Mapping Architectural Criticism Third International Symposium: Architectural Criticism 20th and 21st Centuries, a Cartography (ANR-14-CE31-0019-01)
Université Rennes 2, Archives de la Critique d’art – Agence Nationale de la Recherche
Ce colloque international s’inscrit dans le Programme ANR Mapping Architectural Criticism (2015-2017), dont l’objectif est de développer un champ de recherche sur la critique architecturale des dernières décennies du XIXe siècle à aujourd’hui. Il débattra deux questions clé, relatives aux « géographies » de la critique d’architecture : ses frontières disciplinaires et ses territoires partagés, notamment avec la critique d’autres disciplines, depuis les dernières décennies du XIXe siècle.
Le colloque interroge les frontières et les terrains communs de la critique avec différents types d’écrits sur l’architecture : il vise à mettre en évidence les relations, les terrains communs et les outils conceptuels que la critique architecturale partage avec l’histoire de l’architecture, les théories, mais également avec des écrits émanant d’autres disciplines.
Le symposium met également en lumière les relations, les terrains et les outils conceptuels que la critique architecturale partage avec d’autres « genres » de critique, comme la critique d’art ou la critique littéraire.
