The genesis of the EPFL Rolex Learning Center (part I)
February 29, 2008
On the site of the EPFL (Ecole Poly Federale Lausanne, Switzerland) an outstanding building is being constructed since a few month. In November 2007 I started documenting the progress on site with a few photographs per week.
The idea behind the project is actually to overlay a large number of different snapshots – each of them with a very low opacity – in order to visualize the process of “growing” from a hole in the ground to the final building.
On a regular basis, I will upload another photograph, showing the actual status of the construction.
By the end of 2009 the project is supposed to be finished. We will see …

This macro image is taken using a 90mm Schneider-Kreuznach Super Angulon lens together with a Sinar F 4×5 monorail view camera. The digital end is formed by a Canon EOS 5D. The image seen here consists of three RAW images, shot consecutively with the help of the movement of the rear standard of the camera. The origonal resolution of the image is 6787 x 3001 px. The merging of the three single images was done with Photoshop CS3.

Keep on shooting
