One of the most recent buildings of the price winning architects is the Rolex Learning Centre of the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale in Lausanne (Switzerland). This remarkable shell type structure was engineered by BG Ingénieurs Conseils (Lausanne), the winner of the Nemetschek Engineering User Contest 2009 (category 5).
The jury quoted:” the structure is an assembly of complex thin concrete shells providing a visually impressive functional arrangement requiring careful analysis at all stages during the construction. Scia Engineer was used both for non-linear and dynamic analysis and to simulate the removal of formwork stuts. The result is a facility that blends into the landscape.”
We express our congratulations to BG Ingénieurs Conseils for their success in supporting the prestigious Pritzker Price
