about 5x3
The 5x3 is a cycle of open lectures which aims to present individual practical approaches of architects from different European countries. Each semester 5 offices are invited to give a conference. Each office presents 3 of their projects: the very first one and two others. Those 3 projects are like milestones that should represent the parcours of the office. The insight into the different working methods and the story behind the formation of the office provides a good opportunity to learn about the different ways to start and lead an architectural office. The 5x3 lectures are organized by EAST/EPFL in collaboration with the Forum d’Architecture de Lausanne. △
