 d\nInscription\n\n(Re)Drawing the Urban Ground workshop is conceived as a 
 space for exchange and sharing of experiences between professionals and re
 searchers from EPFL. By (re)drawing Geneva’s soils\, we will discuss c
 ontemporary methodologies of representation\, characterization\, and desig
 n of shared\, productive\, and inhabited natural spaces capable of addres
 sing today’s environmental and social challenges.\n\nOver the past decad
 es\, our understanding of soil has undergone a profound transformation. Ho
 wever\, the lack of social representations for these soils and their worki
 ngs means that what goes on below the ground surface of our cities often g
 oes unnoticed in processes of design.\n\nWhat lies beneath our feet? Does 
 the soil have a thickness? Does it have a beginning and an end? Can we mov
 e from the thin line dividing air and earth of so many representations and
  into an active\, social\, political\, and ecological thickness filled wit
 h agency and socio-ecological interactions? How can we make that thickness
  visible and active within our co-design strategies? Is it indeed relevant
  to make it visible\, or are there other ways of making the soils accessib
 le for the co-design of our cities?\n\nJoin Ben Gitaï (HRC-EPFL)\, Luc
 ía Jalón\, and Alejandro Varela López (ALICE-EPFL).
