\r\nWhile modern industry is still adapting to the emergence of Industry 4.0, a new opportunity space is starting to surface. The ability to balance sustainability goals, people talent and resilient value chains is quickly becoming the defining differentiator for operations professionals. Profound change currents are reshaping supply chains on a global scale. Those who wish to stay ahead of this change need to move from supply chain management to value chain management thinking. Move beyond simply managing operations to realizing growth, innovation and sustainability goals.

\r\nThis exhibition explores the vast field of graphic representation in architecture through fifteen years of teaching architectural representation at EPFL at the turn of the 2000s. It presents around a hundred paintings on wood, didactic works produced between 1997 and 2007 in the teaching units of the painter Arduino Cantàfora. They suggest a possible way of making, between thought and actio, where drawing and painting structure a concept and become an essential language for expressing the founding idea of a project. Despite the transition to digital technology, the exhibition conveys the conviction that the artisanal culture of drawing and painting continues to play a fundamental and indispensable role in training architects.

\r\n
\r\nInternational Archives Day is a global event established by the International Council on Archives in 2005 to raise awareness of the role of archives and highlight the work of archivists. To mark the occasion, the Archives de la Construction Moderne and Archizoom invite you to take a tour that begins with the ACM's original document storage facilities and ends with their display at Archizoom with the exhibition Des Cèdres à Dorigny, bâtir l'école d'architecture.
\r\n
\r\nAbout the exhibition 
\r\n
\r\nFocusing on architectural projects, both built and unrealised, kept in the archives of modern construction, the exhibition Des Cèdres à Dorigny tells the story of the birth and evolution of the Lausanne School of Architecture. From its beginnings within the EPUL to its integration into the EPFL campus, this historical journey puts into perspective the conditions of architectural education, its relationship with engineering, and the role of archives in building an institutional memory that sheds light on both the discipline of architecture and its teaching.

\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\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\nPositive random walks and positive-semidefinite random matrices
\r\n
\r\nAbstract:
\r\nOn the real line, a random walk that can only move in the positive direction is very unlikely to remain close to its origin. After a fixed number of steps, the left tail has a Gaussian profile under minimal assumptions. Remarkably, a similar phenomenon occurs when we consider a positive random walk on the cone of positive-semidefinite matrices. After a fixed number of steps, the minimum eigenvalue is described by a Gaussian random matrix model.
\r\nThis talk introduces a new way to make this intuition rigorous. The methodology addresses an open problem in computational mathematics about sparse random embeddings. The presentation targets a general mathematical audience.
