(09) Design your town

Workshop presented by: Haute Ecole du Paysage, d'Ingénierie et d'Architecture de Genève

Languages: French and English

How can we rethink the spaces developed by humans?  

Let's take a look at the spatial layout of built-up areas, agricultural production zones and natural ecosystems: to create functional living spaces, we need to understand how these different elements can combine and interact in positive or negative ways.

A model showing these different areas is used as a basis for guided reflection by people trained in the fields of agriculture, town and country planning and the environment.

Each group taking part in the activity is divided into three discussion teams, which take it in turns to deal with these different aspects.

Workshop led by HEPIA's Landscape Architecture, Agronomy and Nature Management programmes
