Luca Pattaroni graduated in sociology and now works at the
Laboratoire de Sociologie Urbaine (EPFL) and is a member of the
Groupe de Sociologie Politique et Morale at Ecole des Hautes Etudes
en Sciences Sociales (GSPM/EHESS). He has been a visiting scholar
at Columbia University (New York) and guest lecturer at the Federal
University of Fluminense (Brazil) in 2011. His research and
publications focus on urban and cultural policy, housing, social
movements, the development of new ways of life, as well as, more
broadly, typical issues in contemporary cities. He specialises in
mixed methods as well as political and sociological theory and
attempts to provide a nuanced analysis of different ways of life
co-existing in a pluralist context, while investigating the
political and moral issues inherent to establishing a shared social
life.
Jacques Kaufmann (1954) opened his current studio in France, just
over the border from Geneva, in 1988. He has taught at the Ecole
d'arts appliqués of Vevey since 1995 and was appointed head of the
ceramics department in 1996. His work in China since 1999 has
enabled him to contribute to exhibition exchanges between Europe
and China. In 2008, Kaufmann joined a group at Hepia, the
University for Engineering, Architecture, and Landscape
Architecture in Geneva, to conduct research on 'green' walls on a
city-wide scale. He is the current president of the International
Academy of Ceramics.
