Latence is an insightful book project that delves into the pressing issue of territorial expansion in Switzerland, focusing on the challenges posed by limited space and the impact on both urban and natural environments. This project emphasizes the vital role of graphic design in conveying complex ideas, using creative visual storytelling to highlight the rehabilitation of unused industrial wastelands and the promotion of sustainable territorial development.

One prominent case study in the book is the Chavalon thermal power station, abandoned since 1999. This site serves as a powerful example of the urgent need for innovative solutions to revitalize such spaces. Latence blends graphic design with allegorical language to create a compelling narrative, sparking reflection on our relationship with abandoned areas and encouraging sustainable thinking.

Presented in a visually engaging and accessible format, the project aims to raise awareness about the environmental and social implications of neglected spaces, offering inspiration for urban regeneration and sustainable design practices.
