This conference is part of a peculiar patrimonial context, that of the maintenance of the installations of the Salève cable-car built by Maurice Braillard. As such, it seems interesting to question this object in a larger context – that of the living space that is the franco-valdo-genevan basin – and to analyse an element which could articulate it – the Salève landscape as a whole, as a “monument of the metropolis”. By all accounts, the Salève is an important vector from which to plan our metropolitan development. Bernardo Secchi’s conference, thematising the question of landscape as monument of the metropolis will be discussed from a Genevan context by Marcellin Barthassat [flyer].
