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.

Today is December 6th, the 17th anniversary of the shooting at L'École Polytechnique Montréal, the School of Engineering at the University of Montréal. White ribbons are worn on this day to remember the fourteen women who were horribly killed by a crazed gunman in Montreal.
Many good people have suffered lasting effects from the shocking events of that evening: students who were terribly injured while attending a regular night of classes; those who witnessed innocent young lives tragically come to an end, and now must live with those painful memories; parents and family of the women who died now dealing with the incomprehensible empty place in their lives; the teachers and instructors who were helpless to prevent the attack; the police and emergency services who arrived inadequately prepared to stop the attack any sooner; and a city that was forever changed in how it understood violence against women, violence against society as a whole.
The candle in this photo was lit to remember those who died, but more importantly, those who still live so that none of us forgets. The pin that holds the ribbon was given to me by a police constable from the Montreal Urban Community Police Force. For many years I have been a volunteer involved in crime prevention and community policing, and I will always be thankful to our brave and valiant peace officers who serve and protect lives everyday.
With this candle, I say a prayer in memory of all those who were sadly affected by the tragedy of December 6, 1989, and for all those who have since become victims of violent crime.

Solar Impulse is a Swiss long-range solar powered aircraft project being undertaken at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. The project eventually hopes to achieve the first circumnavigation of the Earth by a piloted fixed-wing aircraft using only solar power. The project is led by Swiss psychiatrist and aeronaut Bertrand Piccard, who co-piloted the first balloon to circle the world non-stop, and Swiss businessman André Borschberg.
Piccard initiated the Solar Impulse project in 2003. By 2009, he had assembled a multi-disciplinary team of 50 specialists from six countries, assisted by about 100 outside advisers. The project is financed by a number of private companies. The four main partners are Deutsche Bank, Omega SA, Solvay, and Schindler. Other partners include Bayer MaterialScience, Altran, Swisscom and Swiss Re (Corporate Solutions). Other supporters include Clarins, Semper, Toyota, BKW and STG. The EPFL, the European Space Agency (ESA) and Dassault have provided additional technical expertise, while Bay Area based SunPower provided the aircraft's photovoltaic cells.

The coast of Belleville, 1868.
Born into a family originally from Pleyben, in Finistère in Brittany, Octave Penguilly L’Haridon enrolled at the Ecole Polytechnique in 1831. He rapidly combined his military career with training as an artist under the painter Charlet, without abandoning his duties as an officer and went on to become Director of the Musée de l’Artillerie in 1854. The painter exhibited works at the Salon from 1835 to 1870. Although he enjoyed portraying historical subjects in armour, both on canvas and in illustration, he is known today above all as one of the first and most original champions of the Breton landscape.
This originality earned him the admiration of Baudelaire in his reviews of the Salon, an enthusiasm which was shared by Théophile Gautier: “Far from paths trod by man, along deserted bays, and in creeks known only to seagulls and kittiwakes, he [Octave Penguilly L’Haridon] goes in search of rocks with strange and monstrous shapes, bizarrely jagged horizons, blue-green and cerulean seas. With the exactitude of a daguerreotype, he reproduces these locations in a scrupulously realistic fashion. You might think they came from the moon or Mars, they are so different from the sights one is accustomed to" (Abécédaire for the Salon of 1861, p 305).
With its rocky aspect and amazing composition containing a minimum amount of sky, this view of the Normandy coast at Belleville (Seine-Maritime) painted in 1868 is evocative of the almost fantastical world of the artist’s finest paintings. The marine landscape was presented at the Salon of 1869 (Côtes de Belleville, n° 1895) along with another variation on the theme of cliffs (The Spoonbills, n° 1894, acquired by the State and sent to the Musée des Beaux-Arts in La Rochelle) and is one of the last masterpieces by the artist, who died in 1870.
