Alongside a 'plurality of time', we are interested in the 'plurality of space'. Rather than transparency, it is the arrangement of different worlds face-to-face or side-by-side that creates this impression of density and richness in relationships.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nTo craft sustainable development, we believe that, alongside a body of fundamental knowledge, a spirit can be cultivated through tireless attempts, including failure, to develop a 'knowledge of the hand' capable of finding new forms of expression. The countless experiences that we have accumulated at MANSLAB over the past 15 years can undoubtedly be best recounted in the form of anecdotes. An anecdote is a historical detail or a characteristic of customs or character that becomes a short, entertaining story evoking emotions such as laughter or horror.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThe students’ work that I am about to present illustrates certain tested, refined and proven principles, such as the indestructible link between ideas and the hand through the slow and joyful acquisition of knowledge; the economy of means to highlight the essential; errors and non-linearity as inspiring methods in the design process; and the cultivation of empirical, manual and physical knowledge that prioritises grasping sensory, supra-sensory and memory-based reality and is capable of creating new spaces. The launch of the book ANEKDOTA will take place at the same event.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u><strong>About the speaker:</strong></u><br>\r\nMarco Bakker is born in Harlingen, Netherlands, in 1960. He first earned a degree in Civil Engineering from HTS Leeuwarden, before continuing his studies in Architecture and Urban Planning at Delft University of Technology, including spending a year abroad at EPFL. Following four years of experimentation in architecture and photography, he founded the firm Bakker & Blanc Architects (BABL) with Alexandre Blanc in 1992. At the same time, he worked as an assistant to Prof. Vincent Mangeat and visiting professor Kaschka Knapkiewicz at EPFL. From 2003 to 2009, he taught architectural design and theory at the BFH in Burgdorf. Following four years as visiting professors together with Alexandre Blanc, they were appointed associate professors at the EPFL Institute of Architecture within the 'MANSLAB, Laboratory of Spatial Manufacturing' chair from 2013 to 2025.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nHe also served on the Arts and Architecture Commission of the Canton of Bern and was a member of the editorial board of Werk-Bauen & Wohnen. He chaired the jury for the Swiss Pavilion at the Venice Biennale on behalf of Pro Helvetia. Marco Bakker also regularly participates in various photographic and editorial projects related to art and architecture.<br>\r\n ", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-03-26T14:49:29", "last_modification_date": "2026-03-26T16:15:54", "link_label": "S'inscrire", "link_url": "http://shorturl.at/Zatib", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "SG 1138", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==SG%201138", "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": "Prof. Marco Bakker", "organizer": "IA - Gesualdo Casciana", "contact": "[email protected]", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Sur inscription", "en_label": "Registration required" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120198/", "category": { "id": 8, "code": "LI", "fr_label": "Leçons inaugurales - Leçons d'honneur", "en_label": "Inaugural lectures - Honorary Lecture", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "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/5/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/145/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/27/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/32/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 71479, "title": "Strategic Deals and Partnerships in Pharma and Medtech [CAS Management in Life Sciences 2027]", "slug": "strategic-deals-and-partnerships-in-pharma-and-med", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/strategic-deals-and-partnerships-in-pharma-and-med", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32824/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32824/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32824/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2027-01-26", "end_date": "2027-01-28", "start_time": null, "end_time": null, "description": "<strong>Module 1: \"Strategic Deals and Partnerships in Pharma and Medtech\"</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\nDeals and Partnerships are the lifeblood of the life sciences industry due to the high cost, high risk and long duration of relying on organic growth.

In this talk, I will discuss the potential of Topological Data Analysis (TDA) for gait pattern classification. Unlike conventional approaches that rely on explicit detection of Gait Events (GEs) to compute Spatiotemporal Gait Parameters (SGPs), TDA characterises the global structure of gait signals directly, capturing relationships and patterns in the data without requiring GEs. This is particularly relevant in real-world settings, where GE detection can be diQicult due to heterogeneity in walking conditions and gait patterns, potentially biasing clinically relevant metrics and, consequently, decision-making.<br>\r\nWithin our department, preliminary results have shown that TDA-based features can achieve classification performance comparable to that of SGPs in fall-risk assessment. These findings suggest that topology oQers a competitive alternative for representing gait data, with the potential to better handle variability across subjects and pathological<br>\r\nconditions.<br>\r\nBuilding on these results, we plan to further extend the TDA framework in two directions. First, we aim to investigate time-aware topological methods to better capture the<br>\r\ntemporal structure of gait signals. Second, we will explore Topological Deep Learning (TDL) approaches to reduce reliance on handcrafted design choices and potentially<br>\r\nimprove classification performance. By combining the robustness of topology with datadriven representation learning, this work seeks to provide robust tools for the classification of typical and pathological gait patterns.<br>\r\n </p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-03-30T09:44:37", "last_modification_date": "2026-03-30T09:47:45", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "CM 1 517", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==CM%201%20517", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Elena Botti, Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB)", "organizer": "Markus Kirolos", "contact": "Maroussia Schaffner", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120224/", "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/5/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/9/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/7/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 71489, "title": "Adapting to Conflict: Equilibrium structure and adaptive learning in harmonic games", "slug": "adapting-to-conflict-equilibrium-structure-and-ada", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/adapting-to-conflict-equilibrium-structure-and-ada", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32834/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32834/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32834/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-04-09", "end_date": "2026-04-09", "start_time": "11:15:00", "end_time": "12:00:00", "description": "<strong>Abstract</strong><br>\r\nWe propose an adaptive, “parameter-agnostic” algorithm for learning in harmonic games, a class of finite games characterized by strictly opposed, conflicting interests. In contrast to zero-sum games—which do not always capture conflict, even between two players—harmonic games may exhibit highly non-convex equilibrium configurations. In particular, if the game’s ambient dimension is odd, we show that the set of totally mixed Nash equilibria is a (typically non-convex) real algebraic variety of dimension at least one, which extends all the way to the boundary of the game’s strategy space. Despite the difficulties incurred by this complicated equilibrium structure, we provide an extrapolation-based variant of “follow-the-regularized-leader” (FTRL) which converges to Nash equilibrium with order-optimal regret guarantees: O(1) in self-play, and O( sqrt(T) ) against arbitrary play.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Biography</strong><br>\r\nDavide Legacci is a PhD candidate in Computer Science at Université Grenoble Alpes, CNRS and Inria, within the GHOST team, supervised by Panayotis Mertikopoulos and Bary S.
