🔹Save the date! New Exhibition at Archizoom 🔹
Do Robots Dream of Construction Sites?
09.09-05.12.2026

Opening Tuesday 8 September

What if robots didn’t replace us, but worked alongside us? Robots are capable of assembling, analysing, experimenting and learning from their mistakes. Could they take on construction work without replacing human labour?

Research carried out by the CRCL – Lab for Creative Computation at EPFL explores forms of collaboration between humans and machines that departs from the traditional promise of automation. It opens the way to more inclusive building sites and non-standardised, more environmentally friendly architecture that goes beyond the mere logic of replacement and productivity.

NEW PODCAST! N°28 – Stefana Parascho 🤖🏗️

Stefana Parascho is a researcher and architect, director of the CRCL–Lab for Creative Computation at EPFL. Her work lies at the intersection of architecture, robotics, and computational design. She adresses a central question: What if robots didn’t replace us, but worked alongside us? Can robotic processes evolve into genuinely collaborative practices that enhance the experience of construction work?

Retour sur la 25è Nuit des musées ✨

Samedi dernier, la région lausannoise a vibré au rythme de la 25e la Nuit des musées. Une édition anniversaire qui aura rassemblé les publics autour d’une programmation foisonnante et festive, fidèle à l’esprit d’un événement qui, depuis un quart de siècle, invite à découvrir les musées autrement.

29 institutions de la région se sont unies pour offrir dix heures mémorables, les disciplines se sont croisées et les activités insolites se sont succédées, chacun.e composant son propre parcours, de manière ludique, au gré de ses envies.

Dans les coups de cœur du public, on notera notamment un concert de chants d’insectes au Jardin botanique, le loto animé par des humoristes sur l’esplanade du Prieuré à Pully ; la performance No Plan B de la compagnie @adn.dialect , sur l’esplanade de Plateforme 10 ; l’initiation à la calligraphie japonaise au Musée romain; l’atelier de confection de masques à l’Espace des Inventions ou encore la découverte des trésors de l’AMPA à la Blécherette.

Sans oublier le pop-up NDM, où le public pouvait découvrir une rétrospective des 24 dernières éditions ainsi qu’une installation de photographies d’ @alpaley .

La libre circulation en transports publics a permis à des milliers de curieuses et de curieux de voyager facilement d’un univers à l’autre.

Merci aux musées participants qui, grâce à leur imagination, leur engagement et leur générosité, ont contribué au fil des ans à positionner cet événement comme un rendez-vous culturel incontournable.

Merci à nos 4 clubs partenaires (@leromandie , @le_bourg_ , @jumeaux.club et @dclublausanne ), grâce auxquels les noctambules ont pu prolonger l’expérience jusqu’au petit matin.

Et enfin, un grand merci à vous d’avoir été si nombreuses et nombreux à la 25e Nuit des musées de Lausanne et Pully : la fréquentation est en hausse d’environ 6% par rapport à l’an passé !

Nous vous donnons d’ores et déjà rendez-vous le samedi 25 septembre 2027 pour la 26e Nuit des musées!

NO/NC est une nouvelle œuvre d’AATB qui met en scène un essaim de palissades gonflables se déplaçant de manière autonome dans l’espace afin de former des structures temporaires et des barricades, empêchant les visiteuses et les visiteurs de circuler et de traverser librement l’espace.

Les murs de l’installation prennent une dimension presque fantomatique. Ils changent sans cesse, se déplacent continuellement. On dirait qu’aujourd’hui ils possèdent une volonté propre, une forme d’autonomie, leur propre logique et leur propre instinct de survie.

Cette installation intervient dans le cadre de l'exposition Do Robots Dream of Construction Sites? à Archizoom (visite guidée de cette expo le mardi 13 octobre à 17h30).

📅 Vernissage mardi 13 octobre à 18h30 (🎶 avec concert de Julian Sartorius à 19h)

Connu pour son approche inédite, ludique et hautement virtuose de son instrument, le batteur Julian Sartorius propose RLLRLRLLRRLRLRLRLLRLRLR, une partition conçue pour un ensemble de percussionnistes où “R” signifie main droite, et “L” signifie main gauche.

Joué en continu par l’ensemble pendant toute la durée de la pièce, le motif évolue sous l’impulsion de Julian Sartorius, lorsque celui-ci adapte l’instrumentation utilisée (ajout, substitution ou suppression d’objets ou d’instruments).

Julian Sartorius donne également un concert en solo le soir à 19h, dans le cadre du vernissage de l’installation NO/NC (Normally open/ Normally close) co-réalisée avec Archizoom.

🎶 Deux concerts:
📅 Mardi 13 octobre à 12h (durée 1h) et à 19h (durée 30mn)
📍 EPFL hall du bâtiment SG

Only a few weeks left to visit the exhibition « From the Cèdres to Dorigny, building the Architecture School » at Archizoom!

Join us for a guided tour on Tuesday 22 September at 5:30 p.m., followed by an EPFL School Lecture by Elli Mosayebi of EMI Architek*innen.

About the exhibition
Focusing on architectural projects, kept in the Archives of modern construction, the exhibition Des Cèdres à Dorigny tells the story of the creation and evolution of the Lausanne School of Architecture. From its beginnings within the EPUL to its integration into the EPFL campus, this historical journey puts into perspective the conditions of architectural education, its relationship with engineering, and the role of archives in building an institutional memory.

SCHOOL LECTURE 1/6
Tuesday, September 8, Foyer SG, 18:15

LEARNING VOL.1

STEFANA PARASCHO + AUDE BILLARD
Do Robots Dream of Construction Sites?

What if robots didn’t replace people, but worked alongside us to conceive, plan and build architecture? While digitalisation is reshaping the built environment, most efforts have centered on automation and substitution, with little real impact on how we design or build. The talk argues that adaptability - not automation - is the key to sustainable architectural and construction impact. It highlights autonomous systems that adjust structural and spatial strategies in real time, and human-robot interaction models that keep human judgment central.

Stefana Parascho is an architect, researcher, and educator exploring the intersection of architecture, robotics, and computational design. She is an Assistant Professor at EPFL and head of the Lab for Creative Computation. Her work focuses on human-robot collaboration, robotic construction, and accessible digital tools. She holds a PhD from ETH Zurich and taught at Princeton University.

Aude Billard is a full professor and head of the LASA laboratory at EPFL, and a pioneer in machine learning and human-robot interaction. She is President-elect of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society and an IEEE Fellow, with numerous prestigious awards including the Intel Teaching Award and IEEE RAS Distinguished Award.
