Drawing Structures - Docta Manus

AR-408

The Unit will introduce drawing as the key tool for communication between engineers and architects, and as a mediator between construction and the student. Through drawing, we will analyze selected structural projects that embody an exemplary interaction between space and structure.

Making structural logic

PENS-201

The ENAC week provides students the possibility to engage into an iterative process of testing and exploring structural and material limits and possibilities through the collaborative design and construction of structural elements in folded steel. The ENAC week will take place at EPFL Fribourg.

TRC LC3 Research Platform Fribourg

PENS-308

The UE TRC-LC3 Research Platform Fribourg will develop prototypes of structural elements in textile reinforced concrete (TRC) and Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3) concrete that allow the continuation of the TRC prototype pavilion started at EPFL in 2019. The UE will take place in EPFL Fribourg.

UE G : Drawing Spaces

AR-424

The proposed UE Drawing Spaces is conceived as a long-term research and teaching series investigating the foundations of architectural space through analytical drawing practices.
