Vincent Hannotin, Architect DPLG, General Manager and Design Director of Architecturestudio Shanghai, will present a selection of the agency’s recent projects focused on the renovation and transformation of architectural heritage. In this lecture, he will explore how to intelligently reuse existing buildings to meet contemporary challenges. A flagship example is the recently completed rehabilitation of the ESSEC Business School campus in Cergy-Pontoise (France). This exemplary project transforms 1960s–1970s architecture into a modern, ecological and low-carbon campus while preserving its historical identity. The presentation is closely linked to Architecturestudio’s “Tracé Bleu” (Blue Trace) approach — a systemic vision that advocates for resilient, resource-conscious and regenerative urban and architectural interventions in the face of climate urgency.
