A significant act for design research
In June 2019, Pierre Paul Zalio, President of the ENS Paris-Saclay, and Anne Nouguier, Interim Director of ENSCI-Les Ateliers, sign the agreement that seals the birth of the new "Centre de Recherche en Design".
Base in Île-de-France, it is located in the heart of the Paris-Saclay University campus in a building created by Renzo Piano for ENS Paris-Saclay, and benefits from the historical workshops of ENSCI-Les Ateliers and their well-reputed expertise. This multi-site site offers the design researchers they host a favourable environment where training institutions, laboratories and industries of international influence converge. |
The research axes:
- Axis 1 - Laboratory design: construction of scientific knowledge and forms of invention.
- Axis 2 - Design of the devices: increased body, digital spaces and manufacturing of technical imaginaries.
- Axis 3 - Design and ecologies: natural and urban environments, production systems and norms transformation.
- Axis 4 - Design and politics: citizenship, collectives and institutions.
- Transversal axis - Critical studies and design epistemology
The two co-directors are:
- Anne Lefebvre (ENS Paris-Saclay)
- Armand Behar (ENSCI-Les Ateliers).
