EPFL Pavilions Lausanne Series

Since 2020, we have been managing the visual identity of EPFL Pavilions in Lausanne, an institution with an iconic museum building by Kengo Kuma and Associates, which is affiliated with the local technical university EPFL and exhibits and communicates scientific results, research work, and art on campus. The basic idea is to develop a graphic system that allows for direct but concise solutions for simple applications, while giving us maximum creative freedom for communicating larger exhibition projects.

To achieve this, we combine material from the works being exhibited together with graphic grids, a specific color canon, and objective 'Swiss typography! This secondary imagery forms the foundation for all visual products, from posters and guides to advertisements, website, and exhibition typography on and in the building.

The visual identity is a collaboration between Lamm & Kirch and Knoth & Renner.
