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": "2026-08-14T16:36:48", "last_modification_date": "2026-08-17T13:15:17", "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": "Jo Taillieu", "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/121434/", "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/4/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/32/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 72452, "title": "MechE Colloquium: From Motion to Mission Planning via Augmented Graphs of Convex Sets", "slug": "meche-colloquium-from-motion-to-mission-planning-v", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/meche-colloquium-from-motion-to-mission-planning-v", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33700/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33700/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33700/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-10-06", "end_date": "2026-10-06", "start_time": "12:00:00", "end_time": "13:00:00", "description": "<strong>Abstract: </strong>Robot motion planning has traditionally focused on navigating obstacle-laden environments: computing smooth, collision-free trajectories from start to goal. Many real-world missions, however, require satisfying logical precedence constraints: collecting resources before accessing restricted zones, completing subtasks in a prescribed order, or acquiring tools before they can be used. This talk presents the augmented graph of convex sets (augmented GCS) framework, which unifies continuous trajectory optimization and combinatorial task sequencing within a single optimization problem.<br>\r\nThe key insight is that a layered augmented GCS, built on an exact convex partition of the free space, simultaneously selects an optimal task completion sequence and computes an optimal continuous trajectory. A shortest path in the augmented GCS solves both problems at once, yielding an exact solution up to a finite Bézier curve parameterization. The layered structure of the augmented GCS turns out to implement precisely the Bellman-Held-Karp (BHK) dynamic programming algorithm for the Traveling Salesman Problem, establishing a formal correspondence between our framework and the combinatorial TSP literature. This makes augmented GCS a continuous-geometry generalization of BHK, achieving the same singly exponential worst-case complexity, an exponential improvement over general-purpose temporal logic tools. We further develop a library of mission specification variations (including ordered collection, disjunctive keys, conjunctive doors, timed constraints, and conditional logic) each with proven correctness, substantially expanding the range of expressible mission types. Numerical experiments confirm exponential speedups in practice and near-global-optimality on a large benchmark suite.<br>\r\nTime permitting, I will briefly discuss ongoing extensions, including spacetime augmented GCS for dynamic environments, safety-aware planning via conformal prediction sets, and a galactic survey benchmark inspired by space mission planning that stress-tests the framework at scale.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Biography: </strong>Tyler Summers is an associate professor at the University of Texas at Dallas.

The model shows how debt demand is an important determinant of leverage dynamics and the cross-sectional distribution of leverage. Importantly, stronger debt demand is entirely absorbed by issuance and leads to lower long-run bond prices in equilibrium. I then extend the framework to allow for imperfect substitutability across bonds. Credit rating segmentation generates leverage dynamics around rating boundaries that are consistent with empirical evidence. When investors have preferred habitats, endogenous demand and supply jointly determine maturity premia. Correlation across cash-flow shocks affects the speed of leverage adjustment and can induce firms to repurchase debt optimally.</p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-09-01T11:07:17", "last_modification_date": "2026-09-25T15:43:17", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "UNIL, Extranef, room 126", "url_place_and_room": "", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Darius Nik-Nejad - PhD, SFI@EPFL", "organizer": "", "contact": "[email protected]", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Sur invitation", "en_label": "Invitation required" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/121643/", "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/3/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/39/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/105/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/116/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 72506, "title": "Essays in Asset Pricing with Trading Frictions", "slug": "essays-in-asset-pricing-with-trading-frictions-2", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/essays-in-asset-pricing-with-trading-frictions-2", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33752/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33752/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33752/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-10-06", "end_date": "2026-10-06", "start_time": "16:00:00", "end_time": null, "description": "<p>Thesis Directors: Prof. P.
