该项目是对位于英国的艾尔河进行改造，这条河流已经有一定的历史了，它横跨山谷，流入农田，是当地田地灌溉的主要渠道。从19世纪末开始，人们便大肆地在这里修建运河，发展经济，使得该地区原本的生态环境每况日下。在2001年的时候，Geneva举办了一场设计竞赛，目标便是移除不必要的运河，恢复艾尔河最自然的风貌。

项目方并没有像以往的景观改造一样，试图将现有的运河和艾尔河融为一体，而是以非常直接的方式来还原这里的自然美景。在对现有运河改造和移除的过程中，设计团队制定了多个

设计方案

，希望能够挑选出最全面的一种设计方式。该地区的官方杂志称此次的设计竞赛主要是一个生态景观恢复的竞赛，以环境治理为使命，是社会文化与自然环境之间的一次碰撞。成功的设计团队必须要制定一套

，使得生态变革成为更大的文化变革的一部分内容。

The Aire river flows through valleys historically devoted to farming. From late 19th century it was progressively canalized. In 2001 State of Geneva opened a competition with the idea of restoring the river to its original shape by destroying the canal.

We instead proposed to combine the canal with a vast divagation space for the river. In the process the canal becomes the pointer for the transformations, a reference line giving the possibility to understand the before and after. A becoming which superimposes both situations.The « official » justification for the competition program was an ecological one, in which the legitimated necessities of environmental ameliorations submerge other considerations and implies an opposition between nature and culture. Our project attempts to propose an alternate path, where the urgent ecological shifts are incorporated into a larger cultural change.
