The exhibition “Pisé – Tradition and Potential” created at the EPFL Lausanne, was displayed in the exhibition space of Archizoom at EPFL Lausanne, the library at Sitterwerk St. Gallen, the ‘Ziegeleimuseum’ in Cham and the ‘Baumuster-Centrale’ in Zurich. A publication documenting the research results was published at the publishing house ‘Triest’ in 2019.
