I would have loved to see the EPFL to be actually like this. The two strong axes (public-private, NS-EW) clarify all the system, giving a fierce formal attitude to the project that earns in terms of coherence and strenght. More than that the deployment of the departments forms a grid made out of courts, suggesting the possibility of an infinite development but still an internal intimacy at human scale.
