Focusing on architectural projects, both built and unrealised, kept in the archives of modern construction, the exhibition 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.

An exhibition produced in collaboration with the Archives de la construction moderne at EPFL and Marie Bourdon.
