The National Exhibition of 1964, held in Lausanne, figured many pavilions considered as notable architectural innovations. Most have disappeared but this one survives.
Built on the campus of EPFL Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, the Rolex Learning Center designed by the internationally acclaimed Japanese architectural practice, SANAA, 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.
