Rolex Learning Center
A wave-shaped building by SANAA at EPFL in Lausanne, with undulating floors and circular courtyards. A must-see for architecture fans.
The Rolex Learning Center opened in 2010, designed by Pritzker Prize winners Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa of SANAA. The entire building is a single undulating concrete slab with no interior partitions. The floors rise and fall with the slope, and more than ten circular courtyards are cut into it. It serves as the library and learning center of the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and is open to the public for free visits (please keep quiet). Take metro M1 to EPFL station.
