In this detailed SketchUp tutorial, we’ll explore how to model the iconic Rolex Learning Center—a masterpiece of parametric design by SANAA Architects (Kazuyo Sejima + Ryue Nishizawa) located in Lausanne, Switzerland. Whether you're an architecture student, a SketchUp enthusiast, or a design lover, this video will help you understand how to recreate complex curved forms and topography-inspired architecture using basic and advanced SketchUp tools. We’ll cover everything from the organic flow of the structure to the perforated voids, and show you how to maintain clean geometry for presentation or rendering workflows. 🏛️ About the Rolex Learning Center – Fun Architectural Facts: Designed by the Pritzker Prize-winning firm SANAA, the Rolex Learning Center was completed in 2010 and is part of the EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) campus. The structure is famous for its undulating, single-level floor plate that flows like a continuous landscape—no traditional floors or walls here! The building has no stairs. That’s right—it uses gentle slopes instead of steps, making it highly accessible and visually seamless. Despite its openness, it integrates diverse functions like libraries, study areas, cafés, labs, and social zones—an architectural representation of freedom in learning. The design required innovative structural techniques. The huge spans were achieved using post-tensioned concrete slabs, and it was one of the first of its kind to be tested in wind tunnels like a bridge. The Rolex Learning Center was also designed with environmental efficiency in mind: its thin roof allows for passive daylighting and minimal structural interference. From a conceptual standpoint, the building represents a "horizontal campus"—one that breaks down the hierarchy between teacher and student, form and function. 💡 Why This Model Matters: This project is perfect for anyone interested in parametric architecture, organic forms, and site-responsive design. Modeling it helps improve your understanding of freeform surfaces, transitions between void and solid, and advanced design expression in SketchUp without needing complex software like Rhino or Grasshopper.
