Durabilis award - Holistic Design of Lausanne Eco-District
© 2012 EPFL
Students of architecture Héloïse Sierro and Caroline Naef have received the Durabilis award for their holistic design project of an eco-district in Lausanne, developed in the framework of the Teaching Unit "Urban Districts, Infrastructures and Sustainable Planning" under the guidance of Dr Jérôme Kaempf of the Solar Energy and Building Physics Laboratory.
The Durabilis Prize is awarded for EPFL and UNIL student projects that present an approach integrating the dimensions of sustainable development - environment, society and economy.
The project of an eco-district chosen by the two students is highly topical in the current context of Lausanne town planning as the City clearly targets sustainable development of its constructable zones.
