Core Design and Research Studio I (EPFL)

VVZ CR n/a

Last Updated: 2026-06-01 11:31:20

Abstract

The Core Studio reflects on “transition” in its ecological, social, and economic dimensions, developing transcalar design in real territories. It explores diverse urban conditions to manage complex habitats and proposes counterprojects—spaces for new systems and a society of coexistence.

Objective

By constructing “counter spaces” with students, beyond the problem-solving approach, the Core Studio will allow to systematically analyze and practice the set of “paradigm shifts” required by design for ecological and social transition to accommodate various practices of mobility, conservation, repair, regeneration, transformation, production and maintenance.

Content

Weekly design studio, feedback sessions, critics.
