"The project aims to bring nature into the daily life of people and link it to the social and cultural fabric of the city. We propose large ‘planted trailers’ that move around and animate urban life during summer. At the same time they bring cool and pleasant spaces to meet and play. The trailers are conceived as ‘bioramas’ that are inspired by different landscape typologies of the Geneva region."
