Abstract

The engineer Jean Englebert (1928 - ) talks in December 2015 with two female architecture students. He recalls his family background and the blossoming of his professional vocation and academic career, the windows on the world offered by magazines such as Architecture d'Aujourd'hui, Domus, Architectural Review, the 'overflow' of history in his education, his collaboration with René Greisch, his participation in the development of the Sart-Tilman campus, his role in the fight to save the Place Saint-Lambert in Liège, the conflicts and corporatist convergences between engineers and architects, the creation of the CRAU (Centre de recherche d'architecture et d'urbanisme), and his interest in Japanese culture and society This exchange becomes an opportunity for Jean Englebert to clarify his attitude towards prefabrication and the industrialisation of the construction sector. Finally, the authors also give us an original reading of the engineer's personal house.

Author Biographies

Rim Cividino

Rim Cividino (Saint Jean de Braye, France, 1994)
Rim Cividino studied at the École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Nantes, focusing her projects on scenographic issues. In 2016, she spent an Erasmus year in Brussels at the Faculty of Architecture La Cambre Horta (ULB). After graduating from the Nantes School of Architecture, she returned to Brussels to work on various artistic projects that combine her contemporary dance practice with her architectural know-how and stage design skills.

Cécilia Lopez

Cecilia Lopez (Paris, France, 1992)
Cecilia Lopez-Ackermann is a young architect who graduated from ENSAPLV in 2018. She is also a member of a publishing collective Repro du Léman since 2015. During her studies, she developed a project practice nourished by the international workshops she participated in. She travelled to Peru in April 2017 for a sociological study and to Ulaanbataar in September 2017 for a site analysis for her final year project. She intends to define her practice as conscious of the political and social issues inherent in the architectural profession. In January 2017, she submitted a research paper (La Banlieue Bleue, under the direction of Pierre Chabard), an investigation into neo-traditionalist networks in the Parisian agglomeration.
