RhyCycling – Fluid Borderland

The river Rhein as a flowing border area forms the boundaries of communities, cantons and countries from its origin in Grison/Eastern Switzerland until its entrance into the sea in Rotterdam. It is water and power provider, living and working space - an ecologically, socio-economically and culturally diverse microcosm. The research project RhyCycling - Esthetics of Sustainability in the Basel Border Area examines in a geographical perimeter of the border region of Switzerland-Germany-France how the human and non-human environment is linked together and what interdependences, problems, un/balancies and scenarios result.
