Visit of the Smart Living Lab construction site
IDEAS Lunch
Sergi Aguacil Moreno will lead a guided tour of the Smart Living Lab construction site—an interdisciplinary research center jointly run by EPFL, HEIA-FR, and the University of Fribourg, located at the blueFACTORY site in Fribourg and dedicated to the future of living. Conceived as a multidisciplinary hub and a catalyst for innovation, the building is designed as a “living laboratory” addressing key challenges in sustainability, energy efficiency, and occupant well-being.
The axis Integrated Design, Architecture and Sustainability (IDEAS) is a joint initiative of both the Interdisciplinary Laboratory of Integrated Performance in Design (LIPID) and Laboratory of Architecture and Sustainable Technologies (LAST) of the ENAC School at EPFL. Later joined by the Structural Xploration Lab (SXL) and the Building2050 group, it aims to address an increased integration of the various issues related to sustainable architecture within the framework of the Doctoral program Architecture & Science of the city (EDAR). In parallel to the courses, a networking structure is created for the PhD students through informal meetings and regular thematic exchanges between PhD students, laboratory members and guests ("IDEAS Lunches").
For logistic aspects, participants are kindly requested to register via this link before Friday 15 May noon.
