South of Geneva, Switzerland, the Aire River runs across a plain that for centuries has been agricultural land. Since the late nineteenth century, the waterway has been embanked for flood protection, which has caused a gradual loss of habitat for a large variety of plants and animals. In 2001, a decision was made to renaturalize the river. Yet rather than merely reconstructing the river's former natural bed, Superpositions, the association of firms commissioned with the project, applied topographic imagination, a method that combines the embanked channel with a newly designed pasture landscape.
