LIPID is involved in the teaching of courses from bachelor’s to doctoral level with an emphasis on project-based approaches in the perspective of linking building performance aspects with architectural design implications.
LIPID has initiated, in a collaboration with LAST, a new orientation “Integrated Design Architecture and Sustainability” (IDEAS) which are offered at both the master’s level and the doctoral level. It was introduced at the master’s level in the form of a minor (IDEAS Minor) in the fall of 2013 and at the doctoral level through an orientation introduced in the summer of 2012.
Note: Open proposals for student projects are listed here.

Doctoral level
The axis “Integrated Design Architecture and Sustainability” (IDEAS) is a joint initiative of both the Interdisciplinary Laboratory of Performance-Integrated Design (LIPID) and Laboratory of Architecture and Sustainable Technologies (LAST) of the School of Architecture, Civil and Environmental Engineering (ENAC) at EPFL. It responds to a need to further reinforce the integration of sustainable architecture questions within the framework of the Doctoral program Architecture & Science of the city (EDAR) as well as a to strengthen exchanges and synergies between the three institutes of ENAC. Towards this end, it lies on one hand on a new interdisciplinary education offer in the form of seminars and workshops, and on the other hand on a networking structure for EPFL PhD students.
