DESCRIPTION:Herzog & De Meuron (Basel)\nLatz + Partner (Munich)\nVoies nav
 igables de France\n3Land (Basel)\nIn Situ (Lyon)\nFlussbad Berlin\nUrban r
 iverbanks as an opportunity for architectural design\n\nEcole polytechniqu
 e fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL)\n19-21 October 2021\n\nToday\, the changi
 ng relations between cities and their rivers raise – after a certain exc
 lusion of waterways from urban areas – a series of questions on their re
 newal potentials. Indeed\, urban densification objectives may resonate wit
 h flood protection strategies\, which\, in turn\, opens up new investigati
 on fields for the future of urban riverbanks. In this perspective\, abando
 ned sites\, such as fluvial brownfields\, represent a significant potentia
 l for the creation of new\, sustainable neighborhoods.\n\nThe PhD seminar 
 “Neighborhoods in transition – Urban riverbanks as an opportunity for 
 architectural design” was conceived to explore these issues. Supported b
 y SwissUniversities and organized within the axis Integrated Design\, Arch
 itecture and Sustainability (IDEAS)\, the Doctoral Program Architecture an
 d Sciences of the City (EDAR) and the research project Rhodanie urbaine\, 
 developed by the Laboratory of Architecture and Sustainable Technologies (
 LAST)\, the course aims at supporting exchanges between PhD students in th
 e fields of architecture\, urban planning\, urban engineering\, urban geog
 raphy and sociology\, and interested in the topic “sustainable fluvial n
 eighborhoods”.\n\nThe PhD seminar’s program is structured according to
  four lines of research\, considered to be essential to the design of a su
 stainable fluvial neighborhood: MUTATIONS\, LANDSCAPES\, PROCESSES and USE
 S. One half-day session is dedicated to the exploration of each of the fou
 r themes. Each thematic session includes two conferences on pioneer sustai
 nable fluvial neighborhoods\, given by external lecturers (architect\, urb
 an planner or landscape architect)\, as well as a round table\, which aims
  at identifying the invariants and specificities of each case study while 
 stimulating interactions between PhD students and lecturers.
