description:
The harbour of Geneva has long been the subject of reflections around its redevelopment and its relationship with the city and its extension. These reflections crystallized around the figure of a future bridge linking the two shores. By gradually discarding this idea the city nibbled the banks in a disorganized and poorly planned way. We propose to redistribute this complexity into a series of distinct and qualified segments.
By grouping existing uses, each individual element can express itself within a critical mass that can affirm the quality, impact and evidence.
