Résumé

This article describes the constitution of a detailed inventory of the research documents produced from 2010 to 2019 within the teaching programme entitled “Studio Chiang Mai/Siem Reap – Angkor: Heritage, Tourism and Contemporaneity” of the École nationale supérieure d’architecture de Paris-Belleville (ENSAPB), in collaboration with Chiang Mai University and Chulalongkorn University (Thailand). It provides the context within which the research documents were produced, how they were arranged and described in three languages (French, English and Thai), and how they can be potentially used to develop knowledge on the ordinary neighbourhoods of the city and their heritage, the evolution and dynamics of the urban fabric, as well as the relationship between its materiality and the inherited spatial practices of the inhabitants. The objective of the archival work was to transform the “field notebook” into an archive available for scholars and practitioners who are interested in the city’s establishment and evolution. This inventory resulted from the cooperation between the documentalist, teachers-researchers in architecture of the ENSAPB, and the archivists in the framework of the Archival City programme. The archival standard ISAD(G) was adopted for working on an application Access to Memory (AtoM) which allowed inventorying and describing the data.

Keywords: Chiang Mai, Thailand, architecture, ordinary city, ordinary heritage
