In the context of the MPP4 and their contribution to CTB, students from different disciplines along with architects and engineers from the INSA ENSAPL were invited to participate in a practical workshop led by Dométhilde Majek. The idea was to give students the tools to deconstruct their perception of disciplines outside their own and to get to know other students. The goal is to allow for horizontal collaboration and the transmission of ongoing projects for the following year.
Through different propositions and adequate tools, each participant was able to measure the necessity of opening oneself to others and working serenely together, interdisciplinarily.
After an initial projection, students assembled based on “groups of disciples” presented their vision for Lambersart 2050. They answered questions like: What evolutions for the way of life? What changes in use? In the name of what values? What aspirations? The group presentations allowed for different and complementary concepts of the desired transformation to emerge.
In a second phase, interviews between architects and engineers facilitated the encounter and understanding of the other’s culture, vocabulary and perspectives.
Finally, the students were able to articulate their findings: What were the strengths and weaknesses? How do they perceive their roles, as project manager or technical expert? How do they wish to share their work and structure collaboration? What do they need from and what can they offer to others? How do they perceive their organisation and its way of working together?
At the conclusion of the workshop, each participant recognised that the meeting constituted the foundation of a healthy and promising interdisciplinary collaboration!
