Guided tour of the Archives de la Construction Moderne followed by a guided tour of the exhibition Des Cèdres à Dorigny, bâtir l'école d'architecture
International 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.
About the exhibition
Focusing 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.
Guided tours are available upon registration
Guided tours can be organized upon request for groups and schools
