The highlight of this year’s return
from summer break is without doubt
the university’s new buliding on
the western outskirts of Lausanne,
Switzerland. An old industrial complex
converted by architect Bernard
Tschumi, the building more than
doubles the floor space available to
the school (approx. 150,000 ft 2 ).
Already working in close collaboration
with various industries and producers,
the Industrial Design Department
of ECAL presents the ice-cream
cone, designed by Delphine Frey,
2nd year student. This new and
exclusive product was elaborated
together with French porcelaine
company Bernardaud in Limoges
and will be available during several
ice-cream parties throughout
Design Miami ⁄ 07.
