Its 10th edition, organized in collaboration with the Institute of Architecture, will be entitled <em>Autonomy and Abstraction </em>and will deal two fundamental dimensions of scholarly inquiry. The two days event, open to the public, will be structured in the form of thematic sessions alternating with keynotes and round tables.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<em>Abstraction</em> will be approached in its classical philosophical meaning, consistent with the view that understanding requires the mind to grasp the universal apart from the particulars in which it is embodied. In this sense, abstraction is the mental operation through which the essential structure of a subject is drawn out from its contingent features, allowing researchers to discern the general principles that render their object intelligible. This conceptual withdrawal does not negate the concrete but clarifies what endures beyond the variability of specific instances.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<em>Autonomy</em> will be presented as a distinct yet complementary notion: the capacity of a discipline to reflect upon itself through its own internal laws and modes of reasoning. It entails a temporary suspension of external frameworks so that the discipline may be understood from within, according to the coherence of its concepts and the logic that shapes its questions. While abstraction deals with the apprehension of universal principles, autonomy has to do with the conditions under which these principles operate within a disciplinary horizon.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nOnce defined as separate notions, abstraction and autonomy will be brought into constructive relation, for both require a measured intellectual distance that enables the essential to be articulated. In this context, participants will be invited to suspend, for a moment, the temporal and spatial dimensions that ordinarily situate their work, in order to concentrate on the internal logics that define it. <em>The possibility of abstraction and autonomy</em> will be explored not as a doctrine but as an open interpretative field through which doctoral researchers may examine their subjects at the level of foundational assumptions and operative laws.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThese <em>Rencontres</em> will emphasise that both abstraction and autonomy admit multiple interpretations, each opening further avenues for reflection. Their plurality will form the ground of the collective discussion. Participants will therefore be encouraged not only to explore but to present the internal laws and guiding principles that structure their research, testing how their projects appear when considered within a horizon freed, temporarily, from external contingencies.", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2025-11-06T15:36:23", "last_modification_date": "2025-12-18T14:33:46", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "AAC 020", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room=%3DAAC%200%2020&dim_floor=0&lang=fr&dim_lang=fr&tree_groups=centres_nevralgiques_grp%2Cmobilite_acces_grp%2Crestauration_et_commerces_grp%2Censeignement%2Cservices_campus_grp%2Cequipements_grp&tree_group_layers_centres_nevralgiques_grp=&tree_group_layers_mobilite_acces_grp=metro&tree_group_layers_restauration_et_commerces_grp=&tree_group_layers_enseignement=guichet_etudiants&tree_group_layers_services_campus_grp=information_epfl&tree_group_layers_equipements_grp=&baselayer_ref=grp_backgrounds&map_x=2532835&map_y=1152556&map_zoom=14", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "", "organizer": "EDAR Doctoral Program in Architecture and Sciences of the City, Institute of Architecture", "contact": "Elena Cogato Lanza, [email protected]", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "EDAR, IA", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/118431/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/32/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/4/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/72/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 71383, "title": "Simons Foundation - 2026 Pivot Fellowships", "slug": "simons-foundation-2026-pivot-fellowships", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/simons-foundation-2026-pivot-fellowships", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32731/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32731/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32731/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-05-14", "end_date": "2026-05-14", "start_time": null, "end_time": null, "description": "<strong>Aim: </strong>The program provides funding for today’s brightest minds to apply their talent and expertise to<strong> a new field in mathematics or the natural sciences</strong>.

This presentation will highlight the power of combining total synthesis and late-stage transformations to generate complex, modified proteins for deciphering the molecular roles of post-translational modifications (PTMs) in TFs regulation. Specific examples will focus on the synthesis of site-specifically phosphorylated and acetylated TFs, such as the Myc/Max system.<sup>2, 3</sup> Remarkably, these studies revealed that phosphorylation and acetylation patterns modulate Max–DNA interactions by altering DNA binding affinity and sequence specificity. Importantly, such mechanistic insights led to the development of novel bioactive miniproteins derived from Max (μMax), capable of inhibiting oncogene expression and cancer cell proliferation through antagonistic binding to target genes in cancer cells, paving the way for the development of new therapeutic proteins targeting oncogene expression.<sup>4-6</sup><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n1.

It presents around a hundred paintings on wood, didactic works produced between 1997 and 2007 in the teaching units of the painter Arduino Cantàfora. They suggest a possible way of making, between thought and <em>actio</em>, where drawing and painting structure a concept and become an essential language for expressing the founding idea of a project. Despite the transition to digital technology, the exhibition conveys the conviction that the artisanal culture of drawing and painting continues to play a fundamental and indispensable role in training architects.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nAn exhibition produced in collaboration with the <a href=\"https://www.epfl.ch/labs/lapis/en/index-html/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">LAPIS laboratory</a>at the EPFL’s Institute of Architecture and Urban Planning, Nicola Braghieri, Filippo Fanciotti and Emy Amstein<br>\r\n ", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-02-18T11:19:13", "last_modification_date": "2026-02-18T11:19:54", "link_label": "Une éducation au réel", "link_url": "https://www.epfl.ch/campus/art-culture/museum-exhibitions/archizoom/fr/une-education-au-reel-latelier-cantafora-2/", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "SG 1212", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==SG%201212", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Beatrice Lampariello, Nicola Braghieri, Filippo Fanciotti", "organizer": "Archizoom, LAPIS", "contact": "Solène Hoffmann", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "Architecture, ville, représentation, dessin, peinture, livre", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/119778/", "category": { "id": 9, "code": "MANIF", "fr_label": "Événements festifs et culturels", "en_label": "Cultural events", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/32/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/4/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/45/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/145/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/22/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api" ] } ] }
