_Import GENEVA: Why Geneva?

The city of Geneva is developing an unprecedented urban transformation. The plan includes the building of 50,000 future housing units and outlines a green, compact and multipolar city model. Under the name Grands Projects Prioritaires, Geneva is creating new districts in its outlying areas, while the CEVA railway construction – the rail link with France, Cornavin – Eux Vives – Annemasse- is carried out.

The PACN 2030 has three parts:
– An introductory document “Genève Envie”
– The concept of development
– The cantonal master plan that includes the project files and a map with the whole proposed measures.

Entire documents are available here

Últimos preparativos para _Import GENEVA

Ya sólo quedan tres semanas para la inauguración de _Import GENEVA.

Gracias a la generosidad de Bulthaup Bach 7, uno de nuestros patrocinadores que nos ha brindado su espacio, hoy nos hemos reunido en Barcelona con los estudios catalanes seleccionados para definir la agenda programada y organizar los días del evento.

Ha sido una reunión muy productiva, donde hemos compartido propuestas e ideas para _Import GENEVA.

El programa de este año es muy completo y contará, como no podía ser de otra manera, con la participación de los arquitectos catalanes en la inauguración, en las visitas arquitectónicas y en el meeting entre arquitectos. Además algunos despachos se han ofrecido a abrir las puertas de sus estudios para compartir experiencias y sinergias desde sus espacios de trabajo.

Os dejamos con algunas fotografías del día de hoy.
