Concept

Legal doctrine

A legal doctrine is a framework, set of rules, procedural steps, or test, often established through precedent in the common law, through which judgments can be determined in a given legal case. A doctrine comes about when a judge makes a ruling where a process is outlined and applied, and allows for it to be equally applied to like cases. When enough judges make use of the process, it may become established as the de facto method of deciding like situations.

Depuis 1921, le Palais de Beaulieu et ses halles accueillaient les manifestations cantonales, vitrines des savoir-faire et du pouvoir politique locaux. En 2019, constatant la baisse de fréquentation régulière de ces événements, la Ville de Lausanne a choisi de les annuler. Cette décision interroge à la fois la réalité des besoins imprévisibles de l’événementiel et celle des traces et des ressources du cadre bâti. Les halles Nord de Beaulieu, investies par le projet, deviennent le cas d’étude d’une scénograp
