Contribution to the exhibition Des Cèdres à Dorigny

EPFL

Centered around architectural projects—both built and unrealized—the exhibition “Des Cèdres à Dorigny”, developed by Archizoom, retraces the birth and evolution of the School of Architecture in Lausanne. A founding speech delivered nearly a century ago by the architect Jean Tschumi opens the exhibition. On this occasion, Prof. Emmanuel Rey, head of the Laboratory of Architecture and Sustainable Technologies (LAST), was invited to write a commentary on this speech, examining what has remained constant and what has changed between 1943 and today.
