contribution of ergonomic analysis of work activities to architectural design.
– Understand the role and skills of the architect in interventions aimed at transforming work situations.

This course is open to S7 students.

8/ Other territories? In Ile de France …
The choice of location for the study stay, in December 2020, depending on the accommodation possibilities at the host sites. For a stay in February 2020, it is possible to select a site in the Ile de France region, accessible with a Navigo Pass.

PEDAGOGICAL OBJECTIVES:
For example, in the case of Ile d’Yeu, our preferred territory:
– understand how a territory with a strong cultural identity functions in terms of architecture, urban planning, heritage, landscape, geography, economics and sustainable development.
– read, learn, develop :
– reports, geology, climatology, geography, natural resources and architecture; town planning, agriculture, crafts, economy, demography,
– historical scenarios of territorial, human and natural occupation,
– identify construction periods by reading architectural and urban stylistic periods,
– understand and measure the importance of local resources and materials in the technical and constructive results of island building and urban planning,
– understand the importance of social/political issues in architectural and urban choices, and the relationship of architecture and urban planning to territory and landscape,
– understand the differences between “nature”, “artificial nature”, transformation of the territory, authentic and false culture, culture for tourism “artifice and counterfeit”,
– carry out a parcel-by-parcel and global analysis of the landscape and study the past/current/future impact on the landscape of agriculture, the economy, urban planning, politics, tourism and other factors of change…
– measure the advantages and disadvantages, the dangers, for heritage, generated by tourist activities, the quality of transformations, renovations and rehabilitations, adequate or inadequate, lasting or ephemeral, in relation to local architecture and urban planning and more broadly on a regional scale,
– experiment with a method of analysis and observation (social history, geomorphology, plot typology, architectural typology, urban chronology). This methodology should enable lucid, clear-sighted and cultivated rehabilitation, and sustainable maintenance interventions that respect the urban and landscape architectural heritage,
– interpret sustainable development as applied to this island territory, in the context of the “Grenelle de l’environnement”,
– understand “island” social life and other mobility factors.
