A living conversation about heritage, design, and the city

Festival Patrimoine Architectural V arrives with a timely invitation: to reexamine how we read, preserve, and transform the places we inhabit. From our perspective as host venue, we see how the festival’s curatorial approach encourages exchanges between practitioners and the public, creating a laboratory where archival memory meets contemporary practice. While the content is rooted in Lyon’s distinctive urban identity, the questions raised—about adaptive reuse, ecological responsibility, material culture, and the social life of buildings—are unavoidably global. Our spaces at PULLMAN LYON SPACES LYON PART DIEU are prepared for a rhythm of keynote conversations, moderated discussions, and informal dialogues in which diverse voices can be heard. The festival’s momentum is palpable in the corridors between sessions, where encounters often spark future collaborations. We are attentive to the subtle needs of such conversations: lighting that flatters models and plans, projection that renders textures faithfully, and seating layouts that invite both concentration and exchange. By anchoring the event within our venue’s connected, central location, we further a citywide conversation that extends beyond any single room, out into the streets and neighborhoods that architecture ultimately serves.

In terms of artistic news, Festival Patrimoine Architectural V continues to track the evolving practices that are reshaping the built environment: craft’s renewed importance, the resurgence of vernacular intelligence in design, low-carbon material experimentation, and the role of storytelling in protecting and transmitting heritage. The program centers on creative methodologies rather than spectacle, putting care, maintenance, and community at the heart of architectural discourse. For us at PULLMAN LYON SPACES LYON PART DIEU, that ethos resonates with how we conceive hospitality: as a choreography of attention that reveals the best conditions for people and ideas to meet. We are proud to provide a platform where emerging voices stand alongside established figures, where research can be shared in accessible language, and where the lived experiences of residents and users matter as much as technical mastery. With the festival’s sessions unfolding across our adaptable rooms, visitors can expect a continuity of experience—clear signage, considerate acoustics, and an atmosphere conducive to curiosity. Above all, we see Festival Patrimoine Architectural V as a catalyst, reminding us that heritage is not a fixed list but an ongoing civic choice. Hosting it at PULLMAN LYON SPACES LYON PART DIEU is our way of investing in that choice, making space for a future that honors memory while embracing invention.
