As part of ” the week of all is possible” (26-30 October 2015 ), 18 HEAD students worked with Youri Kravtchenko and Lawrence Breitling, EPFL architects, on the realization of a concept for the scenography of the TEDGlobal conference. Students, mostly from the Bachelor Interior Architecture, but also Master Space and Communication, Bachelor Visual Communication and Jewellery Design had a week to develop a concept : Rocky.
