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. Their projects and achievements are mainly the result of public competitions.<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. 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.<br>\r\n<br>\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.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nSave the dates and join us on Tuesday evenings!<br>\r\n ","image_description":"","creation_date":"2026-02-06T16:53:55","last_modification_date":"2026-02-09T11:15:04","link_label":"","link_url":"","canceled":"False","cancel_reason":"","place_and_room":"Foyer SG","url_place_and_room":"https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==SG%20294.22","url_online_room":"","spoken_languages":["https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/1/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=json"],"speaker":"<a href=\"https://jb-a.ch/\">Joud Beaudoin, Lorraine Beaudoin</a>","organizer":"<a href=\"https://www.epfl.ch/schools/enac/education/architecture/\">EPFL Architecture</a>","contact":"<a href=\"mailto:architecture@epfl.ch\">architecture@epfl.ch</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":"school lecture series","file":null,"icalendar_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/119613/","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/32/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/4/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=json"]},{"id":70922,"title":"Une éducation au réel.

These both absorbed influences from outside and, in turn, had an impact on the wider world. Roger Diener presents the cultural foundations of the city of Basel, which in the second half of the 20th century enabled the emergence of its own urban <em>Baukultur</em>, while Gion A.

Alongside a 'plurality of time', we are interested in the 'plurality of space'. Rather than transparency, it is the arrangement of different worlds face-to-face or side-by-side that creates this impression of density and richness in relationships.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nTo craft sustainable development, we believe that, alongside a body of fundamental knowledge, a spirit can be cultivated through tireless attempts, including failure, to develop a 'knowledge of the hand' capable of finding new forms of expression. The countless experiences that we have accumulated at MANSLAB over the past 15 years can undoubtedly be best recounted in the form of anecdotes. An anecdote is a historical detail or a characteristic of customs or character that becomes a short, entertaining story evoking emotions such as laughter or horror.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThe students’ work that I am about to present illustrates certain tested, refined and proven principles, such as the indestructible link between ideas and the hand through the slow and joyful acquisition of knowledge; the economy of means to highlight the essential; errors and non-linearity as inspiring methods in the design process; and the cultivation of empirical, manual and physical knowledge that prioritises grasping sensory, supra-sensory and memory-based reality and is capable of creating new spaces. The launch of the book ANEKDOTA will take place at the same event.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u><strong>About the speaker:</strong></u><br>\r\nMarco Bakker is born in Harlingen, Netherlands, in 1960. He first earned a degree in Civil Engineering from HTS Leeuwarden, before continuing his studies in Architecture and Urban Planning at Delft University of Technology, including spending a year abroad at EPFL. Following four years of experimentation in architecture and photography, he founded the firm Bakker &amp; Blanc Architects (BABL) with Alexandre Blanc in 1992. At the same time, he worked as an assistant to Prof. Vincent Mangeat and visiting professor Kaschka Knapkiewicz at EPFL. From 2003 to 2009, he taught architectural design and theory at the BFH in Burgdorf. Following four years as visiting professors together with Alexandre Blanc, they were appointed associate professors at the EPFL Institute of Architecture within the 'MANSLAB, Laboratory of Spatial Manufacturing' chair from 2013 to 2025.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nHe also served on the Arts and Architecture Commission of the Canton of Bern and was a member of the editorial board of Werk-Bauen &amp; Wohnen. He chaired the jury for the Swiss Pavilion at the Venice Biennale on behalf of Pro Helvetia. Marco Bakker also regularly participates in various photographic and editorial projects related to art and architecture.<br>\r\n ","image_description":"","creation_date":"2026-03-26T14:49:29","last_modification_date":"2026-03-26T16:15:54","link_label":"S'inscrire","link_url":"http://shorturl.at/Zatib","canceled":"False","cancel_reason":"","place_and_room":"SG 1138","url_place_and_room":"https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==SG%201138","url_online_room":"","spoken_languages":["https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/1/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=json"],"speaker":"Prof. Marco Bakker","organizer":"IA - Gesualdo Casciana","contact":"gesualdo.casciana@epfl.ch","is_internal":"False","theme":"","vulgarization":{"id":2,"fr_label":"Public averti","en_label":"Informed public"},"registration":{"id":1,"fr_label":"Sur inscription","en_label":"Registration required"},"keywords":"","file":null,"icalendar_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120198/","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=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/4/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/5/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/27/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/32/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/145/?format=json"]},{"id":70066,"title":"Tremblement - by Séverin Guelpa","slug":"tremblement-by-severin-guelpa","event_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/event/tremblement-by-severin-guelpa","visual_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/31529/200x112.jpg","visual_large_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/31529/720x405.jpg","visual_maxsize_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/31529/max-size.jpg","lang":"en","start_date":"2025-10-10","end_date":"2026-04-26","start_time":null,"end_time":null,"description":"<p>Depuis 2011, le <a href=\"https://www.epfl.ch/schools/cdh/fr/cdh-culture/\">CDH-Culture</a> invite un·e artiste à présenter une œuvre en relation avec le Rolex Learning Center. Cette année, <a href=\"https://guelpa.ch/\">Séverin Guelpa</a>, artiste basé à Genève, travaillant entre le Valais (les glaciers), les Etats-Unis (les déserts) et le Chili (Salar d’Atacama), propose une série de grandes sculptures évoquant les tremblements - géologiques, politiques ou écologiques - qui secouent notre monde.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>L’artiste a récupéré des pierres dans une carrière suisse</strong>, il ajoute des éléments réfléchissants, il compose avec des déchets métalliques et du bois de charpente. Ces œuvres, en équilibre-déséquilibre, manifestent les forces et les tensions, ainsi que les chutes, les glissements et les catastrophes possibles. Ces œuvres font aussi référence, de près ou de loin, aux événements intervenus récemment dans les villages de Blatten (Valais) ou de Brienz (Grisons), désormais célèbres pour leurs impressionnants glissements de terrain.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nElles interprètent librement cette période mouvementée que nous traversons et qui nous oblige à réfléchir à nos propres limites. Comme un écho à la période de turbulences que nous traversons, elles réfléchissent une forme de précarité, d’imprévisibilité ou encore de fragilité. Les morceaux d’acier poli interagissent directement avec le Rolex Learning Center qu’ils mettent en scène dans le tourbillon du monde.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<em>Tremblement </em>aborde des questions constructives mais aussi humaines et collectives. A l’allure à la fois technique et fragile, ces sculptures consistent en des mises en tension de matières et de formes, comme maintenues en équilibre par l’énergie de leur mise en œuvre. Ces éléments seront réalisés en collaboration avec différentes entreprises locales, dont une scierie du Val de Bagne, une carrière de la vallée du Rhône, une entreprise de façades métalliques à Fribourg et une autre de vitres à Bulle. A chaque fois, il s’agira au possible de recourir à des chutes de production ou à du bois issu d’abattage après tempête. Bois et pierre renvoient aux matières premières, métal et câble aux gestes et à la manutention humaine.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Vernissage le jeudi 9 octobre 2025 à 18h<br>\r\nExposition à voir jusqu'au 26 avril 2026</strong><br>\r\n<em>Entrée libre</em><br>\r\n<br>\r\nCette exposition bénéficie de l'apport généreux des partenaires suivants que nous remercions:<br>\r\n<a href=\"https://www.mtamta.ch/\">MTA Carrière</a> (St-Léonard)<br>\r\n<a href=\"https://www.rocpan.ch/\">ROCPAN SA</a> et <a href=\"https://ray-sa-ag.ch/\">RAY SA</a> (Givisiez) <br>\r\n<a href=\"https://www.scierie-larippe.ch/\">Scierie de la Rippe SARL</a><br>\r\n<br>\r\n---<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>L’ARTISTE</strong><br>\r\nExplorateur des espaces extrêmes, observateur des actions humaines dans la nature, <strong><a href=\"https://guelpa.ch/\">Séverin Guelpa</a></strong> (1974) cherche à agir avec les écosystèmes en vue de mieux les habiter. Son travail s’ancre dans les territoires fragiles, exposés, menacés – ces zones du globe où les tensions entre nature, ressources, économie et survie humaine sont les plus palpables. Depuis plusieurs années, il arpente déserts, zones arides, espaces industriels ou géographies en transition, pour y extraire une forme de vérité physique et poétique.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nDepuis 2014, Séverin Guelpa a été invité à participer à de nombreuses expositions, biennales et événements importants à travers le monde. Il a notamment exposé au Palais de Tokyo à Paris, au Museu do Amanhã à Rio de Janeiro, et a participé à des biennales internationales telles que celles de Mongolie, d’Athènes ou encore de Larnaca à Chypre. Ces invitations témoignent de la reconnaissance d’un travail engagé, qui place la matière et le territoire au cœur d’une réflexion artistique contemporaine.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nIl a fondé la <a href=\"https://guelpa.ch/matza/\">plateforme collective MATZA</a> qui s’est déployée dans le désert du Mojave (2014–2017), sur le glacier d’Aletsch (2016–2018), sur les îles Kerkennah en Tunisie (2017) puis en Colombie (Medellín et Cúcuta) et au Kenya (Nairobi) entre 2022 et 2023.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nAprès une formation en sciences politiques, Séverin Guelpa a obtenu un master en arts visuels à la HEAD – Genève. Il a depuis été invité à présenter son travail, à donner conférences et workshops dans de nombreuses institutions, universités et écoles d’art, en Suisse comme à l’international.\r\n</p><ul>\r\n\t<li><strong><a href=\"https://guelpa.ch/\">https://guelpa.ch</a></strong></li>\r\n</ul>","image_description":"","creation_date":"2025-10-09T16:04:05","last_modification_date":"2025-10-09T16:04:05","link_label":"Site web de Séverin Guelpa","link_url":"https://guelpa.ch/","canceled":"False","cancel_reason":"","place_and_room":"Rolex Learning Center (extérieur et intérieur)","url_place_and_room":"https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==RLC%20G1%2094.12","url_online_room":"","spoken_languages":[],"speaker":"<a href=\"https://guelpa.ch/\">Séverin Guelpa</a>, artiste (CH, GE)","organizer":"<a href=\"https://www.epfl.ch/schools/cdh/fr/cdh-culture/\">EPFL CDH-Culture</a>","contact":"<a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/veronique.mauron\">Véronique Mauron Layaz</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/118061/","category":{"id":5,"code":"EXPO","fr_label":"Expositions","en_label":"Exhibitions","activated":true},"academic_calendar_category":null,"domains":[],"mementos":["https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/2/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/22/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/145/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/175/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/344/?format=json"]},{"id":70645,"title":"Startup Champions Seed Night 2026","slug":"startup-champions-seed-night-2026","event_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/event/startup-champions-seed-night-2026","visual_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32071/200x112.jpg","visual_large_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32071/720x405.jpg","visual_maxsize_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32071/max-size.jpg","lang":"en","start_date":"2026-05-07","end_date":"2026-05-07","start_time":"17:00:00","end_time":"21:00:00","description":"<a fr-original-style=\"\" href=\"https://epflalumni.ch/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">EPFL Alumni</a>, <a fr-original-style=\"\" href=\"https://www.epfl.ch/innovation/startup/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">EPFL Startup Launchpad</a> and <a fr-original-style=\"\" href=\"https://www.venturelab.swiss/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Venturelab</a> are delighted to announce the <strong>15th edition of the Startup Champions Seed Night</strong> at the <a href=\"https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==RLC%20E1%20240\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Forum Rolex</a> on EPFL campus on <strong>Thursday, May 7, 2026!</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\nThis annual event brings together some of the most promising entrepreneurs from EPFL and beyond.
