Professeur titulaire à l'École d'urbanisme et d'architecture de paysage, Université de Montréal Raphaël Fischler mène depuis 1994 une carrière qui allie la recherche, l’enseignement, la pratique professionnelle et l’administration. Il a été formé en architecture et en urbanisme à la Eindhoven University of Technology et au Massachusetts Institute of Technology et a mené des études doctorales en urbanisme et aménagement du territoire ainsi qu’en sciences sociales à UC Berkeley. Après un stage postdoctoral au Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, il devient professeur à l’École d’urbanisme à l’Université McGill, dont il fut le directeur pendant plus de six ans et le directeur des études supérieures pendant une quinzaine d’années. Il a également mené des projets de planification et de réflexion à la Faculté de génie et à l’université McGill. Il a occupé le poste de doyen de la Faculté de l’aménagement du 1er juin 2018 au 31 mai 2023. La recherche de Raphaël Fischler porte sur l’histoire, la théorie et la pédagogie de l’urbanisme, ainsi que sur les pratiques et politiques de l’urbanisme à Montréal. En histoire de l’urbanisme, Raphaël Fischler a développé une expertise sur le zonage, technique de régulation urbaine dont il a fait la généalogie avant le 20e siècle et l’analyse de son adoption au début de ce siècle. En théorie et pédagogie de l’urbanisme, il s’intéresse en particulier à la pratique réflexive et à l’acquisition d’aptitudes qui permettent au professionnel d’agir dans des situations uniques et complexes dans lesquelles règnent incertitude et conflits de valeurs. À ce titre, il accorde une grande importance à l’enseignement par projet.
