Working in a team of five on the ground, every decision had to be made quickly and collectively across languages and design backgrounds. My role was in organizing the group's ideas and leading the narrative of each day's presentation.
The riparian and wetland zones along the Cens were both the most fragile and most interesting part of the site. The goal was to protect and expand what was already there, and to understand where flooding could be embraced rather than resisted.
We walked downhill along the Cens, through meadows and into forest that felt completely wild. There was a point where you couldn't see the city at all. The path narrowed between a wall and the river. That sequence became the starting point for the design.
The Green Necklace proposes a continuous landscape corridor linking the river, the campus, and the city. Floodable spaces are treated as public assets, allowing ecological processes to structure movement and reconnect the urban fabric to the water.
