\r\nAbstract
\r\nThis workshop is designed for EPFL researchers interested in building effective, automated computer vision systems for scientific applications. During the workshop, we will review and explain the main steps of a machine learning-based computer vision project, from problem definition to image acquisition, annotation, training, validation, and inference. We will illustrate these steps in a practical way, by building a real computer vision application together until we can run it live on a camera. Along the way, we will discuss important concepts (data drift, overfitting, data augmentation) and observe how they manifest themselves in practice. We will also share tips and tricks to help you tackle your own computer vision challenges.
\r\n
\r\nPrerequisites:
\r\nBasic familiarity with Python, image analysis, and machine learning concepts is desirable, but not strictly necessary.
\r\n
\r\nLevel: 
\r\nBeginner / Intermediate

Neuropeptides play a critical role in modulating neural circuits and influencing behavior, yet their precise mechanisms of action remain largely unexplored. In this talk, I will present our latest findings on the role of neuropeptides in neural circuit function, uncovered through the use of novel genetically encoded sensors and silencers designed specifically for peptidergic transmission. By applying these innovative tools, we have identified key pathways and mechanisms by which neuropeptides regulate neuronal activity and orchestrate complex behavioral responses. This presentation will highlight the biological insights gained from these studies, offering a deeper understanding of how neuropeptide signaling shapes brain function and behavior.

\r\nIncreasing the Leak
\r\n
\r\nWater has always shaped territories and cities, both visibly and invisibly. 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.
\r\n
\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.
\r\n
\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.

\r\nCOMMUNITY VOL.2
\r\nSeven exemplary projects and case studies
\r\n
\r\nCommunity is an ambivalent concept. It involves both gathering through shared customs and exclusion. Some claim that inclusive communities do not exist. Recent history shows people more often unite through exclusion than inclusion. However, communities are not sealed. Philosopher Roberto Esposito explains that community ‘is not a property or territory to defend but a void, a debt, and a gift to others’, reminding us of our otherness.
\r\n
\r\nThis lecture series explores the topic of community through architecture. How does architecture explore, define, or enable communities? Can architects collaborate directly with communities, bypassing institutional entities? How can design convey a collective experience? Seven emerging and established architectural figures respond to these questions through their work, which spans film, exhibitions, and communitarian buildings.

\r\nOpera Aperta
\r\n
\r\nOpera Aperta, this lecture by Barcelona-based architect, researcher, and MAIO co-founder Anna Puigjaner presents recent work on alternative and inclusive domestic architectures. 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.
\r\n
\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. Her research project Kitchenless City was awarded the Wheelwright Price (2016) by the Harvard Graduate School of Design.

\r\nCOMMUNITY VOL.2
\r\nSeven exemplary projects and case studies
\r\n
\r\nCommunity is an ambivalent concept. It involves both gathering through shared customs and exclusion. Some claim that inclusive communities do not exist. Recent history shows people more often unite through exclusion than inclusion. However, communities are not sealed. Philosopher Roberto Esposito explains that community ‘is not a property or territory to defend but a void, a debt, and a gift to others’, reminding us of our otherness.
\r\n
\r\nThis lecture series explores the topic of community through architecture. How does architecture explore, define, or enable communities? Can architects collaborate directly with communities, bypassing institutional entities? How can design convey a collective experience? Seven emerging and established architectural figures respond to these questions through their work, which spans film, exhibitions, and communitarian buildings.

\r\nMaison de quartier des Plaines du loup
\r\n
\r\nLocated in the Parc du loup, on the edge of a newly built neighborhood, the community center is designed according to the principle of “houses within a house”: the various programmatic units are distributed across four distinct volumes, fragmenting the building and giving it a human scale and porosity to its environment. 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.
\r\n
\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. Their projects and achievements are mainly the result of public competitions.
