History
The École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Paris-Belleville was founded by a dissident group of students from the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts, l'atelier collégial 1, led by Bernard Huet, in 1965. In 1969 it was officially recognised under the name UP8 (unité pédagogique d'architecture n°8, architectural teaching unit no. 8), and it has since occupied various repurposed quarters, including in Les Halles until their demolition and in a former Meccano factory in the Belleville section of Paris; in 2009 it moved into purposely designed space, a conversion and partial rebuilding of the former site of the Lycée technique Diderot, again in Belleville. In 1986 it was renamed to the École d'architecture de Paris-Belleville and UP7 and UP5 were merged into it. It took its current name in 2005.
Research
The research arm of the school is the Institut Parisien de Recherche: Architecture, Urbanistique, Société (IPRAUS), which emphasises interdisciplinary approaches.
