DESCRIPTION:Sophie Delhay\n10:30 – 11:15 – S. Delhay\nMaitre de Confé
 rence at ENSA-Versailles\, France\n\nHousing\, a Space of Freedom\n\nHow c
 an density become an opportunity for new communities?\nWhat ecology of hum
 an relations can emerge from this 'sharing'?\nHow can we go beyond convent
 ional housing models and typologies?\nHow to stimulate and use the potenti
 al of appropriation or imagination of the inhabitants?\nHow to make housin
 g a space of freedom for the inhabitants?\nFor us\, each housing project i
 s a new experience to deepen these questions and transform them into worki
 ng topics. The lecture will highlight some of the research done by the pra
 ctice of “Sophie Delhay Architecture” and focus on some of these quest
 ions and on some of the possible answers through some built examples.\n\n\
 nShort bio:\nSophie Delhay graduated as an architect from ENSAP-Lille (Fra
 nce) in 1999.\nIn 2004\, she co-founded the architectural company boskop\,
  essentially building experimental housings in Nantes.\nIn 2010 she create
 d her own office: sophie delhay architecte. The current team consists of 6
  people located in Paris and Marseille.\nShe is a senior teaching fellow s
 ince 2012 first at ENSA-Nantes and currently in ENSA-Versailles. She is le
 ading her own design studio and her courses focus on the issue of housing.
 \nCentred on the multiplicity of uses inside individual and collective hou
 sing\, her office practice has made the different modes of "living togethe
 r" a lever in each project rather than an unwelcome complexity. This initi
 al choice forms then a prerequisite from which the landscape\, the city an
 d the architecture can take shape. More than a simple target to be met at 
 the end\, the community of different and simultaneous uses becomes the ini
 tial condition for an ecology that is both social and environmental.\nIn 2
 019\, the office “Sophie Delhay Architecture” received the renowned Fr
 ench architecture prize the “Equerre d'argent” in the category of “H
 abitat”. Currently\, two of her latest projects are nominated for the Mi
 es van der Rohe 2022 award.
