TAP Project—Architecture and Landscape Transitions, Thematic Day 1/9
How can we train architects to repair the world as it is?
The seminar “Heritage Restoration and the Evolution of Architectural Professions,” organized by ENSAP Lille and the École de Chaillot as part of the TAP project, aims to build bridges between emerging professional practices and education to foster a more collaborative, understated, and locally rooted approach to architecture.
On the agenda: practical case studies in the morning (Couvent des Clarisses, Hôtel Pasteur, Chaire Post-Minier), followed by afternoon workshops to explore in greater depth methods for territorial diagnosis, on-site prototyping, and collaborative governance, and to apply them to an educational project.
Speakers included:
- Mélusine Pagnier, Ph.D. in Architecture, LACTH Laboratory / Lille National School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture
- Martin Fessard, Ph.D. in Architecture & carpenter, faculty member and researcher at the École nationale supérieure d’architecture et de paysage de Lille / LACTH Laboratory
- Sophie Ricard, architect and urban planner, director of Notre Atelier Commun
- Simon Givelet, architect, professor at the École nationale supérieure d’architecture et de paysage de Lille, and co-founder of Saisons Zéro at the Monastery of the Poor Clares in Roubaix.
The TAP project, winner of the “Skills and Professions of the Future” call for proposals, aims to transform architecture and landscape architecture training programs over the 2025–2030 period in order to address the challenges of the digital and ecological transitions. Led by a consortium of higher education institutions and professional organizations, the TAP project is a true collaborative effort dedicated to transforming professions in the built environment and urban planning sectors.
ENSA Paris-la Villette is a member of the TAP project consortium.
