Mariana Cyrino
PhD student École nationale des ponts et chausséesBio
Having graduated in architecture from ENSA Paris-la Villette, I have been working since 2023 on a PhD thesis in urban planning and architecture, co-supervised by Taoufik Souami (LATTS, EUP) and Jodelle Zetlaoui-Léger (LET-LAVUE, ENSA Paris-la Villette), thanks to a doctoral contract co-funded by the École des Ponts et Chaussées and the Centre Scientifique et Technique du Bâtiment.
My research focuses on the consideration of user needs in the energy-efficient refurbishment of social housing. I am specifically interested in the scope of user support activities (AMU), described as professional services “aimed at integrating users’ needs and aspirations and involving them in certain choices and decisions regarding the built environment” (definition by the AMU France Network).
