The EPFL Architecture End-of-Year Exhibition showcases, at the end of each semester for a week, the work of every design studio in the SG Building and its adjacent aisles. It is a moment envisioned to celebrate the work produced by students and to facilitate exchanges on the diversity of practices and methodologies coexisting within our curriculum.
Taking place inside and around the SG0310 room, the (un)studio exhibition is structured in two parts corresponding to the sites we have been working on during the semester.
The EPFL As Site part of the exhibition showcases a curated selection of works by two groups of five students, each approaching EPFL from distinct entry points: the events of the SG Hall Occupations in solidarity with the Palestinian people, and the petition to save the agricultural future of the Fermes de Bassenges.
Around SG0310, the (un)studio goes out of its (litteral) bubble to inhabit the hallways around its studio space. Cleaning up the surrounding corridors to create an ambiguous hybrid zone in a space habitually only used for circulation and storage. The SG hall Occupations group expands here on its printed matter in a series of spreads and projections showcasing the various attitudes of research it developed to inquire around the event. The Ferme de Bassenges group displays a selection of documents it produced to highlight the value of keeping the farm and its practices on the Campus, as well as its proposition for an alternative future for the Bernoulli Center, wrapped up in a powerpoint presentation projection addressed at the school’s direction.
The (un)studio (mis)uses the pretext of this canonical event to engage with the building and its inhabitants—expanding beyond the studio space and into the interstitial spaces of circulation... cleaning up... lighting it up!
