HOUSING VOL.1
Permanence and transience - Converting a warehouse into a collective residential building
As a residential building, the former warehouse is actually entering its third life. It is prototypical not only because of the reuse of existing building structure, but also because of the communal programming.
Join us Monday 16 December at 6.30pm at @epflarchitecture to exchange with the architect Philipp Esch.The evening will also feature the unveiling of the .
The inquiries addressed by Esch Sintzel revolve around the creation of places. «Place» is space that is experienced – assimilated, laden with significance and bound to time. Therefore it is no coincidence that housing constitutes one of the main focuses of Esch Sintzel’s work in that no other architectural undertaking intervenes more directly in life – in the life of the city, of the community, of the individual.

EPFL Session
Local resiliency: Crisis and catastrophes as laboratories of local/global innovation, adaption and socio-ecological change
12 December 2024
14:00 - 18:00
Batiment SG + Online
Zoom ID: 648 9731 5924
Passcode: 121224
The Habitat Research Center is pleased to invite the ENAC community to joining the 16th International Forum on Urbanism, organized as a collective event by five member institutions: the University of Auckland, NTU Taipei, EPFL Lausanne, TU Delft, and the University of Buenos Aires. The EPFL seminar session will include international PhDs and researchers’ presentations, engaged in four parallel moderated panels.
The EPFL session will investigate ways to deal with natural and other disasters on a local level on different time horizons: before, during, and after the crisis. Preparedness is possible and necessary in urban planning and design, but this would not contribute to improving living conditions. Territories also require exploring new visions and long-term strategies to reduce vulnerability and external dependency regarding energy, water, food provision, and social infrastructures.

The SUPERSTUDIO team is happy to launch the two days WORKSHOPS of the semester under the subject METABOLIZE.
As guest @espainyamnyam, @matyldakrzykowski and @bacteriosapiens
Students, teachers, and guests will gather to discuss on food, power, territory and types.
When: 26 & 27 November
Where: AAC 2 01, SG Building, EPFL
Under the title 'Domesticated Foodscapes,' Superstudio explores hidden perspectives and design strategies related to food, examining its transformative impact on spatial and cultural practices. Since humanity settled down from a nomadic lifestyle as hunter-gatherers, we have continually shaped our environment to accommodate our needs for sustenance, shelter, and community. This ongoing process of cultivation extends from the micro level of our bodies cellular structures to the macro level of territorial ecologies. Among the many products of human labor, food uniquely embodies this interconnection, shaping our identities and intertwining with the landscapes and cities we inhabit. It creates shared cultural patterns and influences a diverse range of architectural typologies. However, since the onset of industrialization and the rise of global transport networks, these typologies have been decoupled from their original territories. Technological advancements have enabled artificial climate zones, while international trade has made food accessible far beyond its place of origin. Although food production continues to shape landscapes today, in many regions it also degrades them - especially where the demand far exceeds local needs.
In light of global population growth, the call for rationalizing food production is growing louder. But does this rationalization come at the expense of local traditions? Are these traditions still viable in the face of contemporary challenges, or are they being eroded by the push toward efficiency? Do we need to rethink the concept of tradition and identity?

ELEMENTS reviews
Acts of constructive and poetic translation
From the preceding phases, the language of an intersection of materials becomes a proto-element. During this phase, your architectures are negotiated, and affinities discovered between studios and projects. A set of 1:1 details as proto-elements are constructed, with the body’s energy implicit. A story about material, territory, and the body is told. Articulation is material.

Plan Común
HOUSING VOL.1
Architecture of Commons. La ‘Maison Commune’
Maison Commune is a self-commissioned project, a built manifesto and an open process with its inhabitants. A small housing project that defines and highlights a sequence of shared spaces and the joy of everyday life at all levels.
Join us Tuesday 26 November at 6.30pm at @epflarchitecture to exchange with the architects Felipe De Ferrari and Kim Courrèges partners at Plan Común’s.
Founded in 2012, Plan Común provides strategies to maximize and reinforce public and collective space -understood as a key aspect of architecture, regardless of its scale or program- by means of simple architecture tools, through a critical discourse, research, design and building. They are convinced that radical, basic -even silent- forms are more likely to be relevant and universal, and serve as a support for collective use and imagination.

Anooradha Iyer Siddiqi will join us on Wednesday, 20.11.2024 for the next lecture in the Neighbors lecture series on History & Theory of Architecture Vol. 4.
When Minnette De Silva founded the Studio of Modern Architecture in Kandy, Sri Lanka (then Ceylon), in 1947, she was one of the first women in the world to establish a professional architectural practice as sole principal. Her practice treated architecture as a lived experience and a contemporary expression of heterogeneous pasts. Minnette De Silva: Intersections offers a richly illustrated critical introduction to De Silva’s practice, exploring a range of projects through the intersecting intellectual concerns that shaped her work. Drawing on modernist architectural techniques and material heritage practices, De Silva forged a distinctive, critically engaged aesthetic program and set of values.
Anooradha Iyer Siddiqi is an assistant professor at Barnard College, Columbia University and specializes in histories of architecture, modernity, and migration, centering African and South Asian questions of historicity and archives, heritage politics, and feminist and colonial practices.

HOUSING VOL.1
Vivoli, Affordable Housing Mumbai
Vivoli is an ‘environment of spaces’, enclosed, semi-open and open. These spaces construct an opportunity for numerous activities at different times of the day in the house and in the community. It offers multifunctional spaces within the single unit where the user can create different living patterns based on different times of the day avoiding the stereotypical jail cell-like flats that people are forced to buy. Instead, it offers a place that fosters community living in apartments that behave like homes.
Join us Tuesday 11 November at 6.30pm at @epflarchitecture to exchange with the architect and designer Rohan Chavan.
Rohan started his practice in Mumbai in 2015 to work on projects related to public and community sanitation, urban design, affordable housing, single-family homes and institutions. His approach toward living patterns and bold spaces are the highlights of its design practice. He believes architecture as a science emerged from man’s humble need for shelter. A home is the purest form of design.
