The new B2 building is located at the northern end of the Rudolf Steiner School campus in Lausanne.

The two-storey building uses the same circulation system as Building B1, with a ramp and an external staircase. Each floor has level access from the car park and the courtyard. Continue reading LOCALARCHITECTURE

In 2016, the Lausanne ornithology club (COL: Cercle Ornithologique de Lausanne) acquired a small cabin facing Île aux Oiseaux (“Bird Island”) at Préverenges, an artificial biotope reclaimed from the lake in 2001 and now classified as an official nature reserve. Its location is connected to the natural estuary of the Venoge, a river that flows into Lake Geneva. This is one of the main stopping places for migratory waders in Switzerland, primarily due to its unique geographic situation in the axis of the Rhône valley. Birds arriving from Africa stop here before moving on to their distant summer quarters in the Arctic tundra. Continue reading LOCALARCHITECTURE
