Editorial This magazine is the first step of our proposal to reinforce the connections between the people inside and outside the valley to the place itself.

A magazine.

It is not only words written on paper

t is much more than this.

A magazine is a source of informations about what’s happening.

A magazine as a mean to make people aware of the potentialities of their valley

Amagazine as a tool to connect different realities of the region and to start to present

events together

Amagazine as a way to involve young people in realizing something for the commu-

nity, in being sparkles of new initiatives

A magazine as something different, as a common project for the inhabitants to link

them together

What are the priorities for a valley like this?When we approached a context like this, we im-mediately understood that the main priorities were related to the spirit more than to the physicality of the territory. Changes have to be driven by the community and not left only to external forces.

What an alpine valley needs? What are the meanings of sustainability, development or mutations in the alpine context?

There is the need for imagin-ing new ways for developing the harsh and nonetheless beautiful landscape and cul-ture found in the Alps.This project is searching for a vision that could deeply transform the way of relat-ing ourselves to this territory. That’s why a great impor-tance has to be given to the process to reach the final goal.This one should not be imposed in people’s mind but needs to be developed with the participation of locals, and people who care enough about the land.What we are going to do is to provide a set of tools [a DIY toolbox] to progressively reach a more resilient and sustainable com-munity.

How to assess priorities? Team TerreyCollective of experts in different disciplines, they contributed to tackle the problem with a strong cross-disciplinary approach to this interesting although difficult topic

Image 01. A colorful explosion of creativity, the new center for the valley

When we first approached ELOP project and the valley of Finhaut it was not clear in our minds where this experience would lead us. But after the first contacts we understood that we were dealing with extremely prolific material if we considered the richness of the environment and, why not?, the richness of people. What was missing according to us was a stronger connection between the different actors in

the valley and the capacity to collect ideas about the mountains. That’s why our first steps were concentrated on the creation of a stronger network of active people. Thinking of physical interventions immedi-ately made us go for a progressive appro-priation of the spaces inside and outside the vil-lages. Our strategy was to include changes in the essence of these interventions: at first,



f

Basically we based our work on the idea that a pro-cess is more important than a project. Even if the situation appeared to be fixed and hardly changeable, what was important was the need to take into account the capability of people to react to the process itself.From those assumptions we started imagining a progressive strategy that would have to have a deeper and deeper effect on the valley and especially on its population. Our first step was to set up an association to help introducing new ideas and develop people’s mentality.

Secondly, we proposed to organize different events around the valley, which would allow us to use the spaces in a more or less permanent way. Our third step was to imagine the creation of a “panoptikon”as a building that would show what is happening in the valley by its transformations, subtrac-tions or additions. We choose an abandoned hotel as a symbol of rebirth.



13

MAXIME. The valley has proven that here

it is possible to make things

happen, even though it is dif-

ficult as people usually refuse

the idea that they can exploit

their projects also in the valley

without leaving for bigger cities.

CAMILLE. We don’t actually need proper

tourists here... We need more

people willing to come and able

to appreciate what the valley

can offer, people able to bring

something to the valley. More

than just

touching and leaving.

What to ask?

Questions

1. Que voulez-vous pour l´avenir de Finhaut?2. Que ne voudriez-vous pas que Finhaut devienne?3. Quel rêve avez-vouz pour Finhaut?4. Quelle type de Festival voudriez-vous dans votre region?

1. What would you like for the future of Finhaut?2. What would you not like Finhaut to become?3. Which dream do you have for Finhaut?4. Which type of Festival would you like in this region?

1. M.

1. There is the need for more cultural activities and more anima-tion; we don’t need simple tourists, but more travellers. Expe-cially young people.2. We need to avoid to make it a ghost village, a village where people only sleep between working days. 3. I really want a village that could work and sustain on its own; whereeverybody has a duty and organize itself.4. The most suitable festival for Finhaut could be mountaineer-ing, also related to well-being [like food or cooking, meditation].

ApproachIn the beginning of the process we started by getting in touch with the local people living in Finhaut to try to understand their visions, their dreams and wishes, in or-der not to impose a project but to make it come directly from the physical and social environment of the valley.



f

2. G.pa & G.ma

1. We would like a Modern Finhaut, where car are parked un-derground and the swimming pool it has been renovated. This means also more people around in a more livable space. 2. We hope youth will not leave leaving a dead village. 3. Clearly there is the need for more hotels and more chalets.4. The only suitable festival for the valley has to be related to mountaineering .

3. E.1. More tourism. Because otherwise it’s a dead place2. I’m scared this will become an abandoned place3. I hope for more kids living there4. Of course, mountaineering

4. F. S.1. People, more people have to know nd come to the valley2. I’m afraid that without new people this will become a closed place3. Youth are the ones that bring life and ideas, they need more spaces; and we need better accomodations for sport and leisure 4. Festivals should be focused on environnement and I think music could be a good way to attract people

5. Mr. A.1. The village doesnìt have to grow, it has to stay like this2. It has not to become a village like Verbier3. It’s a very little thing; to have a new covered swimming-pool4. Mountaineering

6. Elaine1. The first thing is to keep the train active to get more trans-ports, doctors, hair dresser, hotels, sport accommodations and a spa place. We need to think international and open an international school (with proximity of Chamonix and Martigny there could be people around all the time)2. I would not answer to this3. Nature and forests are the best parts of this place, we need to keep them beautiful, support the agriculture and the rural aspect of the area.4. More art and food culture I think

7. Maxime - Ancienne Président du Commune1. That this beautiful village carries on improving in a sustain-able way. A better quality of life and a way for the youth and young families to feel home and to stay around.2. A village where people sleep, or a place where entreprises come to exploit the village, get the money and leave. 3. Somedy living in all the houses, a lively school and dynamic, welcoming shops. Renovations of excisting accommodations. 4. Art – Infinitudes proves that Arts can belong in Finhaut

8. O.1. We don’t want to loose anymore the young generations 2. I’m really afraid by Finhaut as an empty village3. The most important thing is to develop the well being as an unique caracter for the valley4. Imagine to combine Art with Mountains, the ArtPinisme!

PAULO FREIRE. There is no such thing as a

neutral education process.

Education can become the

‘practice of freedom’, the

means by which men and

women deal critically with real-

ity and discover how to

participate in the transformation

of their world.

KURT LEWIN. “Action research is a com-

parative research on conditions

and effects of forms of social

research leading to social

action” that uses “a spiral of

steps, each one composed by

a circle of planning, action, and

fact-finding about the results”.

DID you know?

Participatory Design is a design approach where all stakeholders are actively involved in the processes and procedures of design. Traditional design processes commonly include the paying client and consultants within or related to the profession; in participa-tory design, the users and even the wider public are also recog-nized as stakeholders and are brought into the process as well.

The extent of their involvement differs across projects and can range from merely informing these groups of people in a one-way process, to sharing or delegating roles and responsibilities in partnership with the local communities. The main ob-jective is often to ensure that the end product or outcome of the design process meets the actual needs of this wid-er group of stakeholders, but there are many other rea-sons for adopting a more participatory approach as well:

• Peoplehavetherighttoparticipation.• Designershaveasocialresponsibilitytopeople.• Everyoneisanexpertatsomething.• Participationcreatesownershipoftheoutcome.

What Participative Design is not?

Participative Design is a method not an orientation.

Participation is not about abrogating responsibility or escaping accountability as designers. People typically expect designers to provide good advice and make sound decisions, but, as architect Lucien Kroll once said,“I do not want to decide alone”.

Image 02. Lucien Kroll - MèMèLeuven 1970-1972

ConnectingIf you want to actively involve people in preserving their own environment first you need to reduce the isola-tion and the lack of communications between the dif-ferent stakeholders around the valley. And you need also to actively involve the population in the process of improving the place; avoiding to consider them as users and not as producers of their own landscape.

How to Evaluate Participatory Design

1st Criteria· Work Quality for workers· Reflection and mutual agreement · Codetermination.

2nd Criteria· Collaborative Development· Agreement and Representing Mechanisms· Common Objectives

3rd Criteria· Repetitive Processes

1. First Approach

Gathering information of the place: the designers should visit the place making a detailed review of the general technical state of the project. All possible information are necessary: not only the ones related to the physical aspects, but also to social or economical aspects.Information of the customer: meeting the community to go over details about the project, the people and links project/people.information and resources: construction material. 2. Discovery Process The participants use various techniques to understand and prior-itize the organization at work and imagine the future workplace. A work group is formed with different actors for planning the development of the project. · Observations · Interviews· Rules· Visits· Tool Exploration· Workshops· Games· Meetings 3. Prototyping

Participants give shape to the ideas imagined in stage 2. Different techniques are used to shape the project: from models to drawings, from photos to collages and sketches.

4. Consolidation and Evaluation Based on the last stage, the team develops different proposals in order to reach the possible solutions. These proposals are discussed and evaluated until the final project is defined. This stage process is not always developed in a linear se-quence. Some stages are developed among others and not all of them require the same amount of time and energy.

Strategies for appropriating the spaces Typologies of spaces

· CustomizedIt is mostly characterized by the changes given to a space depending on the desired activity.

· AproppriatedOriginally created for other purposes, these unconventional spaces change and take shape for the user.

· Re-adaptedThese are also appropriated spaces, which have been remodelled for the users benefit

Typologies of structures · ConsolidatorsThese structures are built to be appropriated: bases are given to users who can built around them or adapt the space the way they desire.

· LinkersThey look for connecting big spaces and and are a point of reference inside bigger structures. They are also special places that in some way invite users to socialize and share different activities.

Typologies of drifts · UnintentionalA change in the architecture that surprises you and gives a new perspective of the project that was not expected. This can be produced by the different behaviours of users, materials, environment, etc. Its not always a good result. · IntentionalYou intentionally create a process that will create an uninten-tional development in the architecture.

How to Evaluate Participatory Design Work Quality according to workersWorkers control their own work organization, tools and pro-cesses. There is a reflection and mutual agreement between users and designers. Both use the different techniques of 2nd stage to be reassessing continuously the research and syn-chronizing the different ideas.We can speak of codetermination when users and design-ers determine together the main criteria to assess; in this way nobody appropriates the project to himself.

Collaborative DevelopmentAlways use the right mechanism of participation is not a “listen-ing tour” where designers listen the users problems and then resolve them. It is a mechanism where they participate in ev-erything, interacting and verifying that the main problem is being resolved correctly until the end.We introduce agreements and representing mechanisms.In most cases, not everybody can be involved in participatory design. In this case they must be represented. These agents should be able to establish disagreements or agreements.

How to react to the imputs? Team TerreyCollective of experts in different disciplines, they contributed to tackle the problem with a strong cross-disciplinary approach to this interesting although difficult topic

Image 03. The logo of the new association created to boost ideas and creativity of the people of the valley

As a conclusion, we understood that one of the main problems was the lack of unity and communication within the community. The people are willing to work for a better future but they are divided. They are also scared of becoming a Phantom village, which they already are in our opinion. We all started with the same intuition, therefore we decided to ask a question about festivals organized by a new Association, and every-

body showed enthusiasm about the idea.After receiving such positive feedbacks from our counterparts we started the work to organize and set up the process leading to the realization of a series of festivals. Our wish: bringing new life to a valley just by introducing special events related to all pos-sible topics.



23

An Association will be created in order to involve and connect different kind of people to make them work as a team and to further experience and develop the best for the future of the region.

The association will be responsible for developing dif-ferent events every “two years” to promote education, communication and technology progress.They will also lead different workshops, and more important, their headquarters will be the main meeting place for the Participatory Round Table where most of the decisions will be taken.

The Association has to work for helping changing the mentality of the people by introducing constantly new ideas and inputs to discuss with the community.

The Association will be based inside the Mont-Fleuri hotel; as a symbolic example of a renewal of Finhaut, now filled with possibilities. The Mont-Fleuri hotel will be slowly appropriated and transformed by the association by organizing events and festivals also inside it.

what Is?

A ‘Panopticon’ in Modernity

Usually a panopticon is a circular building with a central point which allows to observe everything that happens around. A well-known example for a panopticon is la Bibliothèque Nationale de France in Paris.Could you imagine Finhaut as the centre of something? Some-thing bigger than a single building?

Maybe the centre of the valley?

The concept of ‘A panopticon in modernity’ in the valley of Tri-ent is to allow a person to experience all what happens in the valley with a focus on Finhaut. Although it is physically impossible to have a total overview over the mountains, the centre - situated in Finhaut - will afford the users to overcome this by intensive collaboration of the inhabitants. The population is invited to use the principal of Participatory Design in the ‘Panopticon’ association and the highly interactive crowdsourcing-app.

The goal of the association is to emphasise the richness of the region by the organisation of events and festivals.

The ‘Panopticon’ starts and ends the festivals in Finhaut and makes the outputs visible in a resume building. The resume building and the head office of the association improves Fin-hauts’ important role as the centre of the metaphoric panopti-con.The association develops circles around the centre that are worth to visit. The project aims to use existing trails and sights to show the physical outputs of the annual festivals. These outputs are also presented in multifunctional pavilions placed along the circles of the panopticon. Moreover the association provides a crowdsourcing-app to involve as much people as possible in the development.The challenge is, to use the special features in the festivals to bring visitors as well as inhabitants closer to nature and to each other.The system based on participatory design will capture users and visitors in virtual and real networks of creativity, development and broad sustainability.

The nameChoosing such a particular reference for our project could be seen as provocation as it immediately recalls bad memories and images. But we think that there is the need to go beyond the first impressions we have, exactly like when we speak about the valley. For us Pan-opticon assumes a completely different meaning as a symbolic space that shows in the same moment all the possibilities happening in the valley thanks to the people.

The trails, first steps of the “festival strategy” Team TerreyCollective of experts in different disciplines, they contributed to tackle the problem with a strong cross-disciplinary approach to this interesting although difficult topic

Image 05. The net of the different trails and their topics with the position of the pavillions

The idea is to organize a series of trails around the valley implementing the existent net of small roads and trails and by giving to each one a defined theme. After the first contacts with the population we propose that the main themes to be followed in this net will be art [ArTrail], environment [Environmen-Trail] and sport [SporTrail]. The three paths are interconnected and punctuated with a

series of pavilions hosting the most diverse functions: from little exhibition spaces to little shelters for artists in resi-dence or for trekkers rest.Those net represents the first step of a more wide strategy to transform the valley by overlapping different events and their lega-cies. In this way we would bring progressive transformations inside a people-lead process of development.



27

The pavilions around Finhaut are multifunctional places that are very worth to visit. Especially from spring to autumn they wel-come quest from different countries and with a various amount of reasons to come there.Hikers appreciate the silence of the mountains and to be close to the nature. The pavilions are attractive resting points for hik-ers doing day trips or are important stations of the regular mountaineering festivals of Finhaut. Following the aim of the festival, the most important requirements of the pavilions are:

Ecological design Auto-sufficient electricity anda multifunctional design of the inside pace

The pavilions are a new part of the touristic infrastructure of the valley. They have to fulfill needs for mountaineering activities as well as for art exhibitions and small concerts, that are part of

the regular art festivals with different main topics.The third aim of the festival concept – together with moun-taineering and art – is the improvement of the environmental awareness of tourists and the society in general. The pavilions can be used as small lecture halls or as nature labs. In addition they are good examples for energy efficiency and ecological building methods.

One of the aims on the construction side is to use as much natural and local materials as possible. The pavilions are built without concrete, steel and other very energy intensive materi-als that are not close to the sense of sustainability. The second technical goal in the pavilions’ design is, that they only need a very small amount of electricity to fulfill the users’ needs. Walls or windows integrate solar panels meet the requirements for light for art exhibitions and small live concerts during the festivals.

Art can be a powerful temporary element to activate the unused spaces of the valley. With outdoor exhibitions, art is to everyone’s reach and has the

potentiality to enrich the landscape and add an extra layer to this experience of exploring the place. Site-specific artworks can create a path along the valley that will connect the most important spots through this open air museum enriched every year with new masterpieces.

Mont FleuriThe proposal is to take over the Mont Fleuri hotel step by step in a long term process by progres-sively inserting different functions in it. The modifications will be subtle at first, and then more radical. The shape of the abandoned hotel would represent the collection of all the transformations happening around the valley. From just meeting place for the community to an “alpine theatre” and indoor climbing wall Mont Fleuri hotel is the centre of our strategy.



f



33

We propose to seize the Old abandoned Mont Fleuri Hotel, which is a great option to place the Association. For a start, this place has enough space to develop our ideas, is located in a strategic point of the town and has a great green space around.

The appropriation of the hotel will take place in differ-ent phases and it will follow a progressive logic in order not to introduce too sudden changes to the environ-ment of the village.

In the beginning the Mont Fleuri hotel will just host the

meetings of the association members and between the population; with the possibility to have a space for cooking and eating together.

With the evolution of the process, the building could be transformed into an attraction point able to be known also outside the valley.

How to put together what happens?Festivals, conferences, workshops and the realization of the trail net together with the pavillions and the appropriation of Mont Fleuri hotel are processes will take time to occur. So there is the need for design-ing a tool that could continuously involve people in proposing and discussing new ideas and changes for the valley.

The app has a very important role in our project as it is one of the main connecting tools to involve everyone in an active process of con-

stant dialogue. The main objective of the Finhaut App is to reinforce the process of participatory design as well as widening the range of crowd sourcing outside the town. In this app you will find basic information about the village, a guide to the new events and its appropriated spaces, the App will also feature a QR - Code scan which will be direct you to our website where all the ideas will be collected and analysed carefully. Another huge feature of the app is to inform and connect with people all around the world.

It is fundamental that the valley will not rely on a single energy source in the next years; there is the need for a more diffuse and smaller scale network of productive sites to improve the environment and local community. Energy production elements could also become tourist attractions.

Not I, nor anyone else can travel that road for you.

You must travel it by yourself.It is not far. It is within reach.

Perhaps you have been on it since you were born, and did not know.

Perhaps it is everywhere – on water and land.
