Rolex Learning Center EFPL - Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne - architects SANAA - Sejima and Nishizawa -
The Rolex Learning Center will function as a laboratory for learning, a library with 500,000 volumes and an international cultural hub for EPFL, open to both students and the public. Spread over one single fluid space of 20,000 sq metres, it provides a seamless network of services, libraries, information gathering, social spaces, spaces to study, restaurants, cafes and beautiful outdoor spaces. It is a highly innovative building, with gentle slopes and terraces, undulating around a series of internal ‘patios’, with almost invisible supports for its complex curving roof, which required completely new methods of construction.

Monument to the memory of the victims of the tragedy at the École Polytechnique de Montréal, Nef pour quatorze reines takes over the entire place and suggests a pause. Fourteen mounds surmounted by a band of black granite bear the name of each of the victims: Geneviève Bergeron, Hélène Colgan, Nathalie Croteau, Barbara Daigneault, Anne-Marie Edward, Maud Haviernick, Barbara Klucznik-Widajewicz, Maryse Laganière, Maryse Leclair, Anne -Marie Lemay, Sonia Pelletier, Michèle Richard, Annie St-Arneault and Annie Turcotte. The mounds are spread over the entire surface of this long and narrow space, thus encouraging passers-by to stroll along this path of reflection and meditation.
The surnames and first names of the 14 women take shape in the void of the letters – symbol of absence – and through the contrast between stone and stainless steel – evoking respectively commemoration and the engineering profession. Engaged in a slow reading of the letters, the spectator gradually reconstitutes the identity of the victims as so many ways of bringing back from oblivion the traces of a sensitive memory. Through this individual experience of the reader, the work subsumes the identity and destiny of these women under important collective issues such as non-violence, respect and memory.
“Our work is a memorial that integrates the site and the monument in the same commemorative gesture in memory of the 14 young women. The evocation of the disappeared becomes a site and the site becomes a place of memory. This memorial thus invites walkers to a form of communication that is both visual and spiritual, which places a commemorative event and a place of meditation and contemplation at the center of a landscape. 1” (1999)
