First prize for the revitalisation of the Mattenbach river in Winterthur.

The team of Studio Céline Baumann with NRP Ingenieure, OePlan, Schneiter Verkehrsplanung and Soziologie & Raum wins first prize for the revitalisation of the Mattenbach river. Stretching for more than two kilometers, the project allows the nowadays canalized stream to become the heart of a new recreational and ecological landscape. By carefully highlighting traces of history and gently redirecting the stream, it transforms the former riverbed into a shaded promenade, where the trees of the alluvial forest create a continuous, living corridor.

Publication of the book Ramification.
We are pleased to announce the publication of the book Ramification, edited by Céline Baumann and published by the Museum im Bellpark.
We are familiar with the idea of ramification from botany: in the case of the tree, aboveground elements like limbs and twigs visibly branch out in order to enlarge the overall leaf surface and thereby maximize processes of photosynthesis. The principle of ramification can also be seen in the realm of larger systems: for example, in the case of a watershed, where small tributaries flow into ever-larger rivers before reaching the sea. Ramifications can cover larger areas without eliminating, or pushing out, what is already there, and can thereby connect otherwise isolated entities. And ramification is also a conceptual tool that offers insight— not only into the anatomy of a plant but also onto connections within and between landscapes.

Céline Baumann is kicking off a visiting studio of landscape architecture with studio rhizomes at the ETH in Zürich.

During the autumn semester 2023, we are investigating how rhizomatic structures may allow us to act upon broad territories in order to shape ecological and climatic corridors for humans and non-humans alike.
