Les Rencontres de l'EDAR is the annual meeting of the Doctoral program in Architecture and Sciences of the City, aimed at gathering the entire EDAR community.
The 9th edition, organized in collaboration with the Institute of Architecture, is entitled Original Knowledge and focuses on the ways in which EDAR research meets the criterion of producing original scientific knowledge.
The primary function of scientific research within academic institution is to systematically increase current knowledge. Originality is an essential aptitude of the good scholar, who is able to identify new subjects of investigation, develop innovative forms of inquiry, interweave different disciplines, and disseminate her/his findings through wider channels. More schematically, originality can be based, on the one hand, on methodology (state of the art, nature of the data, survey tools, interdisciplinarity, etc.), and on the other hand on results and/or their operational horizon.
Originality will be addressed in the context of cumulative knowledge, of innovation, or of approaches that update old technical knowledge; moreover, according to EDAR disciplines, it will be framed within the relationship between design and research . The "possibility of originality" will be measured in light of the new challenges and potential of digitalisation. The socialisation of original knowledge will be questioned too.
The dialogue will be structured in the form of thematic sessions alternating with round tables. An external keynote speaker will give a lecture.
