2 new professors appointed at EPFL Fribourg

Corentin Fivet, currently a post-doctoral fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, USA, as Tenure Track Assistant Professor of Architecture and Design of Structures in the School of Architecture, Civil and Environmental Engineering (ENAC)
Corentin Fivet has wide-ranging experience in the development and application of graphically supported planning software. This allows construction aspects to be incorporated into planning right from the start, while at the same time greatly reducing the material intensity of the constructions. Corentin Fivet will work closely with the professorship held by Paolo Tombesi (see below). These two appointments strengthen EPFL's activities in the fields of technology, construction and sustainable architecture at the Fribourg site.

Paolo Tombesi, currently Professor at the University of Melbourne, Australia, as Full Professor of Construction and Architecture in the School of Architecture, Civil and Environmental Engineering (ENAC)
Paolo Tombesi is an internationally renowned academic who focuses on the relationship between the intellectual dimension of architecture and socio-technical aspects of physical construction. He adopts a comprehensive approach which considers the relevant planning and implementation processes as well as all the construction elements. Paolo Tombesi will work closely with the professorship held by Corentin Fivet (see above). These two appointments strengthen EPFL's activities in the fields of technology, construction and sustainable architecture at the Fribourg site.
