Across models, drawings, research, and debate, the End of the Year Show brings together the diverse investigations of EPFL Architecture’s studios. Rooted in a project-based approach that connects design with technical, social, and critical questions, the exhibition reflects on how architecture engages contemporary forms of living, building, and collective space. From 26.–29.5.26, the End of the Year Show invites visitors to discover four days of architectural work in dialogue with places, practices, and collective futures.

\r\nThe Event will feature a keynote presentation:\r\n
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\n
\r\nPhase 1
\r\nPublic lectures from Monday afternoon – Wednesday end of day
\r\n
\r\nPresentations will alternate between speakers with a physics and those with a math background so as to foster links between the two communities.

\r\nPhase 2
\r\nTutorials for PhD students on Thursday and Friday.
I develop a dynamic capital structure framework in which many firms supply debt without commitment, and debt prices are determined by market clearing. Corporate debt is not a standard asset with fixed supply and exogenous cash flows. Its market valuation affects debt issuance, which in turn affects aggregate debt supply, default risk, and the cash flows delivered by debt. 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.

\r\n
\r\nOn the occasion of the exhibition Do Robots Dream of Construction Sites?, on view at Archizoom from 9 September to 5 December 2026, we invite you to explore a selection of scientific and popular science books, as well as science fiction novels dedicated to human-robot interactions, a theme at the heart of the exhibition.
\r\n
\r\nThis selection offers different perspectives on robotics, automation, work, and the future forms of collaboration between humans and machines.
\r\n
\r\nAll documents can be borrowed according to the Library’s standard borrowing conditions.
