Dieses Buch dokumentiert die von Jaccaud + Associés beispielhaft geplanten und geleiteten Renovierungsarbeiten in der Cité du Lignon in Vernier bei Genf (2010-2024). Von Georges Addor, Dominique Julliard, Jacques Bolliger und Louis Payot zwischen 1963 und 1971 erbaut, ist sie eine der grössten Wohnsiedlungen der Schweiz und steht seit 2009 unter Denkmalschutz. Die seit 2012 sukzessive erfolgte Renovierung beruht auf zahlreichen Studien und Entwürfen und betrifft folgende Bereiche: Erneuerung der Gemeinschaftsräume; Anpassung an die Brandschutzvorschriften und Sanierung der technischen Installationen; Optimierung der Verkehrswege und der thermischen Leistung der Fassaden. Die Gebäudehülle wurde auf Basis der Studien des TSAM-Labors der École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne renoviert. Die Bauarbeiten an den mehr als 1000 Wohnungen erfolgten im laufenden Betrieb, mit dem Ziel, die Bewohnerschaft möglichst wenig zu beeinträchtigen. Das Buch lässt die Hauptakteurinnen und -akteure dieser Teamleistung in einer Reihe von Interviews zu Wort kommen. Leo Fabrizio und Paola Corsini haben das Resultat sowie die Bauphasen aus ihrer jeweils eigenen Perspektive fotografisch dokumentiert.This book documents the renovation work by Jaccaud + Associés on the Cité du Lignon, Vernier (2010-2024). The Cité, which was built between 1963 and 1971 by Georges Addor, Dominique Julliard, Jacques Bolliger and Louis Payot, is one of the largest housing estates in Switzerland and has been preservation-listed since 2009. Renovation measures, which have been ongoing since 2012, are based on numerous studies and designs, addressing the following fields: renewing the communal spaces, adapting to fire-safety regulations and renovating technical installations, optimising circulation routes and improving the façades' thermal performance. The building envelope was renovated on the basis of studies by the TSAM laboratory at the EPFL. Building work on the over 1,000 apartments was carried out during running operations, whereby a large number of participating trades endeavoured to minimise disturbance to the residents. The book lets the main protagonists in this team task speak for themselves in a series of interviews. Leo Fabrizio and Paola Corsini have photographically documented the building stages from their own perspectives.
