This second issue of the journal CLARA Architecture/Recherche addresses two themes that are at the heart of recent architectural and social debates.

In a first thematic dossier, students and teachers from a workshop at the Faculty of Architecture La Cambre-Horta, assisted by researchers from the ULB, take us on a journey of discovery of the mosques of Brussels. Through field surveys, investigations and projects, they visit the architecture of Muslim places of worship, questioning the place of Islam in public space and the capacity of the urban and social fabric of Brussels to accommodate new uses.

A second dossier is devoted to the recent transfer of the teaching of architecture to the university. It questions the historical nature of the workshop's pedagogical system, the scientific nature of the architectural discipline, the challenges of its teaching and the status of the architect.
