Presentation 

On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings and the Battle of Normandy, the symposium "Le Patrimoine de la Reconstruction : connaître, pérenniser et adapter, transmettre et valoriser" explores the impact of these events on the region and the vast reconstruction project that followed. Organised by the Normandy Region, the École nationale supérieure d'architecture de Normandie and the Maison de la Recherche en Sciences Humaines, this event will highlight the post-war architectural heritage and the contemporary challenges of its rehabilitation.

This presentation questions contemporary debates on heritage reconstruction after modern wars, with examples from Beirut, Belgrade and Sarajevo. She puts these questions into perspective with post-war French practices.
