Architectural and urban forms

Billets de blog

DCUN (31 août 2021)

Billets de blog

Not only urban forms produced by diffuse urbanization are rooted in rural pasts, but diffuse urbanization triggers processes of re-adaptation that shape original spatial configurations. We aim to identify the characteristics of these architectural and urban forms, and the ways in which they are adap...

Billets de blog

Digitalization fosters the emergence of new data, behaviours and services in the traditional areas of public policies: water, mobility, energy, waste, etc. To develop a prospective approach to the "smart diffuse city", we explore the positive and negative sides of the "digital revolution" from an in...

This mineral field was first shaped by agricultural practices and, since the 18th century, by the development of mines which partly erased the rural substrata.
