Description
The project addresses the challenge of separating an open urban space and a historical valley under a permanent status agreement, based on the Geneva Accord proposed border (2003). The project proposes a path for separation based on the local topography and existing elements on site. It demonstrates a case in which a close-up architectural/ landscape planning look at border paths can assist creating corrections to draft proposals and sensitively bring them in line with the urban landscape.Fact Sheet
