Under construction

"The life of an architect is to be on site, it is even being directly related to the workers, it is able to be yourself entrepreneur, that's true life of an architect.
Alas the business was still divided into two, between design and technology, and again between the two execution and design, and we have now a fantastic thing: those who conceive do not know those running. (...)
The death of architecture, is the project manager who delivers his plans executed by maneuvers, by people who no longer believe; It's finish.
The site is the way to make thinking everyone together, is the way to involve everyone in the building's value. "
Fernand Pouillon, My ambition Publishing Lintel, 2011

The Nantes School of Architecture is installed on an island where the city is accustomed to the presence of construction sites, its aesthetics, its attraction, its vitality.
Based on this observation, this conferences cycle offers architects and planners to talk about their projects under construction, the building process.
More broadly the proposal wants decide architects to speak about the draft process, moving, complex, fragile, constantly renewed, where knowledge and intuition are called.
Talk about a project starting with the construction site provides the opportunity to describe the realities of a job engages in a complex world, a job that requires a real involvement.
