Description
The International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) invites staff and neighbours to participate in a landscape project that will reshape the exterior space of its HQ in Petit-Saconnex. The participatory process just started and will stretch over several months during which a series of workshops, discussions, exploratory walks and exhibitions will take place.

The HQ's plot comprises a lawn with a historical chalet and an Ecopoint; an urban forest with rich vegetation; a rose garden; the terrace of the cafeteria; and a street front. At the moment, these different spaces do not have a common concept. The intention of the IFRC is to connect them all while preserving and enhancing the green cover. The project will explore ways of keeping the grounds open to the public while ensuring the well-being and safety of its staff and guests.

The future park is seen as a tribute to the historical presence of the IFRC in the neighbourhood and city of Geneva. The project also aims at exploring the pedestrian path between the IFRC and the ICRC and the International Museum of the Red Cross and Red Crescent.
