EPFL through the eyes of three photographers in a book and an exhibit

Published:12.04.19 — To commemorate EPFL’s 50th anniversary, we commissioned three photographers and gave them carte blanche to portray our School as they see it today – and where it is headed. Catherine Leutenegger took stunning photographs of our science; Bogdan Konopka portrayed the architecture that makes our campus unique; and Olivier Christinat captured the men and women who make up our community. Their work has been published in a new book and will be on display in augmented form in ArtLab’s Infinity Room I exhibition.
