Les structures d’accueil de la petite enfance à Alger - Qualité des ambiances et du confort -
(Epau, 2018) CHABANE, Yasmina; BOUSSOUALIM, Aicha [Encadreur]
Our research focuses on the influence of space and architectural environments quality, on the well-being and the child's development, which was worrying during long years the researchers in various fields, such as health, psychology, education.... etc. Despite all these efforts, the subject is far from being comprehensively understood, knowing that early childhood is a very sensitive and vulnerable period, during which the child is completely dependent, of adults and of his environment. At the national level, this theme has rarely been discussed, particularly from the point of view of architectural quality. with the change of the social and professional status of the Algerian family in particular that of women, the guard of the child becomes a necessity and not a choice, which generates an imbalance between supply and demand. The standard level of expectation of the parents obviously changed and their criteria of choice are summarized into two or three elements: The cost initially, then the level of education, and the leisure. Through our investigation, we have seen the ignorance of the architectural quality and environments role for the child development, by the parents and the reception facility’s staffs. Aspects that are also often overlooked by designers, regulatory texts, and technical requirements. They treat them only in summary way (surfaces, openings, heating…. etc.). Our objective through this research is to attract the attention and to orient the designers and the decision-makers towards childcare, giving more importance to the architectural ambiance quality, to the specificities and the needs of children, staff, and the local context (social, economic, climate ... etc.). The revision of the regulation ordering the realization and the functioning of the childcare facilities proves essential to the architectural ambiance quality, the specificities and the needs of the children, the staff and the local context (social, economic, climatic ... etc.).

« Le Schéma Directeur de collecte et de Traitement des déchets solides Urbains dans l’agglomération Algéroise, entre Limites & Perspectives,
(Epau, 2017) CHENAK ,Hakima; KEHILA,Youcef Encadreur]
The environment suffers from multiple degradations because of urban pollution activities that generate solid waste within agglomerations. In Algeria, despite the efforts made to manage municipal waste, it is not efficient enough. In effect, the planning of waste management is essential. The rapid urban and demographic growth affecting our cities influences the consumption patterns, which creates needs to be gradually taken over. Therefore, the waste management master plan was developed to quantify the treatment infrastructure needs and means of collection and transport to the treatment sites. This scheme gives guidance on the recycling and promotion of waste and organic matter, as well as the development of recycling activities for plastic packaging, paper and cardboard. Implementation of this scheme at the local level remains the responsibility of all stakeholders in the process. Effective waste management will provide future solutions to ensure the transition to the green economy. All actors, including citizens, represent the driving force of the effective management process for the sustainable cities governance. This research work contributes through an analytical, qualitative and comparative approach to the different implementations of waste management planning by integrating the elements of sustainability. The municipality of Eucalyptus was chosen as a case study, given its experience in waste management through its commitment to finding adequate technical solutions despite the amount of waste generated by its growing population and commercial activities. We conducted a field survey to identify the actors involved and their role in the municipal waste management process. For this purpose, we went methodologically by the following investment tools: A questionnaire that we have drawn up and sent to a selected number of citizens on the basis of chosen criteria, as well as interviews with the various local stakeholders responsible for waste management at all levels.

Essai d'application semiotique sur le décor architectural musulman en Algérie
(Epau, 2014) CHIALI, Moustafa; KASSAB Tsouria [encadreur]
Decorative architectural elements of an architectural work are intrinsic values and represent the identity of a monument. But this "identity" is threatened by the current crisis of architectural production with either the improper reuse due mainly to ignorance of history in general and the history of art in particular from the profane or even worse by the architects. This leads to a deeper conclusion problem of Muslim architecture in general and Muslims decorative style in particular and as it is difficult to define precisely, especially scientifically, unlike the classical European architectural styles. But these improper practices affect strongly the urban landscape and sustainability decorative architectural heritage. This shows the importance of the decorative architectural expression of the various Muslim dynasties or civilizations in Algeria and must be therefore considered as a heritage to be preserved and transmitted on. The enhancement of this heritage is first and foremost knowledge of this heritage. Although many works have been done on the topic of Islamic architectural aesthetics in Algeria, it was mainly to document and identify architectural elements; there are few studies that have attempted to give meaning to the mode of use of such items as decorative architectural language. However, research on understanding and decoding of decorative architectural expressions is essential if we are to truly transmit all the values of our heritage and also to allow reuse any respect. The conservation of these decorative expressions for reinterpretation is conditioned first by their understanding of accurately and complete if we truly wants to transmit this heritage. Capitalization and a reading of various sources are then necessary. If we consider the architectural decoration as a language, the use of semiotic methodology may be essential for reading. Indeed this discipline outcome of field of linguistics has been transposed to architecture and art from the late sixties. His contributions were very important in the study of production processes and for understanding architectural styles and thus provide the necessary tools for the critical examination of symbols and information. And an architectural language to understand, it will decompose and segment its various components in order to establish a theoretical meaning. To test the study semiotics, it would be interesting to take for example a major monument of Muslim history in Algeria and the Great Mosque of Tlemcen is probably an ideal case study because the monument is noted for its rich ornamentation on distinguished by the other two great mosques of Algiers and Nedroma built under the same kingdom of Almoravides. Indeed, the mosque has had many contributions and developments over the centuries including the Almoravids and Abdalwadides. Each of these dynasties had its own program and architectural ornament of the time and it would be interesting to see, by studying semiotics, stratification of these different languages

La reconnaissance et sauvegarde du patrimoine historique dans la ville contemporaine
(Epau, 2014) SELAMI-MECHOUCHE,Souad; MAZOUZ,Saïd [Encadreur]
L’expression “Patrimoine historique”, d’après Françoise CHOAY“ désigne un fonds destiné à la jouissance d’une communauté élargie aux dimensions planétaires et constitué par l’accumulation continue d’une diversité d’objets que rassemble leur commune appartenance au passé: oeuvres et chefs-d’oeuvre des beaux arts et des arts appliqués, travaux et produits de tous les savoirs et savoirfaire des humains”(2) Parmi le fonds immense et hétérogène du patrimoine historique, le présent travail aura pour objet d’étude: le patrimoine historique bâti. L’architecture qui est une articulation formelle demeure, pour l’homme, l’outil le plus important de conservation des significations (2). Le but de tout être humain est d’assurer, de garantir une assise existentielle. Pour garantir cette assise, l’homme a besoin de comprendre l’univers, le monde vaste et complexe où il vit. L’homme, par ses facultés mentales, peut comprendre, interpréter et même trouver des relations entre les lois Gestalt (3) qui régissent son univers, ce sont les significations. Une fois ces significations sont acquises, l’homme va chercher à les conserver pour pouvoir les réutiliser. Pour cela, il utilise des symboles, des outils tels que des gestes, des oeuvres d’art, des constructions,…etc. Malgré que cet éventail d’outils de conservation est large et varié, l’architecture demeure la concrétisation palpable de ces significations. C’est ainsi que le monde devient cette demeure significative dans laquelle l’homme peut habiter. “ De tous les actes, le plus complet est celui de construire” (Paul Valéry). la recherche de l’assise existentielle ne peut être un travail propre à chaque individu. L’homme de par sa sociabilité, va utiliser les significations que les groupes d’hommes avaient déjà, au préalable, acquises. Il va penser donc à développer celles-ci et aussi à développer d’autres. Finalement, elles vont des plus simples (primaires) aux plus complexes (avancées), au fil du temps. L’homme acquière des significations au cours de sa propre vie et aussi au cours de l’histoire de l’humanité.
