'Go field and towers' is the result of the conversations that occurred in studios taught by Guillaume Othenin-Girard and Nigel Peake between 2012-2014 as part of the first-year course in architectural design directed by the Atelier de la Conception de l’Espace (ALICE) at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL).
