EPFL Architecture at the Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne is the architecture school at university level in the French speaking part of Switzerland. Its profits from a pointedly transdisciplinary environment, being embedded at ENAC Faculty, where architects, civil engineers and environmental engineers are engaging in research and education with the mission to find new ways to engage knowledge and action for our societies.
Our vision
We are convinced that in order to answer to these urgencies we must review and diversify the role of the architect. To do this, we have two fields of action, teaching and research.
Our mission
With our activities we aim to address the systemic challenges posed by the continued climate crisis, rapid urbanization, and the threat of collapsing eco-systems. Teachings in the school prepare students to respond to these emergencies, right from the first year of study.
