Short biography

edit

Chupin graduated in 1985 from both the Nantes School of Architecture[8] (France) and the University of Portsmouth (Great Britain) where he worked under the direction of Professor Geoffrey Broadbent, a pioneer in design thinking.[9] After translating the French edition of Alberto Pérez-Gómez's seminal work, Architecture and the Crisis of Modern Science (1983), he emigrated to Canada in 1988 to study at McGill University.[10] He obtained a master's degree in architectural history and theory from McGill University (1990) and a Ph.D. from the Université de Montréal (1998) under the direction of Alain Findeli, a specialist in Bauhaus pedagogy.[11] In the 1990s, he taught at the design department of the Université du Québec à Montréal, then at the Écoles nationales supérieures d'architecture de Toulouse and Lyon in France. Since 2001, he has been a professor at the Université de Montréal. Chupin is a member of the Ordre des architectes du Québec (OAQ) and the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC).

Main contributions

edit

Chupin co-founded the Laboratoire d'étude de l'architecture potentielle (L.E.A.P.) in 2002 with Georges Adamczyk and Denis Bilodeau. The L.E.A.P. lab is an inter-university and interdisciplinary team that today brings together 12 researchers from the 4 Montreal universities.[12][13][14]

In 2003-2004, Chupin was Scholar-in-Residence at the Canadian Centre for Architecture where he produced a deep analysis of Città Analoga by Aldo Rossi. He subsequently compiled his epistemological research highlighting the role of analogical thinking in architectural theory and design thinking in Analogie et théorie en architecture (De la vie, de la ville et de la conception, même) published in 2010 and 2013 by Swiss publisher InFolio (Gollion).[15]

Chupin is the founding director and editor of the Canadian Competitions Catalogue / Catalogue des concours canadiens (CCC), the bilingual documentary database of architectural, landscape and urban design projects designed in by competition in Canada. An open access online public interest resource, this project library contains information and documents on over 220 competitions and 6000 projects. The CCC received specific financial support from the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) in 2012.[16][17]

Jean-Pierre Chupin has contributed to the establishment of doctoral programs in architecture in France's graduate schools in the early 2000s and at the Université de Montréal since 2008. He was invited to give a lecture on doctoral programs by Professor Jean-Louis Cohen at the Collège de France in 2015 (Dans l'océan doctoral, un compas théorique).[18][19][20]

In June 2022, Chupin received funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada to direct, from 2022 to 2027, a major research partnership on quality in the built environment. This innovative and participatory project brings together 14 universities, 70 researchers and 68 public and private organizations at the municipal, provincial and national levels.[21][22] Coordinated by the Canada Research Chair in Architecture, Competitions and Mediations of Excellence (CRC-ACME), the partnership “Quality in Canada’s Built Environment: Roadmaps to Equity, Social Value and Sustainability” addresses the diversity of public environments impacting the everyday life of millions of Canadians in urban spaces, buildings and landscapes. This project develops case studies and “roadmaps to quality” benefiting from Chupin’s new database on exemplarity and awards in Canada (AREA-BE).[22]
