In 2010, Steiner SA Group Switzerland’s leading total
services contractor combined with Dominique Perrault
Architecture won the competition driven by the EPFL
to achieve the “Campus Plan” modernization project
by implementing the Center for Neuroprosthetics and
the headquarters of the Federal School. This project
includes the renovation of two existing buildings on
campus, the former Mechanical Engineering Halls
and Central Library, and the creation of an iconic new
building, the Teaching Bridge.
Parallel to urban redevelopments already led by the
EPFL at the North and South of the site, architecture
must refl ect the will to reinforce connections between
the natural ground and the artifi cial soil. In this sense,
the rehabilitation of the former Mechanical Engineering
Halls and the Central Library buildings, but also the
new Teaching Bridge, are involved in the campus
re-urbanization process by breaking the existing
separation between the technical ground-fl oor and the
university life taking place several meters higher.

is the central atrium, a dynamic
space with many bridges and

Through a colorfull architecture, there is the intention
to remark clearly the consolidation of the central
administration at the heart of the campus. The building
will be covered with opaque and glazed colored strips like
a rainbow. The volumetry and the supporting structure of
the old library has been preserved. In order to offer light
to central spaces, as to the common circulations, two
courtyards were created.

This urban redevelopment project called “Quartier de
l’Etang”, is located in the heart of urban dynamics, at
just two kilometers from the historic heart of Geneva.
The site has been developed around industrial, craft
and commercial activities taking advantage of the
infrastructure network which is in the periphery of
the urban core. Today overtaken by the city, this site
will mutate to meet the needs of the citizens. This
change must take place within a project that requires
the highest standards of spaciousness, comfort and
security for its future inhabitants. The geometry of
the islets in the site is based on existing axes located
outside the perimeter: the road network on the one
hand, with the “chemin de l’Etang”, and pedestrian and
cycle networks on the other hand, relying on existing
routes. The project was organized with the intention
of offering to the city a new set of public spaces
(boulevard, pedestrian areas, squares, parks) that are
not only related to the existing road network but also
act as key elements linking the landscape structures
in the city.

showcase and the neighbourhood heart at
the south.
The Neighbourhood Square, the second space
of centrality, more intimate, is mainly designed
to local residents. Built as a rectangular plaza
bordered by residential and craft buildings, it
includes in the ground fl oor local shops and a
Neighbourhood Association.

At the beginning it will be the Park. A green area
of fi ve hectares, which will take immediately the
place of asphalt and warehouses constructed in the
60s and 70s. This fi rst phase will see in parallel the
reconstruction of historic buildings of the factory and
the creation of leisure facilities along the border south
to the river Leno. The future presence of industrial
buildings, will be revealed in the landscape of the park,
through parallel strips as the surrounding vineyards,
hiding the invisible predispositions infrastructure
under the ground. New production structures will be
raised from its impression on the ground, designed
by vegetation. A system with an organic development
that will minimize the drawbacks of traditional yards,
returning immediately a large proportion of industrial
land to the territory and the city.

A medieval building in the old city of Bergamo. Natural
light is provided only from the south, while the fl oor
area on the north is carved into the montain and
too deep for daylighting. The proposal demolishes
all recent interior partitions and keep the existing
structure walls. All added elements are carefully
treated as separated objects from the existing walls in
order to assule its contemporanity and emphatise the
old architecture. The old ‘crociera’ vaults are revealed
and the spaces underneath treated with thoughtful
minimalism. A luminous spine is added to the north side
of the apartment - a kind of digital counterpoint to the
windows that face south and the glorious countryside
of Lombardy.
The apartment itself presents several constraints for
us: it is in an historic building, and as such the exterior
facade cannot be modifi ed, natural light is provided
via windows on the south-east facing facade of the
apartment, but approximately half of its fl oor area is too
deep for day lighting.
Our response has been to fi nd innovative ways to open
up the spaces, both external and internal, as well as
appropriate avenues to deploy technology, such as the
luminous spine inserted at the back pf the apartment
and facing the windows to the south.

SOCIAL CLUBFilipa Leal de Carvalho and Tânia Teixeira
Milan, Italy 2011
program reading spaces, kitchen, cafeteria, meeting spaces.
built area 65 m2
responsabilities understand the whole design project; prepare
and develop drawings, models, images and other documents
relating to the design; take responsibility for all the project design
development.
The social club is a temporary pavilion that will shelter
different activities to the small village close to Milan
as to the public in general. How to do an hierarchy of
“spaces” in the middle of the void? A hut in the middle
of the desert already creates hierarchy and defi nes two
spaces, one internal and one external. If we extend this
hut we will have instead three spaces, two external and
one internal.
So, we propose a fl exible pavilion that can adapt
different spaces to specifi c uses. An organic
“corridor pavilion”, which provide a serie of outdoor
plazas, between nature and housing. The building
is dematerialized in a modular structure that allows
its adaptation to the surrounding and allow a large
programmatic diversity. The exterior is privileged
in detriment of its internal taking the ability to
accommodate more people, more organizations, more
diversity and responding to changes of the program and
target public, that the contemporary urban condition
demands the contemporary urban condition. The
pavilion designs, through its organic and adaptable
shape, natural squares, that receves and put in relation
to youth, seniors, environmentalists, disabled people,
artisans, activists in a meeting point that claims
universal.
The proposed construction method is based on
a modular system capable of being combined in
numerous forms.

Rarely, when a glacier melts reveals treasures of the
Nature, Crystals, order and perfection.
Crystals are light, color, energy, information. They are
the interactive , emotional and physical elements of the
project.
The Project rises from the assumption that the Glacier
is an element of the Nature that blossom life within
its environment. Crystals sparse around the terrain,
among grass and fl owers, denote a new landscape
made up of sensations, emotions and memories.
Memories are the patrimony to highlight, and in this
specifi c case, Nature is the center of the Project. The
new DialogCenter is a place of tourist promotion and
simultaneously is a place of the village of Naters. It is
an instant of Naters’ urban development. It is a place
coming from the knowledge of the mountains, from
geology, as an example of the movement in time.
The Mountain has to be penetrate to discover the
DialogCenter, to allow getting surprised. The Mountain
has to be climbed to discover the Kräutergarten and the
Themenpark, the landscape of the new DialogCenter.

responsabilities as a student, I took all the responsability for the
project, including a non-sleep week.
Located in an old industrial zone, the project seeks to
stir an area into action somehow forgotten that places
between the historical center of Lisbon and the zone of
the “Expo 98”.
A special attention to the existing city leads us to
considering the sense of “neighborhoods” and the
neighboring atmosphere of the city. “ Lisbon, city of
neighborhoods”, deserves a special attention and
needs an urban integrated rehabilitation and an
urban development qualifi cation of the residential
zones, revitalizing the urban empties and offering new
opportunities for waiting places. So, it’s explored a
new reality: the urban gardens. Associated with the
new residential complex, the gardens are destined
particularly to the leisure, working also as icon of a new
urban attitude. Sustainable. Ecological. Alive …
The project includes a leisure/culture zone that acts as
keystone between the neighbourhoods. The elasticity
of that leisure zone ground, unlike the residential
infl exibility, provides different external spaces that
report to the internal buildings by the difference of
levels. The pedestrian tours dance by the area, leading
persons discovering new spaces, perceiving the
relations between the buildings.

urban furniture - diverse uses
STREET SELLERSacademic project - urban space
Bogota, Columbia 2006
In Bogotá, a large and perhaps growing parcel of
the informal workforce operates on the city streets,
sidewalks and other public places.
Assuming this reality, and trying to support these
workers, we decided to design a complete set of
“street furniture” useful not only for sellers but also to
pedestrian and citizens, such as show tables or stands
in the shadow of the trees.
The selected area is located in the heart of the city cen-
ter, strongly invaded by street sellers. After an analysis of
buildings, street spaces and sellers position both during
day and at night time, it has been realized that the most
populated locations have not been chosen arbitrarily but
linked to established business as cinemas. Assuming
that the street sellers is a reality hardly avoidable, it was
decided to design a complete set of “street furniture”
useful not only for sellers but also to pedestrian and
citizens, such as show tables or stands in the shadow of
the trees.
Street furniture pieces, based in the previous analysis,
were strategically installed in the most populated areas
of sellers, avoiding, however, placing them close to
commercial activities or leisure areas, as squares.

ART CUBEacademic project -exhibition space
2003
As the fi rst meeting with Architecture, it was presented
to us a cube with 9X9X9 in a terrain with 30X30 that
should be dedicated to Art. Exposing art? Making it?
Thinking it? Several questions made me considering
an open space designated to the public and another
spaces separately, reserved to the artists inspirations
and thoughts. Two ateliers as independent volumes
intersect the cube defi ning the interior space. Boxes of
thoughts and creation. Two volumes defi ne an interior
exhibition space and create specifi c paths through
the art gallery. The independent volumes appear by
themselves and at the same time are somehow with the
public space. Art needs people perceptions, not just its
conception.
