The Lina project is located in the Parc de la Perle du Lac in Geneva. It proposes an experimental installation dedicated to the cultivation of spirulina, a microalgae known for its nutritional qualities and low environmental impact.

Historically, fountains have played an essential role in parks. They fulfilled functional uses related to the distribution of drinking water or washing, while also serving as elements of beauty, freshness, and fascination. Lina reinterprets this idea by proposing a productive fountain integrated into a contemporary landscape environment.

The project explores the possibility of introducing small-scale food production into the heart of the city. A spirulina basin runs through the space and makes visible the different stages of growth and transformation of the microalgae. From cultivation to harvesting, then from drying to pressing, the entire process becomes accessible to the public.

Designed as a place of discovery and awareness-raising, Lina questions our relationship to food, resources, and urban production systems. The project thus proposes a local, educational, and experimental approach to food production in an urban context.
