Our cities are dense with material constructions, but also dense with tacit knowledge, memories, and visions, all of which are embodied in its physical stratification. In this context, landscape, as a complex and embodied arrangement of matter and uses, an entanglement of ecology and culture, can function as scaffolding to support the cohabitation of new urban experiences.

An open-ended, modular, and adaptive approach, informed by a principle of parallel infrastructural interventions and capable of incorporating new actors, temporalities and layers onto the landscape through a series of vectors and orientations is advanced.

These vectors function as filters, opening up a field of possibilities , and allowing multiple figures and configurations to emerge. In this conceptual framework, the drawing offers a common ground that echoes and enacts the ones shaped by the living networks of the city.

It is through this commonality that ALICE has articulated a series of pedagogical, research and design projects that range from multimodal landscape infrastructures to 1:1 built interventions distributed throughout the territory. Bringing together the work of researchers, teachers, citizens, politicians and more than 200 students in a transcalar collective vision for the ecological transition of Grand Genève.
