Sun Shines on Architecture
21.03-21.06.2025
In spring 2025, Archizoom is inviting you to immerse yourself into the world of solar architecture.
Capturing, filtering, reflecting or protecting: the interactions of the sun with architecture and with our territories are many and varied. The sun is at once a source of precious energy, of unwanted heat, and of light. In the face of global warming, these technical and poetic challenges are getting a real update — illustrated in the exhibition by work from EPFL laboratories and the resurgence of historical examples.
This exhibition is part of the Solar Biennale 2: Soleil-s
Vernissage! Wednesday 19 March, SG building
Joint opening with Enter the Hyper-Scientific
5 p.m. – Exhibition opening at Archizoom
6 p.m. – Adresses by
Prof Marilyne Andersen (Director of the LIPID laboratory)
Prof Paolo Ricci (Director of the Swiss Plasma Center)
Dr Yasmine Calisesi (Executive Director of the Energy Center)
Cyril Veillon (Curator of the exhibition Sun Shines on Architecture)
Giulia Bini (Curator of the programme Enter The Hyper Scientific)
6.30 p.m. – Opening of the exhibition From Solar to Nocturnal à EPFL Pavilions – Pavilion A with the artists Alice Bucknell and Matthew C. Wilson, followed by an aperitif
