How can we make the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum a place of life, open and warm, in the heart of the urban district of the Nations? How can the site better respond to the needs of a large public? How can the Museum be affirmed as a place of anchorage rather than a place of passage? These are the questions that led the Museum and the Atelier de la conception de l'espace (Alice) of the EPFL to look differently at the exterior and interior reception areas of the Museum. The result: a series of installations designed and realized by 110 future architects proposes new uses to be experimented in real life.

With "Les jardins du Musée", the Musée once again associates itself with research expertise and asserts itself as a platform of opportunity for young talent. The architectural interventions reflect the approach implemented by the Alice laboratory: questioning and occupying public spaces in everyday contexts. With a proven pedagogy: weaving links with the landscape, its soil, its topography and its vegetation to better understand the impact of the architectural gesture on its environment.
