Festival Patrimoine Architectural V Lyon at PULLMAN LYON SPACES LYON PART DIEU

At PULLMAN LYON SPACES LYON PART DIEU, we are delighted to welcome Festival Patrimoine Architectural V Lyon, an edition dedicated to the living legacy of buildings, streets, and public spaces. From our vantage point inside the Part-Dieu district—one of Lyon’s most dynamic hubs of mobility, commerce, and contemporary design—we are preparing rooms, screens, and flexible stages to immerse audiences in a program where heritage converses with the city of tomorrow. The festival’s curatorial approach, focused on the dialogue between preservation and innovation, resonates powerfully here: our spaces will host talks, projections, and installations that invite professionals, students, and urban enthusiasts to reimagine what architectural patrimony means in a fast-changing world. Expect a thoughtful curation that ranges from intimate archival stories to forward-looking demonstrations of materials and techniques, each framed by an environment designed for clarity, comfort, and lively exchange. Our team is shaping each area to encourage encounters—between ideas, disciplines, and generations—because we believe that the best architecture festivals are built as much on conversations as they are on spectacle.

This new chapter of Festival Patrimoine Architectural V Lyon arrives at a fertile moment for the arts of building. Across the cultural landscape, architecture is engaging pressing questions—how to adapt and retrofit, how to lower carbon footprints while preserving character, how to make districts more walkable, welcoming, and resilient. The festival embraces these themes with a program that regards heritage not as a static relic but as a living resource. Attendees can look forward to keynote reflections on the craft of reuse; roundtables examining the future of urban centers and their historic cores; and visual essays that cast fresh light on Lyon’s own layers, from industrial vestiges to contemporary landmarks. We anticipate hands-on demonstrations that illustrate material intelligence—stone, wood, earth, and hybrid systems—alongside case studies of courtyards, passages, façades, and rooftops that have been reinterpreted for today’s social and environmental needs. In our view as a host, the strength of this festival lies in how it transforms technical expertise into shared cultural experience, allowing citizens and experts alike to grasp the poetics and pragmatics of change.
