18.03-05.06.2026Opening Monday 17 March, 6.30pmDiscussion between Arduino Cantàfora and Luca OrtelliThis exhibition explores the vast field of graphic representation in architecture through fifteen years of teaching architectural representation at EPFL at the turn of the 2000s. It presents around a hundred paintings on wood, didactic works produced between 1997 and 2007 in the teaching units of the painter Arduino Cantàfora. They suggest a possible way of making, between thought and actio, where drawing and painting structure a concept and become an essential language for expressing the founding idea of a project. Despite the transition to digital technology, the exhibition conveys the conviction that the artisanal culture of drawing and painting continues to play a fundamental and indispensable role in training architects.An exhibition produced in collaboration with the LAPIS laboratoryat the EPFL’s Institute of Architecture and Urban Planning,  Nicola Braghieri, Filippo Fanciotti and Emy Amstein
