“This exhibition was designed by the C.A.U.E. de la Sarthe as part of the second edition of its “Petites machines à habiter” festival devoted to small-scale architecture. It is the result of an architectural design competition open to students, architects and designers. It’s a stylistic exercise in imagining the extension or elevation of a town house, reconciling a heritage element with a contemporary-style ‘graft’. Stimulating creativity, enriching architecture, renewing the city and the old town centre, reusing and adapting to new lifestyles and ways of living – these are the objectives of the projects presented in this exhibition…”

“Echoing the theme Bifurcations of the XIIth Saint-Étienne International Design Biennial, the Site Le Corbusier is offering an exhibition in the lower parts of Saint-Pierre Church, scenographed by Döppel Studio and entitled Le Champ des possibles, micro-architectures à expérimenter.

An experiential approach to minimal housing and living together based around Le Corbusier’s Cabanon and its reinterpretation; an invitation to discover a “utopian architecture” occupying the cereal-growing land at the end of the summer”.

Throughout the day, a mediator will be on hand to give presentations on the exhibition.

A festive weekend to meet and have fun with Didier Cornille, designer and author-illustrator who loves playing with architecture!As part of the Architectures en boite exhibition-workshop, a new event is being organised for children and families. The programme for this carte blanche event includes a workshop and a chat with Didier Cornille, where you can discover new construction games in an offbeat and sensitive way.Using strips of coloured paper, the artist invites you to create elementary and expressive volumes. Bent, corrugated, assembled and glued, the paper becomes architecture. Over the course of the weekend, some will build, while others will draw, colour and decorate to create a small settlement that will grow into a large one.

Set off on a (re)discovery of the first district of the seaside resort and let yourself be charmed by its exceptional villas. This tour guides you through the tree-lined district, back to the Belle Époque and its eclectic architecture. La Paludière, La Saint-Charles, Villa Symbole and Majolica are just some of the evocative names you’ll come across on your tour.

Designed by architect Henri Sauvage and built around 1901-1902 for artist Louis Majorelle, this listed building is an emblematic example of Nancy’s Art Nouveau style.The first entirely Art Nouveau house in Nancy, it bears witness to a perfect collaboration between Parisian and Nancy artists. Alongside Henri Sauvage, we find the names of Jacques Gruber for the stained glass, Alexandre Bigot for the stoneware, Francis Jourdain and Henri Royer for the paintings, not forgetting Louis Majorelle himself for the ironwork, woodwork and furniture, and Lucien Weissenburger for the execution and supervision of the building work.

“Designed in 1975 by architects Georges Pencréac’h and Michel Gaillard, this housing estate boasts remarkable architecture. It comprises 7 grouped houses overlooking the village of Cergy towards the river Oise. Following the slope of the land, the houses are built on a principle of half-levels which, combined with the flat roofs, allows each room in the house to open up to the sun and the garden”.

Visit the Cousinerie district, where urban planning, architecture and nature have been designed in harmony.A look back at the history of this district which, at the birth of the new town, was an experimental area where urban planning, architecture and nature were designed to help people live together.
