On November 3 and 4, 2026, ENSAG-UGA will host thematic days on AI for architecture, as part of the Transitions Architecture Patrimoine (TAP) project. Additionally, an apprenticeship contract for the FabLab in the Alps is available, with applications due by October 20, 2026.
Several conferences are also scheduled: on October 8, 2026, Gilles Marty will speak on the theme 'The most beautiful square meters are those we don't build'. On October 12, 2026, Clément Gaillard will present 'The climatic potential'.
The school will also host a literary encounter on October 1, 2026, focusing on the book 'Architectures terrestres: Studiolada', with Mathias Rollot and Ivan Mazel. The thesis defense of Noa Schumacher is scheduled for October 2, 2026.
