Teaching Unit SKIL 2018

M&A Mycelium Design & Architecture

Develop a mushroom-based material for various applications. After tests and research for the knowledge of the material, create a variant by ourselves and then apply it in different fields.

Showerloop

The Showerloop is an open-source cyclic shower developed by Jason Selvarajan that recovers, filters and reuses water in real time. It requires only 10L of water per shower, instead of 100L on average for a 10-minute shower at a flow rate of 10L/min.

Strato-Parachute

Every day, several hundred weather balloons are released into the world. After the ascent, the balloon explodes and the measuring instruments land in sometimes unaffordable places. Our project is about a way to redirect the instruments during the descent.

Four-forge

This project aims to rethink the use of coffee grounds as well as the reuse of plastic and aluminium.

Bétar-en-Guiton

Bétar-en-Guiton is an electric guitar made from concrete. The challenge of this project was mainly to make a timber formwork precise and robust enough. Despite a two-stage casting, our prototype proved to be acoustically convincing.

EPFriends

Dedicated to EPFL students (initially), EPFriends would like to be a website allowing meetings and discussions with other students with the same interests.

Wesh Skis

The goal of this project is to develop a new form of skiing that presents new technical properties (pop) in order to bring a new feeling when skiing.
