Lecture at the Ecole des Ponts ParisTech
Prof. Emmanuel Rey of the Laboratory of Architecture and Sustainable Technologies (LAST) was invited to give a lecture within the framework of the Specialized Master "Real Estate, Building, Energy" organized by the Ecole des Ponts (ENPC) in partnership with the Scientific and Technical Centre for Building (CSTB). His conference dealt with conceptual and operational strategies for the integration of sustainability into the architectural and urban design.
The Specialized Master in "Real Estate, Building, Energy" aims at a global approach of construction, rehabilitation and management of buildings, which should facilitate the relationship between all the actors by providing a common culture, whether they be financial partners, building owners, urban designers, architects, builders, industrialists, managers or users. The ambition of this course is to help those involved in real estate and building processes to work together and to really achieve high energetic performances with controlled costs and good social acceptability.
The module "Real Estate, building, neighborhood and sustainable city" deals more specifically with a critical analysis of projects realized in an urban regeneration context and characterized by high operational constraints. The course underlines more particularly the complexity inherent to this type of approach, the notion of managing principles, the implication of role-players, the specificities of partnerships between private and public sectors, as well as different forms of negotiations.
