DESCRIPTION:Stéphane Berthier\nSUPERONDA TALKS\nWHOLE WOOD\n\nThe SUPERON
 DA lecture series in autumn 2022 is organized with the laboratory IBOIS. I
 t will focus on our constructive choices\, mostly dictated by the dynamics
  of supply and demand of raw materials\, as well as by the resulting inter
 national trade flows. This critical analysis of innovation will allow us t
 o discuss the evolution of mentalities that aspire to give a new impulse w
 ithin the wood construction\, privileging the local circular economy.\n\nS
 UPERONDA TALK N°3\nSTÉPHANE BERTHIER\n\nStéphane Berthier will discuss
  the historical aspect of the change taking place in the wood industry and
  its potential to change building models. One of the topics will be how a 
 previous wave of innovation in France that took place between the 1970s an
 d 1980s ended\, notably within a working group composed of the architects 
 Gimonet\, Lajus\, Schweitzer and Watel. This renaissance of wood architect
 ure rehabilitated the material within the scholarly architecture\, after h
 aving been long neglected in favor of flagship materials of modernity such
  as steel or reinforced concrete. However\, this push has not had a signif
 icant impact on the market share of the wood industry in the construction 
 field\, despite the emphasis placed on the realization of industrial and m
 odular structures deemed economical. The question that now arises is wheth
 er contemporary environmental issues are likely to provide the additional 
 arguments that the industry lacked in the 1970s.\n\nThe lecture is also br
 oadcast live on Zoom.\nMeeting ID : 646 5060 5823
