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" ] }, { "id": 71172, "title": "Anisotropic Inviscid Limit for the Navier-Stokes Equations with Transport Noise Between Two Plates", "slug": "anisotropic-inviscid-limit-for-the-navier-stokes-e", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/anisotropic-inviscid-limit-for-the-navier-stokes-e", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32540/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32540/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32540/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-03-24", "end_date": "2026-05-25", "start_time": "16:30:00", "end_time": "17:30:00", "description": "<p>We investigate an anisotropic vanishing viscosity limit of the 3D stochastic Navier-Stokes equations posed between two horizontal plates, with Dirichlet no-slip boundary condition. The turbulent viscosity is split into horizontal and vertical directions, each of which approaches zero at a different rate. The underlying Cylindrical Brownian Motion driving our transport-stretching noise is decomposed into horizontal and vertical components, which are scaled by the square root of the respective directional viscosities. We prove that if the ratio of the vertical to horizontal viscosities approaches zero, then there exists a sequence of weak martingale solutions convergent to the strong solution of the deterministic Euler equation on its lifetime of existence. A particular challenge is that the anisotropic scaling ruins the divergence-free property for the spatial correlation functions of the noise.</p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-02-18T12:59:24", "last_modification_date": "2026-03-22T19:58:56", "link_label": "Working-Reading Seminar", "link_url": "https://www.epfl.ch/labs/stoan/reading-working-seminar/", "canceled": "True", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "MA B2 485", "url_place_and_room": "", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Dr Daniel Goodair (EPFL)", "organizer": "<a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/xue-mei.li\">Xue-Mei Li</a>", "contact": "<a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/xue-mei.li\">Xue-Mei Li</a>", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Expert", "en_label": "Expert" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "Working-Reading seminar, Probability, stochastic analysis", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/119781/", "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/7/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 71174, "title": "Schneggenburger & ...

Advancements in surface engineering have enabled significant enhancement of boiling heat transfer. However, performance gains rarely transfer across conditions or geometries. Two challenges illustrate why: bubble nucleation behavior is poorly reproducible; and increasing nucleating density to raise the heat transfer coefficient typically lowers the system’s maximum achievable heat flux. This talk presents our efforts in addressing each challenge by identifying the governing mechanism and designing for it.<br>\r\nIn the first part, micro-engineered silicon surfaces isolate two governing length scales: the hydrodynamic boundary layer thickness, which controls nucleation stability through inter-site shielding, and the bubble departure diameter, which governs vapor removal after full activation. We experimentally show that nucleation stability responds to the former length scale (~0.24 mm); heat transfer in the activated regime responds to the latter length scale (~2.5 mm).<br>\r\nThe second study addresses the high-heat-flux limit, where large vapor structures block liquid return. Capillary wicking through copper inverse opals (~10 μm pores) supplies liquid beneath the vapor. Crucially, the pore cavities are themselves the nucleation sites, so wicking capacity and nucleation density derive from the same structure. Further, CuO nanograss on the pore walls suppresses vapor penetration into the porous layer, enabling thicker structures and greater capillary head. The result is simultaneous enhancement of heat transfer coefficients and maximum heat fluxes.<br>\r\nTogether, the two works show that mechanism-targeted surface design yields gains that empirical topography optimization does not. They point toward a broader design principle: that nucleation and interfacial transport, treated as controllable rather than given, offer a promising path to engineering phase change processes across applications.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<a href=\"https://dx.doi.org/10.1021/acsami.9b20520?ref=pdf\">https://dx.doi.org/10.1021/acsami.9b20520?ref=pdf</a><br>\r\n<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-10209-w\">https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-10209-w </a><br>\r\n<br>\r\nBio: Zhengmao Lu is a Tenure Track Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at EPFL.
