Jacques Ayer Director, Natural History Museum of Geneva, Geneva, Switzerland CREATIVE COLLISIONS THEME

CREATIVE COLLISIONS In a society where thoughts, words and deeds are increasingly standardised, placing different worldviews on a collision course can be a source of innovation and creativity. Collisions are not necessarily destructive: they can produce new elements, forms, knowledge and energies. 6 Science engagement offers a unique space to experiment with new creative 7 collisions between science and society, experts and amateurs, science and politics, art and science, nature and culture, science and faith, real and virtual, old and new. “Creative collisions” is a stimulating concept that can help us reinvent communication, teaching, learning, and thinking! Up to eleven sessions are taking place in parallel at any one time. To help you navigate the programme, each session is labelled with…

A walk among GENEVA MICROGUIDE history, relics and curiosities

On a hill, the Old Town of Geneva is the largest historic town in Switzerland. It was the centre of a 163 prehistoric settlement probably founded around 1,000 BC. Julius Caesar was the first to record the name “Geneva”, in connection with the Gallic War (58 BC). A walk from the Saint-Antoine car park to the Parc des Bastions / Walking time (excluding visits): 1 hour

Starting a walk in an / an underground carpark / 1 / (10 Boulevard Emile-Jaques-Dalcroze)… what’s that all about? It’s about discovering relics of historic Geneva! Take the lift, and as go up you can admire the 7 6 remains of the fortifications that protected the city in the 16th century. You arrive at the Promenade Saint-Antoine / 2 / , the platform of the ancient bastion. Head left, and take the / rue Tabazan / 3 /, named after Geneva’s last executioner (1534-1624) who lived at number 9. Enter the Old Town along the / rue Etienne-Dumont / 4 /, which used to be called the rue des Belle Filles (Pretty Girls), a hot spot in the 15th century. Incidentally, many of the road names in the Old Town refer to the trades that were 8 5 associated with them: rue des Chaudronniers (cauldron and kettle makers), rue de la Pélisserie (leather and fur merchants), place de la Taconnerie (shoemakers), etc. Head into the / Bourg-de-Four / 5 /. 9 You’ll catch a glimpse of the lake - perhaps Hervé is crossing it on a ferry even as you look… Visit the 4 Protestant / Saint-Pierre Cathedral / 6 /; its first stone was laid in 1160. You can climb the 157 steps of 2 the north tower for an unbeatable view of the city and lake or visit archaeological remains dating back 1 to the 3rd century BC. Tired? Sit down on the bench along the wall of the / Hotel-de-ville/ 7 /, but be aware… the judges used to sit there to pronounce death sentences. Spring in Geneva is heralded by the appearance of the / first horse chestnut leaf / 8 /. While you’re there, check out the longest bench in 3 the world (120m). Finish the walk in the relaxing / Parc des Bastions / 9 / just below, home to the Nat- ural History Museum until 1966. The Protestant reformers dominate the park from high on their wall, a reminder that Geneva is also the City of Calvin. 8 Time to get on board

Board a ferry boat and travel from Geneva’s first steam car to the exhibition “Animal Beauty From GENEVA MICROGUIDE taxidermy to sculptor” by three taxidermists! Sky, water and bronze; a gentle breeze of freedom. Lake Geneva divides the city into the left bank, around Eaux-Vives, and the right bank, Pâquis. On this itinerary you will plunge into different epochs and events that have marked the city. A walk 7 from the Natural History Museum to the History of Science Museum in the Perle du Lac park / Walking time (excluding visits): 1h30

Before setting off from the / Museum / 1 /, don’t miss the first steam car in Geneva – the three-wheeler built by Thury-Nussberger (SIP – 1881). Taking the rue Terrassière, look out for the Clarté apartment building / 2 / designed by the Swiss architect Le Corbusier in 1930 and the attractive façade of / num- ber 44 / 3 /, created by Eugène Cavalli in 1903-1904. Leaving the Belle Époque you enter Eaux-Vives, 164 and encounter Heinrich Richard Reimann’s Alphabet painting in the library at 2 rue Sillem / 4 /. Then make for / quai Gustave Ador / 5 / to admire the famous Pierres de Niton, huge glacial erratics used to 165 indicate the water level of the lake. From there, board one of the iconic / ferry boats / 6 / going to the right bank, and take a moment to savour the bea uty of the landscape, the cry of the birds, the lapping of the water… Maybe Mont Blanc will be visible in the distance. Or maybe the spirit of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1816), closer to hand. Once ashore, head for the Perle du Lac along the quai de Mont-Blanc and then the quai Wilson. Spare a thought for the sad story of Sissi, the Empress who was assassinated a stone’s throw from here. Take a good look at the historic / Palais Wilson / 7 /, once the home of the League of Nations (1920-1936), where the Geneva Conventions of 21 July 1954 were signed at the end of the French Indochina War. Then, at last, enter the marvellous / Villa Bartholoni / 8 /, built in 1830, to discover scientific instruments used by Genevan savants of the 18th and 19th century. And conclude 5 with the astonishing sculptures created by three taxidermists sculptors: Yvan Larsen, François Chape- lain-Midy and Thierri Jaccoud. A creative collision! 6 4

a day and go 167 make a splash

After a full day networking, reconnect with your true self and its natural surroundings. From BFM to the tip of the Junction / Walking time (excluding dive in the river): 20 minutes

From / BFM / 1 /, walk past / L’Usine / 2 / (The Factory) and follow the riverbank. The former gold processing factory has been for nearly three decades the fierce flagship of the local cultural rebellion. Bar, concert venue, gallery, playhouse, movie theatre, artist residency and workshop all at once, it’s now an established fixture of Geneva nightlife. Continue onto / Quai du Rhône / 3 / until you get closer to the / Pont-Sous-Terre bridge / 4 /. Take the underpass (much safer) and enjoy the sudden change of scenery: the landscape opens from the industrial setting of Rue de la Coulouvrenière to the lush vege- tation of the steep / St-Jean’ cliffs / 5 /, with the emerald water of the river Rhone (and the numerous locals relaxing there) just waiting for you to make a splash. Yes, you can jump right here in the river if you dare, but watch out, don’t miss the last exit (ladder) on your left! Back to the shore, get a drink at the seasonal bar A la Pointe, and reach the very tip of the / Junction / 6 / to take a look at the frigid muddy waters of the river Arve merging into the translucent Rhone. Altogether it’s a 20 min walk (swim not included), so you have just enough time to listen to the hypnotic and beautifully textured Harlem River song by Kevin Morby twice. 6 km

1,5 km GENEVA MICROGUIDE 0 km

There is fondue on the menu for the Gala dinner. To deserve it, you need to burn some calories first. From Pont Saint-Georges to Rhone river bank (and Passerelle du Lignon) / From 3 to 11 km 169

Start at the / Pont Saint-Georges / 0 km / on the left side of the river Arve . This is your last chance to experience a creative collision with a moving vehicle. You can now start climbing the paved trail at the sign “Bois de la Bâtie”, which hosts a small zoo with local animals and, for almost a century, a cave for Bruno J. Strasser enjoys running, being a professor at cultivating Paris mushrooms. Once (or if) you reach the top of the hill, keep right and cross the terrace the University of Geneva and directing the Bioscope. of the Cafe de la Tour (don’t stop, you are not tired yet). Enjoy the view of “La Jonction”, the joining of the deep blue river Rhone flowing out from Lake Geneva and the milky river Arve wending its way from the French Alps (yes, another creative collision). Continue high above the river, on the path through the forest until you reach the cemetery (don’t stop, you are not dead yet), where you should take the little road down on the right marked by the yellow sign that reads “La Plaine”. Soon you get to the massive / Pont Butin / 1,5 km /, built in 1916 and only finished in 1926, after one of the pillars collapsed (should be safe now). Pass under the bridge along the river and enjoy, as the noise of traffic fades away, the sound Get your of water, leaves, insects, and birds. If you stop looking at your running watch, you will see many dif- ferent species of birds, and even more if you come early in the day. The path continues along the river, sometimes right next to the water, sometimes high above (yes, there are a few stairs to enjoy along the way). You can continue forever, ignoring all the sessions you are missing, or turn around when you start feeling guilty. If you are in good shape and a bit adventurous, you can go all the way to the pedestrian running shoes bridge / “Passerelle du Lignon” / 6 km / and cross. Then trust your instinct (or your smartphone) to reach directly, though an industrial-residential neighbourhood, the other side of Pont Butin. Take the overpass (do not cross the river) and, unless you enjoy the smell of diesel, get back to the river bank below, just before the first condominiums. In less than 3 km you will be back. Now, you really deserve and follow me the fondue of the Gala dinner. JET D’EAU GENEVA MICROGUIDE

Is Venice, Amsterdam or Stockholm the most watery city in Europe? Why not Geneva? Although it lacks a huge network of canals or a plethora of islands, for me this city is unique: the lakeshore of Lake Geneva is home to the greatest diversity of creative collisions with fresh water in the world.
