Nicolas Fiévé
Architectural historian - Medieval and premodern Japan
After studying architecture in France and Japan, and obtaining a doctorate in classical Japanese, Nicolas Fiévé was a researcher at the CNRS from 1993 to 2007, when he became professor at the Historical and Philological Sciences Section of the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes, where he teaches the history of Japanese architecture and gardens.
His research is based on the study of ancient documents (literary and administrative texts, technical manuals, plans and maps) relating to architecture, urbanism, landscape and gardens in 14th-17th century Japan. In addition to the study of texts, Nicolas Fiévé also conducts in situ studies of ancient buildings or urban districts in Japan. These two complementary approaches are the fruit of the two schools of thought that trained him: Japanese studies and architecture.
As a medievalist working on the Muromachi period (1336-1573), Nicolas Fiévé has studied the history of the city of Kyoto, the architecture of the tea pavilions and the Ashikaga palaces. Recently, he has broadened his field of study to include 17th-century Japan and has focused his research on the secondary villas of the court nobility and the domain lords.

This conference, which is part of the same framework as the previous meetings held in Cambridge and Paris, is designed as a workshop focusing on the presentation of the archives of the period from the end of the Ming period to the republican period, i.e. from the end of the 16th century to 1949.
