Take part in a workshop on the discovery of vernacular architectures at the Petit Salon de l'hôtel de ville.

Heruditatem is an association specialized in the transmission of architectural culture. Their job is to intervene on the ground, in order to create the conditions for a meeting between the field of architecture, urban planning and local populations or groups. The workshop «Vernacular architectures» in connection with the theme «Sustainable heritage», allows to experiment the heritage through themes related to the vast field of architecture. This is an opportunity to raise public awareness of the need for local construction, with the idea that the design of a building must be linked to the territory in which it is located.
