Sila KaratasSıla Karataş (1987, Ankara) was graduated as architect and awarded Master’s degree with the thesis “Building Marshall Plan in Turkey: The Formation of Workers’ Housing Question, 1946-1962” at the Middle East Technical University. In her thesis, she analyzed the formation of postwar workers’ housing discourse concerning the policy, planning and architecture of workers’ housing cooperatives within the framework of the ideological and spatial programming of the Marshall Plan and Americanization in Turkey. This research received Honourable Mention in 'Young Social Scientists Awards' of the Turkish Social Sciences Association. She worked as assistant and lecturer in Turkey between 2012-2019; took part in architectural and urban design studios as tutor and reviewer, gave Case Studies in Social Housing and Community Planning among other courses. Since September 2019, she is a PhD student and doctoral assistant at EPFL. Her PhD research concerns postwar workers’ housing programs of the Mediterranean countries participated in the Marshall Plan (France, Italy, Greece, Turkey), and is a comparative analysis of local models in relation to the transnational activity by the United States and multilateral organizations on postwar development, labour affairs and housing. This research is awarded a Swiss Government Excellence Scholarship for PhD and being funded by the Swiss Federal Commission for Scholarships for Foreign Scholars and Artists (FCS).
Giulia MarinoGiulia Marino est architecte diplômée de l’Université de Florence (Master II, 2003) et Docteur ès sciences de l’Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (PhD, 2014, Prix thèse EPFL 2016) ; elle est également titulaire du Diplôme d’Etudes Approfondies mention Sauvegarde du patrimoine moderne et contemporain, obtenu à l’Institut d’Architecture de l’Université de Genève (DEA, 2006). Professeure à l'Université catholique de Louvain, LOCI-Bruxelles dès 2019, elle est également collaboratrice scientifique du laboratoire des Techniques et de la Sauvegarde de l’Architecture Moderne de l’ENAC-EPFL (TSAM) depuis sa fondation en 2007. Ses intérêts scientifiques se situent dans l’histoire des techniques de construction et des équipements du confort du XXe siècle, ainsi que dans les stratégies de sauvegarde et du patrimoine moderne et contemporain. Elle développe ces deux axes principaux dans ses recherches, tant en ce qui concerne le patrimoine monumental de l’entre-deux-guerres (ex. L’appartement-atelier de Le Corbusier au 24NC, mandat de la Fondation Le Corbusier, 2014, Grant Getty Foundation) que dans le corpus élargi de la production architecturale 1945-1975 (ex. Stratégies pour la cité du Lignon, 2009-2011 ; Europa Nostra Award 2013, Umisicht Award 2013). L’intérêt de ses thèmes de prédilection est témoigné par sa participation à des manifestations scientifiques internationales, tant en Europe (Paris, Lisbonne, Milan, Luxembourg, etc.), qu’à l’échelle internationale (Chandigarh, Mexico, Tokyo, Montréal, etc.) et ses nombreux articles et contributions (Werk, Arquitectura Viva, AMC, La Revue de l’art, etc.). Parmi se principales publications, citons la monographie consacrée à l’ensemble de la Caisse d’allocations familiales de Paris (Picard, 2009, 270 p.) et le livre sur la restauration de la cité du Lignon (Infolio, 2012, 160 p.) dont elle a assuré la conception et la coordination scientifique. Ses dernières publications d’envergure sont le volume Building Environment and Interiors Comfort in 20th-Century Architecture : Understanding Issues and Developing Conservation Strategies, co-dirigé avec Franz Graf (PPUR, 2016, 536 p.), le Cahier du TSAM n. 2, "Les multiples vies de l'appartement-atelier. Le Corbusier" (PPUR, 2017, 200 p.) et le livre "La buvette d'Évian. Novarina, Prouvé, Ketoff", (Infolio, 2018). Son dernier ouvrage "Avanchet-Parc: cité de conception nouvelle et originale" est paru en 2020 aux éditions Infolio. Elle prépare actuellement la publication de son travail de thèse à paraître aux Editions Métispresses. Elle est vice-président de DOCOMOMO Suisse depuis 2015.Elle est également membre de DOCOMOMO International, ICOMOS Switzerland, Schweizer Heimatschutz et de la Société suisse des ingénieurs et des architectes SIA, ainsi que de l’Association francophone d'histoire de la construction et de la Construction History Society.
Valentin Daniel Maurice BourdonValentin Bourdon est architecte Dr EPFL, chercheur postdoctorant et assistant d'enseignement. Il obtient son diplôme d'architecture en juillet 2013 à l’École d’Architecture de la Ville et des Territoires Paris-Est à Marne-la-Vallée sous la direction de Jacques Lucan, et son doctorat en septembre 2020 à l’EPFL sous la direction de Luca Ortelli.
