An interdisciplinary exchange to rethink ancient techniques in light of today’s challenges

The roundtable “Sharing the Earth: Ancient Knowledge and Contemporary Practices” marks the launch of the international and interdisciplinary network UnivEARTHal, the first university network dedicated to earthen construction. Its ambition is to bring together researchers, practitioners, artisans, and institutions to create a living laboratory and break down silos between approaches from architecture, archaeology, geography, anthropology, and heritage sciences.
Organized on March 9 and open to the public with the support of the SAPS label, the event will gather French and international specialists, including members of the EDUC Alliance. It will foster a dialogue between traditional building techniques, contemporary practices, and future perspectives to examine the role of earthen construction skills in ecological transitions and strengthen their recognition, transmission, and reinvention.
