Architecture

Architecture, as part of the ENAC faculty, operates in a trans-disciplinary environment, where architects, civil engineers and environmental engineers work together in research and education. Their mission is to find new ways to merge knowledge and action and initiate positive transformations for our societies. EPFL Architecture integrates the Institute of Architecture (IA), the Section of Architecture (SAR) and the doctoral program Architecture et sciences de la ville (EDAR). Our community works within and at the boundaries of its disciplines to position itself in the current context of climatic and social urgency. Drawing on science, technology, and theoretical and practical tools, architecture is a powerful means of transforming this knowledge into projects and offering new perspectives on real-life scenarios.

Neighbours Vol. 7: The Media System of Empire, Brian Larkin / HITAM, TPOD, THEMA

 22.04.2026   18:0020:00

Speaker: Bio Brian Larkin is the Director of Graduate Studies and a Professor of Anthropology at Barnard College, Columbia University. His research focuses on the ethnography and history of media in Nigeria. Most broadly he examines the introduction of media technologies into Nigeria—cinema, radio, digital media—and the religious, political, and cultural changes they bring about. He explores how media technologies comprise broader networked infrastructures that shape a whole range of actions from forms of political rule, to new urban spaces, to religious and cultural life. He has also published widely on issues of technology and breakdown, piracy and intellectual property, the global circulation of cultural forms, infrastructure and urban space, sound studies, and Nigerian film (Nollywood). He is currently completing the manuscript for Secular Machines: Media and the Materiality of Islamic Revival, which analyzes the role media play in the rise of new Islamic movements in Nigeria and explores theoretical questions about technology and religion.
