Structural Xploration Lab, Epfl

uniting architecture and structural design, we forge new ways of designing load-bearing systems that are less material-intensive and reusable over multiple use cycles, hence contributing to the adoption of an industrial circular economy by the construction sector. we also devise new computer means to enhance designer-machine collaborations at the early stages of the architectural/structural design process. our research and education activities are driven by sustainability challenges, rooted in history, embracing complexity, and boosted by digital technology.
