Three public spaces at the intersection of science and art

 | 
The new ArtLab building, designed by Kengo Kuma, is being inaugurated today at EPFL. Three distinct spaces are united below a 250 meter long slate roof, each dedicated to fostering the dialogue between science and culture. Federal councilor Alain Berset will be present at the inauguration ceremony along with Patrick Aebischer, president of EPFL, and the partners of the project. Today, EPFL propels a new field of research. The ArtLab building and its associated research programs present a variety of ways in which art and science can engage in a fruitful dialogue. The building is the work of Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, who won the competition to design it in 2012. Its construction, which began in August 2014, was carried out by the general contractor Marti Construction SA.
