Paul Bouet
Paul Bouet is lecturer at the École d’architecture de la ville et des territoires Paris-Est and postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for the history and theory of architecture (gta Institute) at ETH Zürich. He holds a master of architecture from the ENSA Paris-Belleville (2012), a master in history of science and technology from the EHESS (2017) and a PhD in architecture from the Université Gustave Eiffel (2022). At the École d’architecture de la ville et des territoires, he teaches the history of architecture, urbanism and the environment, while supervising bachelor’s and master’s research thesis. He also lectures at the ENSA Clermont-Ferrand.
His research investigates the cross histories of architecture and the environment in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. He studies how concerns over energy, climate, materials and the living have challenged architecture during the industrial age. He is particularly interested in the history of theories on the adaptation of buildings to the climate, research on material and energy savings, the circulation of technologies and knowledge in colonial and postcolonial contexts, and the aesthetics of environmental control devices. In his PhD dissertation, he traced the history of research into the use of solar energy in post-World War II architecture, in relation to decolonization and the emergence of environmentalism. In his current research, he is studying the French attempt to create air-conditioned buildings and cities in the Sahara desert to extract oil and natural gas during the Algerian war of independence.
He received fellowships from the French Ministry of Culture, the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) in Montreal, and ETH Zürich in Switzerland. His publications include articles in the journals Architecture Beyond Europe, e-flux, and chapters in the collective volumes Face à la puissance. Une histoire des énergies alternatives à l’âge industriel, Extinct: A Compendium of Obsolete Objects, Représenter. Objets, outils, processus. He was also managing editor of the journal for architectural history and theory Marnes, documents d’architecture from 2013 to 2020. Recently, his work was shown in the second Biennale d’architecture et de paysage de Versailles and in the tenth International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam (in collaboration with Nicolas Dorval-Bory), both in 2022.
