Amplifier for Art, Science and Society

EPFL Pavilions is a place for exhibitions and encounters at the heart of the campus of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne. At the intersection of art and science, it opens up new perspectives on the challenges of our contemporary society, and positions itself as a place for experimentation and dialogue between scientific innovation, artistic research and emerging technologies.

EPFL Pavilions' building designed by Japanese architect Kengo Kuma.
