Présentation

Émilie d’Orgeix is an architectural historian with an emphasis on the history of construction and techniques She is professor and, since 2021, Vice-President for Research (VPR) at the École Pratique des Hautes Études-PSL University where she holds a transperiodic chair in Cultural History of Techniques (15th-20th centuries). Her work examines cultural and technical transfers between military and civil architecture and urban planning in Europe and the French colonies through the close examination of training contexts, graphic productions, material practices and construction processes. Her latest publications include a book on the development of architectural and urban cartographic atlases in France in the Early Modern period (co-written with Isabelle Warmoes. Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, 2017, 400 pages) and an essay of Early Modern urban margins exploring the development of military servitudes and civil appropriations in French fortified cities (Brussels, Mardaga, 2019, 304 pages). Her ongoing book project addresses the notion of demolition envisioned as a constructive process (16th-19th centuries).
