Between them lies a fluid interstitial space that lends itself to encounters and exchanges, thanks to a double-height space that connects the two levels. This spatial constellation offers a wide variety of possible uses, while the construction uses organic and geo-sourced materials, allowing the new building to become part of its surroundings and creating interiors with unique atmospheres. </em><br>\r\n<br>\r\nLorraine Beaudoin has been running the Joud Beaudoin Architects office in Lausanne with Christophe Joud since 2014. Study partners since the beginning of their architectural training at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Lyon (Ensal) and then at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) for their master's degree and joint diploma in 2009, they contributed between 2010 and 2020 to various research projects and theoretical writings on collective housing at the Laboratory of Theory and History of Architecture (LTH2, EPFL), under the direction of Bruno Marchand.

In mythology and storytelling, rivers and fountains bring life, healing, and uncontrollable power. Since modernism, we have pursued watertight environments, sealing interiors while buried streams and pipes persist beneath our streets and walls. When a leak appears, this fiction collapses. Forgotten infrastructures surface, and suppressed ecologies emerge—moss, humidity, micro-habitats. Leaks become reminders of water’s formative power, suggesting possible futures for architecture and urban space.</em><br>\r\n<br>\r\nTruwant + Rodet + is a Basel-based architecture practice founded in 2017. The diverse background of its partners informs a curious and interdisciplinary practice connecting architecture with landscape, furniture design, research and teaching. Their work focuses on the transformation of existing structures and on the relationship between building, context and landscape, understanding architecture as part of a broader territorial framework.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nIn 2017, they received the Swiss Art Award for “A Pavilion.” In 2018, they co-founded the Basel cultural platform dasVerein with Melissa Freudiger. In 2020, together with ASBR, they won the competition for the renovation of the Centre Culturel Suisse in Paris, completed in 2026. In 2023, they won the competition for the adaptive reuse of the former Nauentor postal center in Basel with Bruther and Jan Kinsbergen, as well as the competition for affordable housing in Basel with Clauss Kahl Merz. Since 2023, they have been guest teachers at EPFL Lausanne.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThis lecture is part of the School Lecture Series<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>COMMUNITY VOL.2</strong><br>\r\nSeven exemplary projects and case studies<br>\r\n<br>\r\nCommunity is an ambivalent concept.

Challenging assumed architectural “normality,” the talk argues that the discipline has produced unequal spatial regimes tied to heteronormative models of living. In response to ecological and social precarity, Opera Aperta frames architecture as a living practice of repair, care, and stewardship—extending beyond buildings to communities and ecosystems.</em><br>\r\n<br>\r\nAnna Puigjaner (she/her) is a PhD architect and researcher, co-founder of MAIO, an architectural office based in Barcelona. Her work, linked to feminist studies, is focused on inclusive domestic architectures able to redefine former biased structures. She is currently Professor of Architecture and Care at ETH Zürich. Previously, she taught at the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation GSAPP at Columbia University, at the Royal College of Arts, London, and at the Barcelona School of Architecture ETSAB/ETSAV - UPC. Anna has presented her work widely, including the Art Institute of Chicago, the Venice Biennale, and the New York Museum of Modern Art.

The interaction and networking with the community is essential to our activity: indeed, we teach to and learn from each other. The circle symbolizes the flow of information among peers as well as a paradigm where crossbreeding of ideas and methods is key to scientific advances. This message will be portrayed with examples from my scientific career and a vision of the future.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>About the speaker</strong><br>\r\nGiovanni De Micheli is currently the Scientific Director of the EcoCloud center at EPFL. He was professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Stanford and EPFL for 40 years. Prof. De Micheli is a Fellow of ACM, AAAS and IEEE, elected member of 4 Academies, including the US National Academy of Engineering and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He was the recipient of the 2025 IEEE Gustav Kirchhoff Award, the 2022 ESDA-IEEE Phil Kaufman Award and several other awards.<br>\r\n ", "image_description": "Honorary Lecture - Prof. Giovanni De Micheli", "creation_date": "2025-07-11T16:13:38", "last_modification_date": "2026-03-04T15:47:11", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "CO 2", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==CO%202", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Prof. Sabine Süsstrunk, Dean of IC School and Prof. Adrian Ionescu, Dean of STI School, Prof. Giovanni De Micheli, Prof. Edouard Bugnion, Vice President for Innovation and Impact", "organizer": "<a href=\"https://www.epfl.ch/schools/ic/\">IC School</a> ", "contact": "<a href=\"mailto:[email protected]\">[email protected]</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": "honorary lecture, leçon d'honneur, Giovanni De Micheli, computer science, IC School, STI School, AI", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/117133/", "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/3/?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/27/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/416/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 70651, "title": "Talent Pitch Switzerland 2026", "slug": "talent-pitch-switzerland-2026", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/talent-pitch-switzerland-2026", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32077/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32077/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32077/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-05-06", "end_date": "2026-05-06", "start_time": "18:00:00", "end_time": "22:30:00", "description": "<p>Talent Pitch is a pitching contest that will take place for the fourth time on May 6, 2026, at the Volkshaus in Zurich.
