The Institute’s purpose is to physically foster relationships, exchanges, and collaborations between the three institutions and their immediate as well as broader environment. The architecture of the Institute is therefore intentionally open to the city. From Porte d’Aix Square, this small campus stands out, day and night, as a welcoming presence.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>NP2F architectes</strong><br>\r\nNP2F is an architecture firm founded in 2009 by François Chas, Nicolas Guérin, Fabrice Long, and Paul Maitre Devallon. Today, it brings together around twenty team members split between Marseille and Paris, and works in various cities across France and abroad. The projects NP2F engages in are both architectural and urban, and its areas of expertise include sports facilities, cultural and educational buildings, leisure and dining venues, and public space.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Part of School Lecture Series, Autumn 2026, Learning Vol.1</strong><br>\r\nWe are told that learning is no longer confined to the school or the university, but it has become a continuous process that involves the totality of life. Yet in accepting this reality, we take for granted several questions that loom large within the contemporary idea of learning. In a time when technology and information are ubiquitous, does it still make sense that for learning to happen or be confined within a place? Is learning still an asymmetrical relationship where there are teachers and a student? And above all, is learning accessible, or has it become too expensive a commodity? In this lecture series, we’ll attempt to answer these questions by investigating learning on different levels such as technology, construction systems, educational spaces, and above all, making architecture. Indeed, the question that is more than anything else crucial to us is whether architecture is still a place of learning and not only of empowering those who have capital to build it. We will look at schools, drawings, robots, and measuring devices. We will ponder whether these things are only ‘tools’ to achieve a result or can still be vital places for learning. <br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Recordings available on YouTube</strong><br>\r\n@epflarchitectureschool<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Graphic Design</strong><br>\r\nRoman Karrer & Sandi Gazic", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-08-14T16:43:45", "last_modification_date": "2026-08-17T13:18:51", "link_label": "Poster School Lecture Series Fall 2026", "link_url": "https://go.epfl.ch/school-lecture-series-fall-2026", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "Foyer SG", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room=%3DSG%20294.22&dim_floor=2&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=2532923&map_y=1152547&map_zoom=12", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "NP2F architects", "organizer": "<a href=\"http://[email protected]\" target=\"_blank\">EPFL Architecture</a>", "contact": "<a href=\"http://[email protected]\" target=\"_blank\">EPFL Architecture</a>", "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": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/121436/", "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/4/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 72349, "title": "School Lecture Series: Paolo Tombesi / EPFL Architecture", "slug": "school-lecture-series-paolo-tombesi-epfl-architect", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/school-lecture-series-paolo-tombesi-epfl-architect", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33609/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33609/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33609/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-11-24", "end_date": "2026-11-24", "start_time": "18:30:00", "end_time": "20:00:00", "description": "<strong>Exhibtion Opening Lecture</strong><br>\r\nThe extraction of value – Measurements, materials and craft<br>\r\n25.11.2026-24.04.2027<br>\r\nProduced in collaboration with the FAR<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>The extraction of value – Measurements, materials and craft</strong><br>\r\nWhy and how do we take measurements across building?

Several decades ago, upon the completion of a PhD on the distribution of technical knowledge in building, he started to collect rulers – a compulsion maintained while working at EPFL as professor of construction and architecture since 2016. Between 2017 and 2020, he directed the university’s Institute of Architecture and the City. Prior to his appointment in Lausanne, he held the Chair in Construction at Melbourne University. <br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Part of School Lecture Series, Autumn 2026, Learning Vol.1</strong><br>\r\nWe are told that learning is no longer confined to the school or the university, but it has become a continuous process that involves the totality of life.

Is our future really just all about prompt engineering?</em><br>\r\n<br>\r\nAt a time when artificial intelligence, autonomous agents and large language models seem to be presented as the answer to every challenge, <strong>Margo Seltzer</strong> offers a thought-provoking perspective on the value of simplicity in computer science and machine learning. She will demonstrate how simpler and more transparent approaches can deliver performance comparable to that of the most sophisticated models, while providing greater interpretability, more efficient use of resources and a more natural way of addressing issues of fairness and privacy. The lecture will also explore a theme that lies at the heart of her career: <strong>collaboration</strong>. Drawing on her own experience of collaborative research, Margo Seltzer will explain how working together can broaden one’s impact, help overcome imposter syndrome, and enable individuals to discover and develop their unique strengths.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>About Prof. Margo Seltzer</strong><br>\r\n<a href=\"https://www.seltzer.com/margo\">Prof. Margo Seltzer</a> is Co-Head of the Department of Computer Science at the University of British Columbia (Vancouver), where she moved after two decades as a Full Professor at Harvard University.

She works on architecture and internationalism and institutions; the technical and philosophical history of materials; the participation of buildings and design actors in political culture and global governance; architecture’s historiography, and epistemologies of time. Her first book, <em>Designs of Destruction: The Making of Monuments in the Twentieth Century</em> (University of Chicago Press, 2018) described how a new definition of “the monument” arose from various plans within liberal internationalist organizations to protect and salvage famous building from destruction in the middle of the 20th Century. This includes the making of lists and maps of monuments “not to be bombed” by American art historians during World War II, the decolonization of museums in the global South at the hands of organizations from the League of Nations to UNESCO, and the salvage of massive building complexes, such as the temples of Abu Simbel, by global multidisciplinary consortia.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nAllais has published a number of essays on related themes. “Architecture and Mediocracy at Unesco House” (in <em>Marcel Breuer: Building Global Institutions</em>, ed. Massey and Berdgoll, Lars Mueller, 2018) describes the fraught collaborative design of the UNESCO headquarter in Paris. “The Real and the Theoretical, 1968” (in <em>Perspecta</em> 42, 2010) uncovers a never-realized plan for a “Harlem school” produced by Peter Eisenman of the Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies (IAUS) in collaboration with the New York Urban League. “Rendering: On Experience and Experiments” (in <em>Design Technics</em>, ed. May and Çelik Alexander, Minnesota: 2021) is an essay-length history of rendering informed by changing theories of experience, media and technology.

Taking the journal as its point of departure, the discussion will explore how architecture can foster forms of publicness today, and how civic character is negotiated through design, use, representation, and institutional frameworks.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n“We search for <em>civicness</em> today not because civic life is secure, but because this moment has pushed us just far enough outside it. From this partial exterior, we can perceive both its erosion and its necessity. Amid securitized public squares, outsourced infrastructures, and platform-mediated publics, <em>civicness</em> becomes visible not as a fixed category or style, but as a fragile architectural attitude that we are now compelled to identify, question, and, if possible, reposition.”<br>\r\n<br>\r\n“Civicness,” Materia Arquitectura no 29 (2025): 9<br>\r\n ", "image_description": "Shazid Ahsan | National Parliament, Dhaka, 5 August 2024 | Wikimedia Commons CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2026-10-30T08:24:53", "last_modification_date": "2026-11-05T15:27:27", "link_label": "Materia Arquitectura no 29", "link_url": "https://www.materiaarquitectura.com/index.php/MA/issue/view/32", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "Foyer SG", "url_place_and_room": "", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Felipe De Ferrari (Plan Común), <br>\r\nKersten Geers (OFFICE)<br>\r\nDemetra Vogiatzaki (gta ETH Zürich)\r\n\r\nSarah M.
