MEASURES / Studio KNOWHERE / ALICE
Acts of surveying the land
To measure assumes a distance between two or more things. It also means to establish references: between spaces, sizes, horizons. We measure, with the senses of the body, a territory that emanates from our sites in Geneva. Starting from an origin, a distance is measured and surveyed, and a territory begins to emerge in conversation with the starting point. We produce, through surveying, a set of potentialities. Reading the land is an act of imagining.
KNOWHERE started its semester by exploring place de la Riponne through two opposite scalar entrance points: the ephemeral and the monumental. Historically, place de la Riponne acted as a highly flexible social platform, where frail market stands would temporarily exist between great stone columns. KNOWHERE will explore this inspiring dual relation: solid next to fluid, foldable next to immutable, and stone next to fabric. The first hours of the studio were spent designing measuring tools out of found materials, enabling students to measure monumental elements that were out of reach for unequipped bodies.
