Teaching & PhD

Courses

Studio BA3 (Truwant et Rodet)

AR-201(an)

Adaptive reuse turns existing sites into resources for reimagining how we live. In Renens, students will explore renovation and transformation to design new forms of living, creating domestic typologies that grow from existing structures and contexts.

Studio BA4 (Truwant et Rodet)

AR-202(an)

In the 2nd semester, we will continue exploring renovation in Renens, focusing on learning spaces. How can we move beyond rigid school standards to imagine reversible, modular, and open places where education unfolds in multiple forms?
