- Site-specific cases
The architecture is articulated through a programmatic approach. The new program has a spatial impact on site and provides a possible continuation of entanglements of three strangely interweaved Genevan stories:
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein story
NSA surveillance story
Family de Rothschild story
A flock of sheep connects the highly isolated estates of International Geneva by circulating between them.
The circulating flock is recognized as an urban event that has an architectonic impact on multiple channels of virtual spaces as well. Through this, the urban space, which today is weakly articulated and isolated from the city of Geneva becomes more popular for Genevans and tourists and not only for members of International Geneva.
Extended research:

Sheep are kept on rotating pastures, called paddocks. There are 19 paddocks.
The sheep graze four days on each paddock, five days a month they move to the city.
Over the year, the flock is hosted by the UN, the U.S. Mission, the Rothschild Family, among others.
Every last weekend of the month the flock and I leave the Jardin des Nations and process into the city: These are the Weekends of transhumance
Geneva! City of Pastures!
