Maintaining. Architecture and maintenance, what we care about
The architectural agency SCAU and Jérôme Denis organize a new seminar entitled ‘Maintaining. Architecture and maintenance, what we care about’.

The seminar is organized by Clément Marquet (CSI, Mines Paris / PSL, i3) and Sophie Quinton (Inria, GDS EcoInfo), as part of the Politiques environnementales du numérique [Digital Environmental Policies] working group of the GDR Internet, AI and Society.
For the past few years, the environmental consequences of digital technologies have been the subject of increasing attention, calling into question the promise of a convergence between ecological and digital transition.
