NP2F ARCHITECTES
IMVT – Supporter de la Ville
The Mediterranean Institute for the City and Territories, designed in collaboration with Marion Bernard, Point Suprem, Jacques Lucan and Atelier Roberta, is a unifying entity rather than the simple sum of three existing schools (architecture, urban planning, and landscape studies). The Institute’s purpose is to physically foster relationships, exchanges, and collaborations between the three institutions and their immediate as well as broader environment. The architecture of the Institute is therefore intentionally open to the city. From Porte d’Aix Square, this small campus stands out, day and night, as a welcoming presence.
NP2F is an architecture firm founded in 2009 by François Chas, Nicolas Guérin, Fabrice Long, and Paul Maitre Devallon. Today, it brings together around twenty team members split between Marseille and Paris, and works in various cities across France and abroad. The projects NP2F engages in are both architectural and urban, and its areas of expertise include sports facilities, cultural and educational buildings, leisure and dining venues, and public space.

Hypercentre : Quand la gare devient ville
Han van de Wetering, fondateur de l’atelier Corso à Zurich, était l’invité de l’atelier du Prof. Emmanuel Rey du Laboratoire d’architecture et technologies durables (LAST) pour parler de son travail d’urbaniste à travers le projet de requalification de la gare de Zurich. Intitulée « Hypercentre : Quand la gare devient ville», sa conférence a permis aux étudiantes et étudiants de découvrir, quelle que soit la taille d’une gare, les multiples enjeux liés à ce type de lieu.

💫 We are delighted to invite you to the opening of our next Archizoom exhibition:
THE EXTRACTION OF VALUE
MEASURE, MATERIALS AND CRAFT
25.11.26–03.04.27
Opening Lecture Tuesday 24 November, 6.30pm
by Prof. Paolo Tombesi
From design to construction, where does the true ingenuity of building construction lie? The Extraction of Value shifts the focus of architectural knowledge towards the tools that measure, mark out and align a building during its construction. Over 300 historical instruments, collected over several decades and from various regions of the world by the architect Paolo Tombesi, form the core of this exhibition. Spirit levels, gauges, templates, graduated rulers and plumb lines are presented as veritable repositories of technical knowledge, with each tool symbolising choices relating to precision, distribution and the nature of the work.
To showcase this collection, Archizoom has joined forces with USM, @usmmodularfurniture, whose furniture – based on a rigorous grid system, precise assembly and flawless regularity – provides the ideal setting for an exhibition dedicated to the sense of measurement.
An exhibition organised in collaboration with Prof. Paolo Tombesi and Jacob Schlüssel, from the FAR Construction and Architecture Laboratory at EPFL

MAS UTD ETHZ EPFL – Opening Day 2026-2027]
LAUNCH OF THE MAS UTD ETHZ/EPFL 2026-2027
On September 14th, we officially launched the 5th edition of the ETHZ/EPFL joint MAS Program in Urban and Territorial Design!
The teaching staff, along with representatives from the ENAC Faculty, the Extension School EPFL, and the School for Continuing Education ETHZ, came together to celebrate the start of this new academic year and to celebrate the ongoing collaboration between our two institutions.
Prof. Charlotte Malterre-Barthes, on behalf of the whole MAS UTD teaching staff, introduced them to the themes of the courses, which focus on the idea of “Post-Extractive Design”: imagining how contemporary city-territories could be produced, inhabited, and cared for beyond the logic of extraction.
This year, we welcomed a new cohort of talented students from all over the world, each bringing their passion and enthusiasm. Hailing from diverse backgrounds and cultures, all participants are ready to dive into the complex challenges of urban development, sustainability, and territorial design.
We were thrilled to welcome the new students to Switzerland for the first day of the MAS UTD 2026–2027 at EPFL in Lausanne. After the first semester at EPFL, they will be setting off to Zurich in February 2027 for the second semester of the MAS UTD at ETHZ.
At the same time, we celebrated the incredible achievements of the graduating cohort from the academic year 2025-2026, who successfully completed the MAS UTD across both schools over the past year!

AUTUMN 2026, LEARNING VOL.1
THOMAS FRIBERG + SOPHIE PITICCO, POOL ARCHITEKTUR
Building for Disassembly
Growing student numbers and the need to renovate numerous school facilities prompted the Canton of Zurich to seek a temporary solution for sports facilities. Each building is intended to remain at a given location between three to fifteen years, until it is either relocated or stored for future reassembly. pool Architektur responded by designing a prefabricated timber construction system that enables a variety of spatial configurations and appearances, allowing for careful integration into the surrounding environment.
pool Architektur evolved from a discussion platform for debates on architecture and urban planning and began its practical work as a collective in 1998. The office and its form are understood as a work in progress with regard to an ever-changing profession. The office has won numerous competitions and is primarily active in urban planning at different scales as well as residential, infrastructure and public building construction. Over the past decades, ideas and solutions have changed, as have names and faces, because diversity and change are at the heart of pool Architektur’s identity.

Do Robots Dream of Construction Sites? 🏗️
Exhibition currently at Archizoom, until 5 December 2026!
What if robots didn’t replace us, but worked alongside us? Robots are capable of assembling, analysing, experimenting and learning from their mistakes. Could they take on construction work without replacing human labour?
Research carried out by the CRCL – Lab for Creative Computation at EPFL explores a form of collaboration between humans and machines that departs from the traditional promise of automation. It opens the way to more inclusive building sites and non-standardised, more environmentally friendly architecture that goes beyond the mere logic of replacement and productivity.
An exhibition produced in collaboration with the CRCL – Lab for Creative Computation, led by Stefana Parascho

Série photographique part 3 « Schütze-Areal par Jonas Wüest Architekten »
Le bâtiment de la nouvelle infrastructure de quartier sur le site de Schütze combine l'existant et le nouveau pour créer une construction globale compacte. L'école existante Heinrichstrasse 240 a été agrandie à l'amont et à la longueur par deux volumes de bâtiments. Outre le hall d'entrée de l'école, le nouveau bâtiment du bâtiment de l'école abrite une maison de quartier, la bibliothèque PBZ Pestalozzi de Zurich et un gymnase. Dans le nouveau bâtiment longitudinal, orienté vers le parc de quartier, se trouvent les locaux du jardin d'enfants. L'école existante a été réstaurée et est utilisée comme école primaire par environ 260 élèves.
Les différentes utilisations (école, jardin d'enfants, bibliothèque, maison de quartier) sont accessibles séparément sur les quatre côtés de l'ensemble du bâtiment et des espaces extérieurs correspondants sont en amont. La rencontre des différents usages sous un même toit crée un monde intérieur vivant avec de nombreuses possibilités de rencontre et un nouveau centre pour la vie de quartier.
