The École nationale supérieure d'architecture de Nantes/Nantes Université, the Agence d'urbanisme de la région nantaise, the company SCE-Keran and the Institut d'études avancées de Nantes are pleased to announce the launch of the Chair in Housing in the light of planetary limits.
A chair to rethink territorial, urban and architectural approaches in the light of major transitions
Given the complexity of the ecological challenges facing cities and regions, the four partners of the chair have decided to create a research chair at the Institut d'études avancées de Nantes. This partnership chair will run for three years, from 2024 to 2027, with three successive 9-month residencies for one researcher (2024-2025; 2025-2026; 2026-2027).
By bringing together a higher education establishment, a research and artistic residency structure, a company and an urban planning agency, the partners are seeking to share their points of view on visions of the future and the levers of transformation to be explored on the theme of forms and ways of living.
A first residency to think and activate the ecological redirection of territories with the reception of Diego Landivar, economist and anthropologist.
Diego Landivar is a French-Bolivian economist and anthropologist. His research focuses on the anthropological reconfigurations induced by climate change and ecological collapses. He has been a lecturer and researcher at the ESC Clermont Group since 2011, where he leads various programs related to the Anthropocene and sustainability. He co-founded the research team Origens in Clermont-Ferrand. His initial investigations focused on constituent assemblies in Latin America, the rights of nature entities, and political animism. His current work addresses an ecology of the Technosphere, paying close attention to infrastructures, modern techniques, and organizations and their ecological vulnerabilities.
