Chattez avec Graph Search
Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.
AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
Urbanization and public transport infrastructure coordination has become one of the leading principles of sustainable urban growth and mobility transition. This paper proposes a critical reflection on the implementation of the Transit-Oriented Development ...

Understanding visual complexity of urban environments may improve urban design strategies and limit visual pollution due to advertising, road signage, telecommunication systems and machinery. This paper aims at quantifying visual complexity specifically in ...
For decades, hosting mega-events in the present place has been considered as a strategy to boost the future urban landscape. More recently, however, the re-use of the city fabric’s past heritage has become central rather than the increasing urbanisation of ...
The title of the project is From “Hortus Conclusus” to Tranquility Space in the City. By taking inspiration from the form, materials, and elements of medieval monasteries, the aim is to explore how to create physical and spiritual spaces of tranquility in ...
Studies on urban environmental quality are evolving emphasizing the need for policy response concerning the enactment of environmental regulations to attain sustainable development goals (SDGs), mainly target 13. Over the years, the concerns to improve urb ...
The thesis explores a concept or rather a figure, that of horizontality, in its relations with the contemporary urbanized space and the paradigms of its design. It does so by acknowledging the constructive role of figures of speech and metaphors in spatial ...
This book draws together classic and contemporary texts on the “Horizontal Metropolis” concept. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, it explores various theoretical, methodological and political implications of the Horizontal Metropolis hypothesis. Assemb ...
The Swiss habitat – buildings and related mobility – is facing multiple wicked problems that can only be solved together, such as excessive energy and climate impact, high material use with low circularity, accelerating urban sprawl and ecosystem destructi ...
The way public spaces are designed reflects the period in which they were created. However, in our globalized world of experience and images the desire for uniqueness tends to achieve the opposite: increasingly, designers of open spaces resort to the same ...
In this article, we consider the role of landscape as support for an alternative urban mobility scheme and how architecture can help foster a transition towards a low-carbon system. From that point of departure, we trace the genealogical origins of the ter ...
