Graduate in urban Geography

Passionate about urban studies, I completed a second master's degree at the Paris Urban School after conducting this research within the ANR High-Rise team. Focusing on urban regeneration in Parisian suburbs, I studied the role of women’s activities in gardens, industrial wastelands and environmental sites through the ethics of care. Working on local development at the town hall for one year in these suburbs was interesting to understand the relationship between suburban dwellers living in social high-rise buildings and care-full spatiality in relation to feelings, capabilities and political responsibility. I am now looking for a job in research offices, design firms or in the administration of cities with an ecological territorial project whose aim is to foster the civic participation in the ecological transition through territorialized projects involved in spatial justice.

The common thread of my research work has so far been the metropolization process, first considered from the angle of transport - urban planning interactions (thesis defended in 2005), then oriented towards issues of production, experience and regulation of the vertical city. With the ANR SKYLINE, associating researchers (geographers, architects, town planners and IT specialists) and practitioners (Historic England, CABE, Westminster Council, Mayor of London, Lyon urban planning agency), I understood the impact of towers on the large urban landscape / skyline, the latter considered as a socio-economic and cultural resource landscape for societies.

My current and future research, with French and foreign colleagues and practitioners, can be grouped into two structuring axes. The first is supported by two research programs: the Industrial Chair Habiter Ensemble la Ville de Demain (University of Lyon, Bouygues, Alliade Habitat, SACVEL, Métropole de Lyon) and the Franco-Brazilian ANR HIGH-RISE associating geographers, architects and town planners (Lyon 2, USP Sao Paulo). In these two programs, I work to live in the towers through its production, its performances and the lifestyles that unfold there in France and the United Kingdom. It is particularly a question of studying the practices in the residential towers of the private and social park, in connection with the technical and architectural conditions of the towers (appropriation, accommodation, subversion).

The second axis is based on the CANOPY research project, bringing together researchers and practitioners from different disciplines (geography, architecture, IT, town planning, law and sociology) which aims to assess the capacity, potential and uses of roofs , a constructed layer of the urban canopy.

All of this research allows me today to re-examine the production and reception of the city through the prism of verticality, a dimension neglected for too long. With an international and multidisciplinary colloquium (Exploring and thinking about the vertical city, 2015), several publications and communications and the PhD holders and candidates that I have (had) the pleasure of supervising, I am helping to structure the field of emerging research on the vertical dimension of urbanization. Instead of a research agenda constructed from domination or war planning theorized by (Weizman), I rather subscribe to the banality of the vertical city proposed by Andrew Harris and develop a relational approach that articulates with vertical architectural objects, social practices and political regulation.

My recent work focuses on the transformations of post-communist cities in Romania (Braşov) and on neighbourhoods undergoing urban renewal in France (Lyon). Through an immersive ethnographic approach, I analyse the production of familiarities and attachments of individuals with transformed urban spaces. For this, I focus on a diversity of dimensions of the environment and of the field of experience mobilized in the construction of attachments (environment affordances, memories, atmospheres, affects, objects, etc.), as well as on the mechanisms by which the knowledge of places, the spatio-temporal landmarks and memories are maintained and renewed in these changing contexts. In my research I come across various methodologies: participant observations and interviews, mental maps, “walking voices” recordings during urban tours, sound recordings or videos (taken by my interlocutors with a body-mounted action camera). I am interested in public and collaborative anthropology approaches.

Alexandre Chabardès is a former student who graduated from a master's degree in social and cultural anthropology from the University Lumière Lyon 2 in 2018. Following his diploma, he branched out from the world of research to go to teaching: a MEEF master's degree 2nd degree in philosophy (Métier de l’Enseignement, de l’Education et de la Formation) in hand in 2020, it is currently in preparation for the CAPES (Certificat d'Aptitude au Professorat de l'Enseignement du Second degré) in philosophy, in order to teach this subject in high school.

During his second year of master's degree, he joined the High-Rise Living research team as an anthropologist: this added to the geographic and architectural aspects of the team the more properly experiential aspect of the inhabitants of residential towers. In his master's thesis, which was done jointly with his participation in the High-Rise team, he studied the people’s practices of verticality in the Duchère in Lyon, specifically in the residential tower la Tour Panoramique built in the district.

His themes of research interest, which are reflected in this word, and which combine both anthropology and philosophy, are the particularity of human experience, from perception to human productions, in the feelings and representations that emanate from it. Thus, in its participation in High-Rise living, this is materialized by an attention to urbanity through the prism of the inhabitant experience: more particularly of the question of inhabiting it, of the practices of living, and therefore of the inhabiting in verticality.

Following his work experience in France and Vietnam post Bachelors in architectural firms specialized in high-rise housing, Pierre-Eloi has chosen to focus on this subject and its challenges at each scale. During his masters he concentrated on the specific context of Hanoi. In 2020, while developing his research thesis and architectural graduation project simultaneously, he intended to blend theory, aesthetic and the contemporary uses of verticalization in this young globalized metropolis. He had the aim to highlight the significance of a "glocal" approach while analyzing verticalization of the urban fabric in this asian emerging city. With eyes looking to the past and the future concurrently, he wishes to pursue research in the future by starting a PhD and take advantages of its results in his later professional practice.
