AAU CRESSON (UGA)
Center de recherche sur l’espace sonore et l’environnement urbain – Ambiances Architectures Urbanités
Cresson’s research is based on original multidisciplinary methods, at the crossroads of spatial sciences (architecture, urban planning), human and social sciences, and engineering sciences. After initial work on sound, Cresson is now investigating the dimensions of in situ experience and questioning the social, ecological, aesthetic, digital, political and ethical stakes of ambiences and sensibility in relation to territories and living environments in transformation, in France and internationally, with a particular attachment to its home territory, Grenoble.
