This project takes the form of a proposal for two separate routes:
• a wide, fast cycle path along a route with a gradient of never more than 5% which is connected to the network of cycle paths linking Geneva to its environs;
• a separate slower route intended mainly for pedestrians, which explores the topography of the hillside to a greater extent and links the existing parks on the site.
Where these two lines of red asphalt surmount obstacles, they metamorphose into small white metal structures (bridges, footbridges and a helical ramp).
Finally, the points where these two lines intersect with the landscape give rise to occasional contextual interventions, a series of public or recreational micro-spaces, none of which modify the existing topography.
All of this clever lexicon of lines and points stems mainly from the spirit and imagination inspired by the railway line that gives the site its character.
The Jury liked the extremely high quality of the analysis, the arguments and the submission of this original project, which is both strong in terms of its options and circumspect in terms of its interventions, yet at the same time it questions the limits imposed by the reference to the influence of the railway line in creating the landscapes of these two alternative lines.
