A fantastic kick-off for the National Architecture Days !
The fourth edition of the French National Architecture Days has officially begun. This year, the festivities will focus on the ties between innovation and traditional heritage.
French Minister of Culture Franck Riester will kick off the fourth edition of the National Architecture Days, which will be held from 18 to 20 October 2019. Over the weekend, a line-up of culture-rich events will show how this creative discipline is an everyday art that defines our environment, housing, transportation, museums, public and athletic facilities.
Architecture : a national passion
Preserve, showcase, create, imagine, and adapt are the watchwords for this year’s festivities, which aim to show how innovation and heritage are far from contradictory. This edition will focus on projects that build bridges between modern creations and our built heritage in order to showcase existing structures and establish a dialogue with the contributions of future generations.

Decoding the work of architects
Seventeen versions of the event’s poster (one for each region) will be created, and the French National Architects’ Society will organise outreach activities for the public. The publisher À Vivre has also partnered with the event. With help from the project owners, they will open the doors of the centres and apartments they designed to help us better understand the world of architecture.
