Laboratory

The Laboratory of Elementary Architecture and Typological Studies (EAST) at EPFL focuses on research-through-building projects, particularly on reuse strategies of disaffected or demolished structures. EAST designs and tests 1:1 prototypes, emphasizing typology and innovation in material, construction, form, and function. The studio also engages in collaborative projects, such as the A Neuve Twin Pavilions with the Swiss Alpine Club, aiming to rescue and reactivate historical alpine huts. Additionally, EAST organizes the 5x3 lecture series, inviting architects from different European countries to present their practical approaches and projects, providing insights into various working methods and the formation of architectural offices.
