Abstract

Increased efficiency in the design and construction of standardization is often accompanied by a loss of perception of the site. L’enfance du Pli (The Fold’s Childhood) is a sculpturelandscape, monumental and elongated in Boudines, Geneva. In a form of interpretating the force that spawned landscapes of the Jura Massif (Jura folds), the project challenges the principle of modern architecture and responds to the ignorance of the pre-existing landscape that presided over the realization of the Meyrin Park.
