# Event Details

- **Event Name**: SÉMINAIRE DE RECHERCHE | Une architecture de la flexibilité
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 06 Aug, 2026 at 06:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Face aux bouleversements économiques des années 1970, les architectes britanniques, qui travaillaient alors principalement au service de l’État providence, gagnèrent en autonomie. Durant les décennies d’après-guerre, la profession s’était détournée de la conception pour un public abstrait, soumise aux contraintes imposées par l’État, pour défendre l’éphémère, le remplaçable et la flexibilité. 

S’appuyant sur la Collection du CCA, Sonali Dhanpal montre comment ces idées ont été mises en œuvre dans des régions périphériques, en apparence éloignées des impératifs du capitalisme. Elle examine comment la conception axée sur la flexibilité a émergé au sein d’un ensemble d’idées proto-néolibérales plus larges relatives à la classe sociale, à la nation et à la famille, idées que défendait également le conservatisme social.

Cet événement est gratuit et ouvert au public, mais le nombre de places étant limité, l’inscription est obligatoire. L’entrée au musée est incluse dans l’inscription.

In response to the economic turbulence of the 1970s, British architects employed primarily by the welfare state became increasingly autonomous. In the postwar years, the profession shifted away from designing for an abstract public under state-imposed constraints toward advocating for impermanence, expendability, and flexibility. 

Drawing from the CCA Collection, Sonali Dhanpal shows how these ideas were applied in peripheral regions seemingly apart from capitalist needs. She examines how designing for flexibility emerged among broader, proto-neoliberal ideas about class, nation, and the family likewise held by social conservatives.

This event is free and open to the public, but space is limited, so registration is required. Admission to the museum is included with your registration.
