3. The WFP 1968-72 Rural Housing Program in Morocco

- Abstract
This paper deals with the 1968–72 Rural Housing Program in Morocco, jointly developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations’ (FAO) World Food Programme (WFP), the United Nations Development Programme (PNUD), and the Moroccan government. Considered the most important undertaking of the WFP or other UN agencies at the time, its main objective was to modernize rural habitat and local collective facilities using the WFP’s “food-for-work” approach, in order to support the territorial transformations required to meet the agricultural development objectives of the country’s 1968–72 five-year plan. Concurrently, it was also conceived as a practical measure to contain rural exodus and buttress the ongoing agrarian reform. The program envisaged the production of a total of 90,000 dwellings (either newly built or renovated) throughout the country. For this purpose, a dedicated research center formed mostly by foreign experts—the Centre d’expérimentation, de recherche et de formation (CERF)—was specially created in 1967 under the authority of the Ministry of Interior in Rabat and entrusted with carrying out the project. In this chapter, we argue that the Rural Housing Program generalizes and amplifies a set of development actions, intentions, policies, and practices already initiated and promoted in post-war Morocco by various national and international actors: policies based on “self-help” approaches (such as the Promotion nationale, a national program of voluntary participation in public works, or early UN-supported “Community Development” programs); the emergence of “ruralism,” a new technical and ideological approach to rural planning; and the involvement of foreign expertise and international organizations. From this perspective, the WFP 1968–72 Rural Housing Program, an experiment still largely unknown in the literature, epitomizes the climax of rural development-driven approaches reached in the 1960s, known globally as the “development decade” an, info:eu-repo/semantics/published

- Abstract
Au cours du XXe siècle, l’architecture et l’urbanisme modernes ont privilégié la ville comme terrain de prédilection, gardant leurs distances avec le rural. Ce numéro thématique de CLARA Architecture/Recherche examine des projets architecturaux et d’aménagement du territoire conçus dans le cadre de transformations de grande envergure du paysage rural dans différents pays et à des périodes distinctes (Portugal du milieu du siècle, Italie d’après-Seconde Guerre mondiale, Union soviétique de l’entre-deux-guerres, Grèce de l’après-Première Guerre mondiale et Maroc indépendant). La présente introduction part du constat selon lequel les pratiques architecturales et urbanistiques et leurs historiographies ont insuffisamment conceptualisé le rural. Elle avance le terme réformes agraires pour désigner l’objet de recherche abordé dans cette livraison de la revue, et rendre ainsi possible la comparaison transnationale d’exemples assimilables. Sur la base de travaux récents d’histoire globale et transnationale (de l’agriculture), cet essai introductif propose un cadre général utile pour situer ces expériences par rapport, d’une part, aux politiques de modernisation agricole et rurale, et d’autre part, aux conjonctures historiques dans les pays européens et frontaliers concernés. Enfin, il délimite certaines questions disciplinaires que ces objets de recherche soulèvent, ainsi que différents axes de recherche auxquels ils pourraient contribuer., ENGLISH VERSION: Fisher, A.

- Abstract
Over the twentieth century, modern architecture and planning have privileged the urban realm as their preferred field of operations, engaging with the rural realm through different but mostly distant attitudes. This themed issue of CLARA Architecture/Recherche examines architectural designs and planning schemes developed within the frame of large-scale transformation of the rural landscape in different national and chronological settings (mid-century Portugal, post-Second World War Italy, interwar Soviet Union, post-First World War Greece, and independent Morocco). This introduction argues that the rural needs to be more conceptualized by architectural and planning practices and their histories. It proposes land reforms as a unifying term to designate this issue’s research object and enable transnational comparisons of similar cases. Building on recent scholarship in global and transnational (agricultural) histories, it provides a framework for situating these case studies within broader agricultural and rural modernization policies and European and bordering countries’ historical contexts. It delineates the discipline-specific issues they raise and the streams of scholarship to which they may contribute., info:eu-repo/semantics/inPress, VERSION EN FRANÇAIS: Fisher, A. (2023).

- Abstract
Cette huitième livraison de la revue CLARA Architecture/Recherche présente un dossier thématique Modernisme de plein air constitué sous la direction de Axel Fisher (Université libre de Bruxelles), Aleksa Korolija et Cristina Pallini (Politecnico di Milano). Les six essais qui y sont rassemblés discutent plusieurs expériences d’arrière-garde qui se sont attachées à proposer des solutions et des visions d’architecture rurale et d’urbanisme villageois. Ces projets, réalisés ou non et préparés au sein ou pour des institutions étatiques ou para-étatiques, nous renvoient aux tensions entre expérimentalisme de l’expression architecturale, volonté de modernisation des campagnes, et caractère prétendument atavique du monde rural.L’essai introductif propose un cadre théorique et conceptuel pour situer ces expériences par rapport aux réformes agraires et aux récentes avancées sur le sujet dans le domaine de l’histoire mondiale de l’agriculture, de l’histoire globale et transationale. Elle questionne le rôle des savoirs et savoirs-faire architecturaux – entre subordination et innovation – vis-à-vis des politiques publiques de modernisation rurale.Le dossier « Archives » présente les projets de rénovation de l’habitat rural développées au Maroc par l’architecte et coopérant belge Jean Hensens notamment au sein du CERF (Centre d’expérimentation, de recherche et de formation), un organisme de recherche et d’études dépendant du ministère de l’Intérieur.En clôture du volume, un « Aparté » signé par Alice Paris revient sur son mémoire de fin d’études, lauréat du Prix annuel de la Faculté, portant sur quelques architectures notables en tôle ondulée., This eighth issue of the journal CLARA Architecture/Recherche welcomes a themed section dedicated to Modernism Outbound and guest-edited by Axel Fisher (Université libre de Bruxelles), Aleksa Korolija, and Cristina Pallini (Politecnico di Milano). The six essays gathered here discuss several rearguard experiments developping original solutions and visions of rural architecture and village town planning. These blueprints and schemes, whether realized or not and prepared within or for state or para-state organizations, reflect the tensions between the experimentalism of architectural expression, the ambition to modernize the countryside, and rurality’s alleged atavism.The introductory essay offers a theoretical and conceptual framework to situate these experiments in relation to agrarian reforms and recent advances on the subject in the field of world history of agriculture, global, and transnational history. It questions the role of architectural knowledge and know-how – between subordination and innovation – within the frame of rural modernization policies.The “Archives” section presents the rural housing renovation projects developed in Morocco by the Belgian architect and “coopérant”, Jean Hensens, in particular during his time spent at the CERF (Centre d’expérimentation, recherche et formation), a research and training organization dependent on the Ministry of Interior.At the end of this issue, an “Aside” signed by Alice Paris looks back on her end-of-studies thesis, winner of the annual Faculty Prize, covering some notable architectures in corrugated iron., info:eu-repo/semantics/published, 1

- Abstract
The thesis discusses the phenomenon of bottom-up urban regeneration, with particular reference to projects employing cultural strategies. This particular form of regeneration, considered alternative to more traditional ones, despite having been acknowledged as effective by a variety of professional and academic actors, is often misunderstood, and its effectiveness in relation to the declared objectives has rarely been demonstrated in a comprehensive, scientific way. Self-organized, spontaneous, and informal initiatives in the urban environment have been recognized by academics as proper forms of urbanism developed by common people. However, these are often considered temporary and not capable of producing structural, large-scale, and long-term effects. This thesis, instead, investigates to what extent initiatives developed by bottom-up actors may be effective in relation to one of the more ambitious goals in the urban environment -urban regeneration- considering three main categories of impacts: physical, social and economic. Projects employing cultural strategies in their development have been investigated specifically, because they are considered to be more likely to be capable of triggering regeneration. As demonstrated by academic literature, in fact, urban regeneration strategies often rely on cultural activities to lead to more comprehensive urban improvements. The thesis analyses and evaluates the impact of two projects considered European best-practices of bottom-up cultural urban regeneration: Farm Cultural Park in Favara, Sicily, and NDSM wharf in Amsterdam. The first arose from the attempt of two citizens to trigger the regeneration of the historic South Italian town where they lived; the second from the activities developed by a self-organized group in order to regenerate a former industrial area of the Amsterdam harbour, with additional involvement of public actors.The two cases, despite the different characteristics of the contexts in which they are lo, Cette thèse aborde le phénomène de la régénération urbaine bottom-up, avec une référence particulière aux projets mettant en œuvre des stratégies culturelles. Cette forme particulière de régénération, considérée comme alternative à d'autres plus traditionnelles, bien qu'ayant été reconnue comme efficace par une variété d'acteurs professionnels et académiques, est souvent mal comprise, et son efficacité par rapport aux objectifs déclarés a rarement été démontrée de manière exhaustive et scientifique.Les initiatives autogérées, spontanées et informelles dans l'environnement urbain ont été reconnues par les universitaires comme des formes appropriées d'urbanisme, développées par de simples citoyens. Cependant, elles sont souvent considérées comme temporaires et inaptes à produire des effets structurels, à grande échelle et à long terme. Cette thèse, au contraire, étudie dans quelle mesure les initiatives développées par des acteurs bottom-up sont efficaces par rapport à l'un des objectifs les plus ambitieux dans l'environnement urbain –la régénération urbaine. Trois catégories principales d'impacts sont envisagées :physique, social et économique. Les projets employant des stratégies culturelles dans leur développement ont été plus spécialement étudiés, car on estime qu'ils sont plus susceptibles de déclencher une régénération. Comme le démontre la littérature académique, en effet, les stratégies de régénération urbaine s'appuient souvent sur les activités culturelles pour conduire à des améliorations urbaines plus globales.Cette thèse analyse et évalue l'impact de deux projets réputés représenter les meilleures pratiques européennes en matière de régénération urbaine culturelle bottom-up: le Farm Cultural Park à Favara, en Sicile, et le quai NDSM à Amsterdam. Le premier découle de la tentative de deux citoyens de déclencher la régénération de la ville historique du sud de l'Italie où ils vivaient ;le second, des activités développées par un groupe autogéré en vue de ré, Doctorat en Art de bâtir et urbanisme (Architecture), info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

12. Foreign aid for rural development: village design and planning in post-independence Morocco

- Abstract
During the late colonial era and after independence, different international organisations engaged in donating foreign aid to Morocco. The United Nations’ technical assistance initiatives were not limited to tackling urban issues, but also engaged in ambitious schemes targeting the rural realm. Among them, the Lalla Mimouna community development project (1957–65), the Projet Sebou (1963–80), and the Programme dʼhabitat rural (1967–72). All three projects showed a concern for the physicality of the rural environment, which is read in this article through a common theme: the village as a rural development and planning unit.Given that they each focus on the geographical area of the Gharb plain, these projects offer a cross-section over the entanglements between their supporting international organizationsʼ underlying development policies and the disciplinary expertise of village planning and design. After providing an overview of the shifting and competing development agendas of the aforementioned UN bodies, we discuss each of the case studies on the basis of unpublished archival material. Then, we discuss the overlaps in the UN bodies’ development ideologies in relation to the persisting ideologies inherited from the colonial era, and their selective appropriation by Moroccan polities. Finally, we argue that whereas planning practices were highly sensitive to the shifting paradigms of international aid organizations, village and rural architectural design remained relatively autonomous. This raises questions concerning the capacity of the disciplines of planning and development studies to carry out their emancipatory missions., SCOPUS: ar.j, info:eu-repo/semantics/published

- Abstract
At a time where the African built environment is undergoing fast-paced urban, institutional and environmental changes, there is an increasing interest in alternative architectural solutions, urban designs and comprehensive planning experiments. This book provides the readers with a wide overview of place-based planning and design experiments addressing such large transformations. The international and balanced array of authors explores emerging research concepts for understanding urban and peri-urban processes in Africa and discusses bottom- up planning and design practices for steering such change through public spaces, sustainable services and infrastructures. Additional contributions further present inspirational and innovative co-design methods and participatory tools. The book is directed at students, researchers, decision-makers and practitioners engaged in planning and design for the built environment in Africa and the Global South., 0, Endorsements (Kabata Kabamba, Haïm Yacobi, Marcello Balbo) Preface 1.

- Abstract
Modernist Reinventions of the Rural Landscape explores rural topographies produced by large-scale agricultural development and colonisation schemes planned and carried out in the 20th Century. Based on applied research conducted as part of an EU-funded project, this book collates material from an interdisciplinary and international consortium of leading and early-career researchers. Over the course of the book, eleven case studies throughout Europe and beyond are studied to investigate Modernist rural development schemes which were pivotal to Nation, and State, building policies. They provided a testing ground for the ideas of scientists, architects, engineers, planners, landscape architects and artists, who converged around a shared challenge. The book focuses on a number of interrelated themes: the politics and policies of modernisation, agricultural development and internal colonisation; the landscapes produced by the implementation of these policies, the Modernist architecture created in planned settlements; the means by which these were promoted and celebrated in propaganda and culture; the memories of people who lived through these times and the question of what to do with many of the remains of these settlements in terms of cultural heritage. Using a wide range of evidence-based research from primary and secondary data sources, including policy analysis, archival material, field surveys, historical landscape mapping and interviews, illustrated in full colour, this book covers a field of growing importance for landscape planning, heritage management and architectural history., 0, info:eu-repo/semantics/submittedForPublication, 1

Urbanisme et architecture (aspect sociologique) ,Architecture et art urbain - Abstract
At first sight, there is a contradiction between ‘modernist’ and ‘rural’. Yet throughout the 20th century, many European States imagined, adopted and implemented large scale development and agricultural schemes to modernise the countryside. The modernisation of rural areas often involved the shifting of population and the creation of new urban nodes or consolidation of existing centres. This paper aims at exploring the relationship between these new communities and the definition of their identities. Which are the means to create a new community? How the diverse states shaped a new identity for heterogeneous groups of people? Examples from the EU-Hera funded project MODSCAPES will be use to explore the thesis., Auf den ersten Blick besteht ein Widerspruchzwischen “modern” und“ländlich”. Doch im Laufe des 20. Jahrhundertshaben viele europäische Staatengroß angelegte Entwicklungs- undLandwirtschaftsprogramme zur Modernisierungdes ländlichen Raums umgesetzt.Die Modernisierung der ländlichenGebiete beinhaltete immer den Aufbaueiner neuen Gesellschaft, die sich nurdank einer neuen Identität bilden kann.Ziel dieses Beitrags ist es, anhand vonBeispielen aus den Fallstudien des ProjektsMODSCAPES zu untersuchen, wieneue Gesellschaften und Identitäten fürdie modernen ländlichen Landschaftengeschaffen wurden., info:eu-repo/semantics/published

- Abstract
Worldwide, urban areas are being challenged to improve the conventional stormwater management regime (i.e. the totality of beliefs, rules and practices that guide water management activities). Illustrated as the Water Sensitive City (WsC), the envisioned new regime aims to solve water problems, to adapt to future uncertainties (e.g. increase of extreme events), to create a more liveable urban environment and to reflect the aspi-ration of the community related to water. Brussels-Capital Region (BCR) is a representa-tive case for experiencing a transition towards a WsC. The regional administration still relies on a centralised decision-making process to extend current infrastructure using conventional actions, such as underground retention basins. Meanwhile, the overflow of the combined (with wastewater) sewer system during large precipitations – leading to urban flooding in streets and household basements and to pollution of surface water – reveals a weakness of the current regime. Moreover, external pressures from the European water directives impose a reduction of water-related hazards, integrated water management and public participation in the process. These conditions open up the possi-bility of the emergence of alternative actions. At local level, neighbourhood committees, non-profit organisations and municipal public administrations propose alternative actions to harvest, infiltrate and drain stormwater on the surface by including various stakehold-ers (and citizens) in a co-production process. This research explores the hypothesis of how alternative actions contribute to a transition in the water regime in dense urban are-as with a low level of water-related hazards by investigating different case studies locat-ed in BCR. The capacity of alternative actions to trigger changes in the regime is condi-tioned by the processes that produce them and by their influence on the emergence of subsequent actions. More specifically, the co-production of alternative action, Dans le monde entier, les zones urbaines font face au défi de faire évoluer le régime conventionnel de la gestion des eaux pluviales (l’ensemble des croyances, règles et pratiques qui guident les activités de gestion de l’eau). L’apparition d’un « nouveau » régime, désigné par le concept de la « ville sensible à l’eau », a ainsi pour objectif de résoudre les problèmes techniques liés à la gestion des eaux, de s’adapter aux incertitudes futures (par ex. l’augmentation des catastrophes naturelles), de créer des environnements urbains plus accueillants et de matérialiser le lien direct que les habitants veulent retrouver avec l’eau. D’après certaines recherches (Truffer et al. 2010; Smith, Stirling, and Berkhout 2005), le régime de gestion de l’eau actuel fait preuve d’une profonde inertie de part les habitudes bien ancrées des acteurs quant à la façon de développer et d’utiliser les technologies existantes. Ainsi, la transition vers un nouveau régime nécessite des changements à différents niveaux de la société :une adoption plus large des innovations au niveau local, un renouvellement des pratiques actuelles et une augmentation des pressions externes forçant le changement (Schot et Geels 2008). La Région de Bruxelles-Capitale (RBC) illustre parfaitement comment les pressions externes et les perturbations du régime peuvent constituer des conditions propices à l'émergence « des pratiques alternatives » dans la gestion des eaux. En effet, l’administration régionale s’appuie encore sur un processus décisionnel centralisé ayant pour objectif d’étendre les infrastructures existantes au moyen des pratiques conventionnelles, telles que les bassins d’orage. Or, les débordements récurrents du réseau d’égouts (qui combinent eaux de pluie et eaux usées) lors des fortes précipitations sont une preuve de la faiblesse de ce régime de gestion :des inondations urbaines surviennent régulièrement dans les rues et les sous-sols des ménages, associées à une pollution des eaux de surface., Doctorat en Art de bâtir et urbanisme (Architecture), iiTSE, info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

- Abstract
This thesis explores and discusses the issue of urban waste through the lens of urban metabolism. Although research on waste largely focuses on the technical aspects of waste treatment and management, current demands for a “sustainable” and “circular” transition call for a broadening of the scope of analysis exploring new integrative approaches. In the same way, urban metabolism research is widely interpreted in its most technical sense, as the analysis of energy and material flowing into, within, and out of cities, even though scholars are now calling for more interdisciplinary engagements to better understand the connections between these flows and their underpinning sociotechnical systems. This thesis aims to test the capacity of the “metabolic lens” to build insights into the complexity of contemporary waste management and recycling, combining the more technical and socio-political stances of urban metabolism research. To do so, it gathers three research projects that build on different epistemological angles and research methods dealing with the issue of biowaste, focusing in particular on (i) decentralised treatment technologies, (ii) waste management scales, and (iii) waste recycling practices. Analyses are based on extensive literature review (for technologies) and empirics collected in the case of the city-region of Brussels (for scales and practices). If the results of these works aim to potentially support decision and policy-making processes in the current sustainable and circular transition, for the purposes of this thesis, they serve to stage a conclusive reflection on the contribution of the metabolic lens and the way to steer more integrative engagements in urban metabolism research., Cette thèse vise à explorer la question des déchets sous l'angle du métabolisme urbain. Bien que la recherche sur les déchets urbains se concentre largement sur les aspects techniques du traitement et de la gestion des déchets, la demande actuelle pour une transition "durable" et "circulaire" appelle à un élargissement du champ d'analyse vers des approches plus intégratives. De la même manière, la recherche sur le métabolisme urbain est largement interprétée dans son sens le plus technique, comme l'analyse de l'énergie et des matériaux entrant, circulant, et sortant des villes, même si les chercheurs demandent maintenant des engagements plus interdisciplinaires pour mieux comprendre les liens entre ces flux et leurs systèmes sociotechniques sous-jacents. L'objectif de la thèse est de tester la capacité du « prisme métabolique » à comprendre la complexité de la gestion contemporaine et du recyclage des déchets en combinant les aspects plus techniques et sociopolitiques de la recherche sur le métabolisme urbain. Pour faire cela, elle rassemble trois travaux de recherche qui s'appuient sur des angles épistémologiques et des méthodes de recherche différents pour explorer la question des biodéchets, et en particulier (i) les technologies de traitement décentralisé, (ii) les échelles de gestion, et (iii) les pratiques de recyclage des déchets. Ces études sont basées sur une analyse de la littérature (pour les technologies) et sur des données empiriques collectées dans le cas de la Région de Bruxelles-Capitale (pour les échelles et pratiques). Si les résultats de ces travaux visent à soutenir potentiellement les processus de prise de décision et d'élaboration de politiques dans le cadre de l’actuelle transition durable et circulaire, ils servent, aux fins de la thèse, à élaborer une théorie sur la contribution du prisme métabolique à l’analyse et la manière d'orienter des engagements plus intégratives dans la recherche sur le métabolisme urbain., Doctorat en Art de bâtir et urbanisme (Architecture), iiTSE, info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

- Abstract
This volume gathers the papers presented at the international conference “Modernism, Modernisation and the Rural Landscape”, held at the EMÜ-Estonian University of Life Sciences and at the Estonian National Museum in Tartu, from June 11th to 13th, 2018. This conference, organized within the frame of the EU-funded MODSCAPES research project, by the Chair of Landscape Architecture at the Estonian University of Life Sciences, in collaboration with CIVILSCAPE, as part of the European Year of Cultural Heritage 2018, and received the additional support from the Belgian Fund for Scientific Research F.R.S.-FNRS. Over and all, the 44 papers collected here offer, probably for the first time at this scale, a broad overview of the wide range of experiments and conditions testifying of the engagement of modernism towards the rural question. In particular, they question to which extent the concept of “modernist rural landscapes” can help framing a multitude of local, regional or national episodes in the history of architecture, planning and landscapes, as a trans-national phenomenon., info:eu-repo/semantics/published

While there has been an enduring scholarly interest for what we have named “Modernist Rural Landscapes” within MODSCAPES, few have attempted to approach the topic for what they primarily are: agricultural development policies. To which extent are Modernist Rural Landscapes in fact the result of a “development” policy, and of which kind of development are we actually talking about? *** Some empiric observations on the case studies considered within MODSCAPES show the oscillation of such policies between a limited number of well-established and fundamentally opposed farming models: the isolated small-holders family farm on one hand, and the US-inspired large and extensive industrial farm, with the collective farm attempting to reconcile the two. But is it possible to go beyond mere the description of the planning objectives underlying the planning scheme for this or that Modernist Rural Landscape, and make an attempt to evaluate who actually benefited and benefits from one of these agricultural development schemes? *** To this aim, the discipline of “Comparative Agriculture” promises to offer answers. It builds upon the concept of “Agrarian System” established by the French School of Human Geography to describe and understand historical rural landscapes, but aims at reconciling this mainly descriptive approach with a more action oriented output, where the critical attitude towards the notion of “development” is central. *** This contribution, whose spirit is more experimental and programmatic than assertive and conclusive, aims at testing the potential of such approach against three case studies: the Fascist reclamation of the Pontine Marshes, the early Zionist agricultural colonisation of Palestine, the Francoist internal colonisation of Spain. In doing so, it will explore the possible outcomes in terms of setting up an agenda for acting within such Modernist Rural Landscapes, rather than only describing them, info:eu-repo/semantics/published

Rurality appears as an emerging frame of reference in European discourses around the built environment, upsetting the longstanding lack of interest for rural areas of both the design disciplines and their histories. While some modernist architecture has sought, throughout its development, to find inspiration in vernacular and rural architecture, as a presumed source of authenticity and rationality, it was in the cities that this movement identified its preferred field of operations. Similarly goes with the development of modernist urban planning and design, where the importation of countryside’s environmental and social qualities to the urban sphere was meant to reform and cure the ill-perceived large industrial cities. This session deals with an overlooked topic in architectural history – modernist design and planning in and for the countryside –, addressing the relation between experiments in designing the physical environment and rurality at large. Examining the works of prominent o r lesser-known modern ist heroes, as much as those of obscure engineers active at the European periphery, it unveils unnoticed episodes in architectural history, spanning across key moments the modern era, disciplinary approaches, and scales. In doing so, this session offers an outline of different modernist attitudes towards rurality. Among the transversal issues raised across the session, one finds: 1) Alternately progressive and reactionary ontologies of the rural and nature: from more romantic, individualistic and subjective attempts to reconcile humans and nature, to the invocation of the rural’s alleged moralising influence on individuals or collectivities; from escapist to merely functional uses of the countryside; 2) Uneven architectural boldness, oscillating between the imitation of the allegedly authentic vernacular,efforts to root emerging modernist styles in tradition, and the introduction of radically new architectural languages in the countryside, whether or not in connection with quests for national identity or even with totalitarian rhetorics; 3) An inclination towards the dissolution of architectural design in favor of growing concerns for village design, regional planning, landscape, and even social planning and engineering; 4) The autonomy or adherence of design stances to the underlying agrarian systems. The extremely diversified range of the discussed case studies, while suggesting an expansion of architectural history’s boundaries, sparks a potentially promising debate around the most appropriate conceptual frameworks and methodologies to approach the entanglements modernism and rurality. *** Speakers: 1° Espen Johnsen, University of Oslo: To Subordinate, Unite or Confront Architecture with Nature?

- Abstract
De quoi le geste photographique est plein dans le paysage ?Pour répondre à cette question, nous employons une méthode résolument transversale en revenant à l’étymologie pour déployer non pas une manière de faire mais d’aller vers. Dans cette lancée favorable à une pratique et une théoriedu paysage puis à l’articulation de ces deux versants, la recherche épistémologique permet de décrire les fondements de l’instauration des dualismes, ces césures aux fondements de la modernité européenne d’abord instaurés par la projection perspective (cette manière tout à fait singulière de se représenter – mais aussi de rapporter – le monde) et sur lesquelles le paysage européen repose ;tandis que la recherche photographique vient éprouver nos arguments et in fine, mettre en abîme les conceptions épistémologiques dont l’outil photographiques’est in niment fait le relais dans le paysage. Nous montrons notamment que l’image photographique consomme la rupture du fossé dualiste :elle le fait matériellement aboutir en images et en épuise symétriquement sa possibilité théorique. En Islande, sur un terrain qui donne – du moins de prime abord – toutes les garanties d’une « pure nature », nous photographions des sites où il n’est visiblement plus possible de séparer nettement le naturel de l’humain, avec l’ambition de faire poindre, à la fois dans et par l’image, ce qu’il convient de nommer la fermeture épistémologique qu’annonce l’Anthropocène, un tournant géohistorique éminemment photographique., Doctorat en Art et Sciences de l'Art, info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

- Abstract
As a major collaborative outcome of the “Local Capacity Building.” research project, the ECIP-lab, supported by the partner Belgian universities, developed a strategic masterplan and planning guidelines for the small town of Amdewerk, in close collaboration with citizens, local and regional authorities, and active NGO representatives in the area. Several on-site surveys and participatory planning workshops have been organized over a period of 5 years. The proposed masterplan draws on the metabolic analysis of the city’s resource flows, on the identification of major shared challenges, identifying a limited number of strategic actions which, alongside the official land use plan and regulations, are intended to foster a sustainable urban development of the city. The main proposals in fact heavily rely on the city’s landscape infrastructures to address major environmental and health-related challenges, which may significant enhance the inhabitants’ socio-economic condition and standards of living. As such, this proposal also entails some relevant principles of planning to address similar urban challenges and development issues in other small towns in Ethiopia and the Global South., info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished
