From October 15 to 18, France will host the eleventh edition of the National Days of Architecture, an event celebrating architects and their impact on cities and everyday life. This annual event comes after the European Heritage Days and features a wide range of activities, including open house days at architecture offices, meetings, site visits, conferences, workshops, exhibitions, and even activities for children. More than 1,200 events will be listed online through an interactive map, allowing participants to explore events across the country. The theme of this year's event, "Rehabilitate: Build the Future," highlights the importance of reusing existing structures, incorporating recycled materials, and repurposing buildings. Delphine Christophe, director general of heritage and architecture at the Ministry of Culture, stressed that urban renewal, maintenance, rehabilitation, and restoration are all vital aspects of architectural practice. The focus on sustainability and preservation reflects broader global conversations about the environmental and social impact of architecture. Across France, events will take place in various locations, with Île-de-France being a key hub. Guided outdoor visits will allow participants to explore buildings designed by architects who have won the prestigious Pritzker Prize, often referred to as the "Nobel Prize of architecture." In Paris, a conference will discuss the renovation of Le Corbusier's Villa Savoye, a modernist landmark, at the Paris-La Villette School of Architecture. A family-friendly activity titled "P'tits architectes du roi" will also be held at the Musée des Plans-Reliefs, offering children a chance to engage with architectural history in a fun and interactive way. In Marseille, the Maison de l'Architecture et de la Ville will host a photography exhibition titled Contemporary Architecture Worth Noting, a Century of Architecture in France, showcasing the evolution of architectural styles and practices over the past 100 years. Meanwhile, in Bordeaux, visitors can explore the Jewish Pool Jean-Boiteux, a historic building that combines Art Deco and modernist elements, reflecting the city's rich architectural heritage. These events collectively offer a diverse and engaging look at the past, present, and future of architecture in France.
