Earthshine - An Essay on Watershed Imagining

The climate crisis is also a crisis of imagination. In Earthshine: An Essay on Watershed Imagining, landscape architect Stefan Darlan Boris invites readers on an atmospheric journey through garden cinemas, luminous landscapes, and the transformed banks of the Aire River near Geneva. Retracing the landmark river restoration project by Georges Descombes and Superpositions, the book explores how rivers might be reimagined as living terrains and watersheds as shared ecological and cultural ground in a changing climate. Blending critical reflection with visual exploration, the essay includes a series of previously unpublished river drawings by Descombes, offering new perspectives on landscape, memory, and environmental futures.
