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.</em><br>\r\n<br>\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.<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!", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-02-06T16:52:02", "last_modification_date": "2026-02-09T11:15:16", "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=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "<a href=\"https://www.maio-architects.com/\">MAIO, Anna Puigjaner</a>", "organizer": "<a href=\"https://www.epfl.ch/schools/enac/education/architecture/\">EPFL Architecture</a>", "contact": "<a href=\"mailto:[email protected]\">[email protected]</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/119612/", "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/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/4/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/32/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 64749, "title": "BRIDGE Discovery: 10th call", "slug": "bridge-discovery-10th-call", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/bridge-discovery-10th-call", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/26583/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/26583/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/26583/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-04-28", "end_date": "2026-04-28", "start_time": null, "end_time": null, "description": "<p>BRIDGE is a joint programme conducted by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) and Innosuisse, the Swiss Innovation Agency.

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.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Prerequisites:</strong><br>\r\nBasic familiarity with Python, image analysis, and machine learning concepts is desirable, but not strictly necessary.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Level:</strong> <br>\r\nBeginner / Intermediate<br>\r\n ", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-01-30T11:40:06", "last_modification_date": "2026-01-30T11:40:06", "link_label": "Registration", "link_url": "https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc1NukuuzIzzMnbDZkfudvj1M7wDJY6JeWQKoQrcl1ZIVFcUw/viewform?usp=header", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "CE 1 711.2", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==CE%201%20711.2", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "<a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/mallory.wittwer?lang=en\">Mallory Witwer</a>", "organizer": "<a href=\"https://imaging.epfl.ch/\">Center for Imaging</a>", "contact": "<a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/cecilia.carron?lang=fr\">Cecilia Carron</a>", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Sur inscription", "en_label": "Registration required" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/119528/", "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/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/4/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/5/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/9/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/284/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/27/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 71609, "title": "The Abstraction Trap: Lessons from a Career in the Memory Trenches", "slug": "the-abstraction-trap-lessons-from-a-career-in-the", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/the-abstraction-trap-lessons-from-a-career-in-the", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32940/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32940/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32940/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-04-29", "end_date": "2026-04-29", "start_time": "14:00:00", "end_time": "15:00:00", "description": "<div><strong><u>Abstract</u></strong><br>\r\nWhy do some foundational technologies advance rapidly while others seem frozen in time? For twenty years, production garbage collectors have remained remarkably stagnant—not for a lack of great ideas, but for a lack of the right abstractions. In this talk, I reflect on a career spent navigating the friction between theory and deployment. I will explore how high-level abstractions—from strict encapsulation to the \"workpacket\" model—catalyze the innovation necessary to disrupt an industry status quo. Using the MMTk framework as a case study, I'll show how these architectural foundations enabled the development of systems like LXR that significantly outperform the state-of-the-art. However, innovation is only half the battle. Drawing from recent experiences productizing MMTk for OpenJDK, Julia, and Ruby, I will reveal the hidden impediments to taking even the most promising ideas to production. I will discuss how decades of abstraction leakage in production codebases create a substantial barrier to entry for new ideas. I'll also discuss the difficulty of motivating adoption when a lack of appropriate methodology causes the true costs of incumbent systems to be underestimated or entirely misunderstood. While this talk draws on the world of memory management, it is not a talk about garbage collection. It is a reflection on the struggle to innovate within established fields and a roadmap for using foundational abstractions to clear the way for the next generation of software.</div>\r\n\r\n<div> </div>\r\n\r\n<div><strong><u>Bio</u></strong><br>\r\nSteve Blackburn is a Senior Staff Research Scientist at Google DeepMind, a professor at the Australian National University and an ACM Fellow.

She established her research group at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in 2001, where her main discoveries included the finding that protein assembly pathways are stereotypical and conserved. In 2013, she transitioned to the Wellcome Genome Campus, where she became the first and, to date, the only faculty member appointed across both the EMBL-European Bioinformatics Institute and the Wellcome Sanger Institute. In 2016, she was appointed as the Head of the Cellular Genetics programme at the Wellcome Sanger Institute and co-founded the Human Cell Atlas initiative. From April 2024, she was appointed chair in Stem Cell Medicine at the University of Cambridge, within the Department of Medicine and the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute. Additionally, Sarah dedicates part of her time to GlaxoSmithKline and to EnsoCell Therapeutics, the startup company she co-founded. The Teichmann lab focuses on developing and applying cell atlas technologies to understand human tissue architecture, particularly examining how cellular diversity is generated in the immune system and during development.</div>\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e552a16 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\">\r\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\"> </div>\r\n</div>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-01-28T14:35:28", "last_modification_date": "2026-02-13T13:56:17", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "SV 1717", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==SV%201717", "url_online_room": "https://epfl.zoom.us/j/97039045251?pwd=WDFjUGV3Y1FxeG9rTUIrOGpiUXhLQT09", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "<strong>Sarah Teichmann FMedSci FRS</strong> (Group Leader), Cambridge Stem Cell Institute & Department of Medicine, Jeffrey Cheah Biomedical Centre, University of Cambridge", "organizer": "Prof. Charlotte Bunne", "contact": "Lisa Smith, ISREC Administrative Assistant", "is_internal": "True", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "Grace Lecture, cancer", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/119505/", "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/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/9/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/26/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 71495, "title": "Reprogramming GPCR Specificity: Engineering CXCR2 for Selective CXCL5 Binding and Cellular Signaling", "slug": "reprogramming-gpcr-specificity-engineering-cxcr2-2", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/reprogramming-gpcr-specificity-engineering-cxcr2-2", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32837/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32837/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32837/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-04-30", "end_date": "2026-04-30", "start_time": "17:00:00", "end_time": null, "description": "<p>Thesis Director: Prof. P.

A newer paradigm -- Performance Optimization Programming (POP) -- reframes the question of algorithm analysis as a metaoptimization problem, enabling a computer-assisted, systematic search for optimal methods. We introduce Branch-and-Bound Performance Estimation Programming (BnB-PEP), a unified methodology for constructing certifiably optimal first-order methods for both convex and nonconvex optimization. Prior PEP-based approaches formulate worst-case performance as a convex semidefinite program, but this convexity is simultaneously a limitation: only a narrow class of problem setups admit such tractable reformulations. BnB-PEP overcomes this barrier by directly embracing nonconvexity. BnB-PEP is applied to several settings that were previously intractable: constructing the optimal gradient method without momentum, deriving optimal methods for reducing gradient norms of smooth nonconvex functions, and designing efficient methods for weakly convex nonsmooth optimization. In each case, the methodology yields new state-of-the-art convergence bounds. Finally, we show how the analysis generalizes to settings with gradient corruption and allows for the discovery of an entirely novel class of first-order optimization algorithms which enjoy optimal corruption protection.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>References:</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>[Das Gupta, van Parys, Ryu: Branch-and-Bound Performance Estimation Programming](<a href=\"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2203.07305\">https://arxiv.org/pdf/2203.07305</a>)</li>\r\n\t<li>[Gösgens, van Parys: Subgradient Methods for Nonsmooth Convex Functions with Adversarial Errors](<a href=\"https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.03072\">https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.03072</a>)</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Short bio: Bart van Parys</strong> is a senior researcher in the Stochastics groupt at the Dutch National Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science (CWI).
