Sunny Memories Opening, Center for Architecture, New York, May 16, 2010
Sunny Memories, a travelling exhibition from EPFL and ECAL Lab, explors the fusion of solar technology and industrial design. It is on display at the Center for Architecture in New York until June 5, 2010. The exhibit is a joint venture of four international design schools: Ecole Cantonale d’Art de Lausanne,California College of the Arts (San Francisco), Royal College of Art (London), Ecole Nationale Superieure de Creation Industrielle(Paris). The students’ projects aim to showcase the integration of photovoltaics in design. They are inspired by the new generation of colored, transparent and flexible solar cells invented at EPFL by Professor Michael Graetzel.
To celebrate the opening of the exhibit in New York, the Centre for Architectur organized a panel discussion on the future of Solar Energy in Design that gathered Nicolas Henchoz (EPFL+ECAL Lab), Yves Behar (CCA), Paul Thompson (RCA) and Anna Dyson (MateriaLAB at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute).
Sunny Memories will be shown at the Laboratory at Harvard (Cambridge, MA) from October 25 to November 5, 2010.
Watch our interview with Nicolas Henchoz (EPFL+ECAL Lab) outlining the concept of the exhibition.
