Habitat Research Center HRC

Atlas de Paysages de Paris, © HRC 2023

The Habitat Research Center is an interdisciplinary research platform that aims to strengthen synergies at EPFL around a major theme: inhabiting and transforming the built environment in the era of climate change. The platform seeks to foster collaborations among EPFL’s ENAC laboratories according to their research domains. By bringing together scientific expertise from multiple laboratories with diverse research specialties, HRC focuses on understanding, analyzing, and reimagining the concept of HABITAT to address the complex challenges posed by the contemporary socio-ecological transition.
