\r\nThe Mediterranean Institute for the City and Territories, designed in collaboration with Marion Bernard, Point Suprem, Jacques Lucan and Atelier Roberta, is a unifying entity rather than the simple sum of three existing schools (architecture, urban planning, and landscape studies). 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.

\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.

\r\nPart of School Lecture Series, Autumn 2026, Learning Vol.1
\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.

\r\nTemporary Sports Halls, Huts and a Hotel
\r\nGrowing student numbers and the need to renovate numerous school facilities prompted the Canton of Zurich to seek a temporary solution for sports facilities. Each building is intended to remain at a given location between three to fifteen years, until it is either relocated or stored for future reassembly. pool Architektur responded by designing a prefabricated timber construction system that enables a variety of spatial configurations and appearances, allowing for careful integration into the surrounding environment. Other projects such as the room-within-a-room installation for “El Gato Muerto” or the temporary hotel “Momentum” have evolved as a result of pool’s building for disassembly.
\r\n
\r\nThomas Friberg + Sophie Piticco, pool Architektur
\r\npool Architektur evolved from a discussion platform for debates on architecture and urban planning and began its practical work as a collective in 1998. The office and its form are understood as a work in progress with regard to an ever-changing profession. The office has won numerous competitions and is primarily active in urban planning at different scales as well as residential, infrastructure and public building construction. Over the past decades, ideas and solutions have changed, as have names and faces, because diversity and change are at the heart of pool Architektur’s identity. 
\r\n
\r\nThomas Friberg studied architecture at ETH Zurich. After graduating, he worked at ETH Studio Basel, David Chipperfield Architects, joining pool in 2008. In 2018 he was admitted as a new partner. 
\r\n
\r\nSophie Piticco studied architecture at EPF Lausanne and ETH Zurich. After internships in Munich and Helsinki, she joined pool Architektur after graduating in 2017. Since 2023 she is an associate at the firm.

This lecture will present 1:33/1:2 new publication that showcases work by EPFL students. This book is exemplary in representing how learning architecture can be both a school reality and something that continues to inspire the architectural community at large. “About architectural tomography, about the importance of the drawing, about the book presentation 1:33/1:2, and about a special bookselling”

\r\nSpecial book sale
\r\n1:33/1:2 will be available for purchase at a special reduced student price exclusively on the evening of the lecture. A special opportunity to discover the publication and take home a copy at student price.

The brain forms a large recurrent spiking neural network with extremely high connectivity making time-dependent mean-field approaches valuable tools to translate the microscopic level of single-neuron dynamics to the mesoscopic or macroscopic level. In recent years, experimental data as well as simulation studies have highlighted the importance of low-dimensional macroscopic dynamics in large recurrent spiking networks. On the theory side, the notion of low-rank connectivity has shifted into the focus of interest. 
\r\nThis meeting will to bring together researchers in mathematical and theoretical neuroscience who address the above topics from different perspectives.

\r\nPhase 1
\r\nPublic lectures from Monday afternoon – Wednesday end of day

The Innovate Cities & Infrastructure programme supports project-based research between researchers and practice partners to develop innovative solutions for sustainable urban development and resilient infrastructure.
\r\n
\r\nIt is a collaboration between the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) and ETH Zurich, with three objectives:  \r\n

    \r\n\t
  1. developing research-informed urban technologies, strategies and policies
    2. \r\n\t
  2. empowering institutions to deliver effective services
    3. \r\n\t
  3. facilitating bilateral knowledge transfer between researchers and practitioners.
    4. \r\n
\r\nProjects are conducted by consortia of ETH-Domain researchers and practice partners in eligible countries,  fostering co-creation, practical application, scalability, and lasting
\r\nlocal impact.
\r\n
\r\nResearch Grants: Competitive Call for Proposals
\r\nResearch projects are selected through a competitive Call for Proposal process. Applications are made by the ETH domain researcher together with the practice partner(s). Consortia can apply for two different types of grants:\r\n\r\n
    \r\n\t
  1. Urban Research Grants (Max. 24months, up to CHF 350,000): Supports collaborative project-based research between researchers at institutions in the ETH-Domain and practice partners from eligible countries to develop effective solutions to urban development and infrastructure challenges.
    2. \r\n\t
  2. Urban Pilot Grants (Max.12 months, up to CHF 30,000): Supports initial ideation to explore, prepare or design new collaborations and pilot a new applied research project with practice partners from eligible countries.
    3. \r\n

But what happens when theories and conceptual frameworks are de-contextualised and used for purposes other than those originally intended? Through this call for proposals, the Foundation supports research on such “dual use” effects and explores how the transfer of ideas from academia into political and ideological contexts takes place.
\r\n
\r\nResearch on the following topics is eligible for funding:\r\n\r\n
\r\nFunding is available for (interdisciplinary) project teams from the humanities, cultural studies and social sciences, consisting of two to three researchers (one PI and up to two Co-PIs).
\r\n
\r\nFunding: up to EUR 650K
\r\n
\r\nDuration: max. 2 years
\r\n
\r\nEligibility: The call for proposals is aimed at researchers with a PhD who are employed at German universities and research institutions. Researchers with a PhD from international research institutions may participate as Co-PIs.
\r\n
\r\nHow to Apply: Applicants must submit their application through the online platform. Applications should include a project description, expenditure plan, and CVs for all PIs. EPFL applicants should include 10% overhead in the budget, as allowed for academic institutions abroad.
