Congratulations to the Design Studio 2025 participants!
Design Studio 2025 concluded last Friday, after a full day of presentations to representatives of the Canton of Geneva and the City of Geneva, as well as a jury composed of architects and city specialists.
Congratulations to the teams who approached the Plainpalais-Place des Augustins neighborhood through the lens of resources, lifestyles, and living organisms! Their research and work will be the subject of a publication of recommendations submitted to the Urban Planning Office of the Canton of Geneva, followed by a public presentation next November.
