The first chapter begins with the conference of one of the pioneers of what is called bioclimatism. André De Herde delivered the general introduction to the three days of EnsaÉco meetings. The author structures his remarks into three main blocks. The first one presents the “bioclimatic”, “sustainable” and “smart” concepts proposed by architecture schools to remedy the energy crisis of the 1970s. The second one recalls the reasons for the creation of the “Architecture and Climate” research team in 1980. He concludes his contribution with a state-of-the-art of the teachings of architectural engineers at the University of Louvain-La-Neuve.

De Herde’s conference is followed by the testimonies of three teacher-researchers, Anne Coste, Frédéric Dellinger and Théodore Guuinic, who illustrate the engagement of the field of history as an independent discipline and as a privileged dimension of other educational fields for acknowledging the constraints related to climate change. The authors of this work discuss the way in which climate change considerations have shaped the teaching of the history of architecture, town planning and landscape. They also show how the historical dimension makes it possible to put the climatic questions addressed by other disciplines taught at the ENSA(P) into perspective.
