Seminar ‘Maintaining. Architecture and maintenance, what we care about’
Attachments and heritage: figures from the ACMH
When it comes to heritage, in France the “chief architect” is like a caretaker at the bedside of a living, changing, aging structure.
What determines value? Who will maintain it? Confronted with the obsolescence of materials and the accumulation of layers of time, conservation must contend with the living. Maintaining heritage invites us to compose with the intertwining of our fragilities.
Between care and attachment, the next session of the Maintaining. Architecture and maintenance, what we care about seminar will explore the links between architecture and maintenance through the practice of two heritage architects, Charlotte Langlois, heritage architect and co-managing partner of the Point 05 agency, and Pierre Dufour, chief architect of historic monuments and co-managing partner of the Antoine Dufour Architectes agency.
Date: Friday, October 10 2025, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
