About elop* In a world characterised by increasing complexity and global implications, planning professions are coming to terms with an inescapable reality: yesterday’s deterministic tools are of not much use to solve today’s tangled problems and even less to plan tomorrow’s unpredictable scenarios. elop* is a teaching, learning and service-providing platform focused on transdisciplinary and transcultural problem-solving processes in the field of built and social environments. The transdisciplinary (TD) method is further enhanced by the use of virtual and physical collaboration and communicati-on methods and tools.
elop* was born in 2008 with the vision of becoming a leading initiative at the forefront of a necessary paradigm change in planning processes, and aiming at educating a new generation of professionals fit to act in a future global stage. elop* is a student-centered program and wants to enable and facilitate transdisciplinary, transcultural and virtual development processes with the goal of creating better mutual understanding in the planning process, to improve the decision making processes, to reduce planning risks and, final-ly, to achieve better results in a shorter time with lower overall lifecycle costs. elop*allianceelop* is based on a network of collaborating partner universities, that takes the form of an alliance hosted at and coordinated by the Bern University of Applied Sciences.
elop* Projects are acquired and co-organized by the elop*alliance Partners on an yearly rotational basis. The project elop*7 is co-organized by HES-SO hepia Geneva, Switzerland.
The elop*platform represents a pool of competences. The platform brings together specialists who recognize the need of transdisciplinary and trans-cultural approaches in academic learning and teaching as well as in practice to develop robust solutions for a sustainable development and to create graduates who qualify themselves by a broad respect for neighbouring dis-ciplines. It brings together faculty members, students, authorities, industry partners and further interest groups. The elop*alliance recognizes that a discourse among culturally different ap-proaches will foster better solutions for the complex tasks of today’s global society. This is done under the conviction that a sharing attitude and an open dialogue enable continuous research and development of the working methodologies.

2.1 Alpine Territories
The Alps have a special feature which sets them apart from other massifs in the world. For more than a millennium, they have been (or were) the site of a deep-rooted farming civilization which still reveals its presence in the agricultural outlines of the landscape.
Modernity has revealed the fragility of this unique and self-sufficient world, made so distinctive by the way in which the customs of a society became embedded in its physical environment. Like a tidal wave, modern technology and the capitalist economy have fractured the coherence of the traditional mountain environment. The mountains have been appropriated from out-side by people from the city and the plains, who mobilise its resources and redefine its strategic locations.
Widespread changes can be observed which have stripped mountain territo-ries of their uniqueness. These changes are brought about by:
Modern roads and infrastructures, the most visible signs of the opening-up of trade, giving city dwellers easy and rapid access to spaces that were once isolated.
• Uneven development of the territory: as the agricultural hillside loses its qualities, more attention is focused on the valley bottom, often neglec-ted in the past; to flat areas amenable to colonization by factories and busy towns, essential cogs of the new economy. The mountain is there-fore classified as a “depressed area”.
• Dams, reservoirs, multiple water supplies and hydroelectric power stations are the taps used by factories and cities to draw off what they need; this is the contribution of the depressed mountain area to modern development. The question can be debated endlessly: local resources are whose to exploit in a world where everything is interconnected? All the ambiguity of the region resides in the promise of technology: we are in the heart of the mountains, the memory of old skills has been washed away; we are also, of course, in the industrialised world, which must serve the needs of the city.
• The Alpine skiing revolution. This is an absolute transformation, the likes of which the Alps have not experienced since the 12th century land clearances that modelled their landscape to the present day.
• Diffuse urbanization: everywhere a new pattern of occupancy supplants a thousand-year-old rural heritage. Scattered housing developments, from functional, high-altitude resorts to villages nestling in valleys, denote other value systems for which the mountain is merely the back-drop, often left to fend for itself; what takes precedence is easy and ever-expanding access, city comfort in the environment itself and in the panoply of public services, with sites chosen more for their view than for the intrinsic quality of the location.

Mountain territories are under the sway of the city. Today this situation is being seriously challenged. Questions about the future of mountain terri-tories are now being asked from a broader perspective and must take into account:
• awareness of a loss of identity and subjugation to a value system alien to that of mountain regions;
• global warming, which renders some mountain ski resorts unusable due to lack of snow, endangers certain plant species, and risks bringing major changes to the Alpine landscape;
• doubts surrounding the concept of tourism, and measures to encourage an alternative tourism in harmony with nature and the cultural history of the Alps;
• more production of hydroelectricity, with a view to moving away from nuclear power. Now is the time to look at boosting hydroelectricity pro-duction in the mountains and optimising its profitability;
• ecology, maintaining biodiversity, impact on the environment;
• the growth of a local economy;
• and the administration of unoccupied residences (second homes).
The Swiss Alps have always been a favoured vacation destination and Swiss chalets are seconda-ry residences to many happy owners. However, the construction boom of the past decades has led to an over-development of certain alpine regions with the resulting growth of “cold beds”, i.e. beds used only occasionally during holiday seasons but left empty the rest of the year. It has been suggested that in 2012 there were over 500,000 properties used as second or holiday homes in Switzerland, raising concerns about the impact of this situation on villages, Swiss Alps resorts, as well as the environment. It is against this background that the environmentalist Franz Weber launched a constitutional initiative to limit the number of secondary residences in Switzerland (the so-called “Weber Initiative”). On 11 March 2012, Swiss people voted in favour of limiting secondary residences in Switzerland to a maximum quota of 20% of residential zones and of the total surface of habitable space of each commune.

2.2 Mont-Blanc Region elop *7 “Alpine Mutations” based its study area on two cross-border valleys: the valley of Chamonix (France) and the valley of Trient (Switzerland). This territory connects two large towns of the Alpine region, Chamonix and Mar-tigny. Situated at the foot of the Mont-Blanc massif, the territory has become the preferred Alpine destination for mountain sports.
Because of their geographical and topographical situations, these two val-leys are home to five high-altitude villages (Salvan at 923 metres, Finhaut at 1,275 metres, Trient at 1,279 metres, Vallorcine at 1,260 metres and Argentière at 1,244 metres).
This territory is divided into two drainage basins. The first is marked by the “Eau Noire” mountain stream which flows towards Chamonix (Arve drainage basin) while the second slope starts with the Trient glacier, the source of the river of the same name, which flows into the Rhône at Martigny.
The history of this cross-border territory marks it out as the birthplace of mountaineering. The ascent of Mont-Blanc by Saussure and Balmat (1787) gave rise to an economic boom based on tourism at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. Initially a stopover for tou-rists visiting Chamonix, these two valleys slowly became holiday resorts in their own right. The main road between Martigny and Chamonix developed exponentially. Farmers in the valley became guides for tourists. At the start of the 20th century there followed investment in facilities (hotels) and infra-structures (Martigny-Chamonix railway line, 1908) which allowed large-scale development of this territory, particularly in the Trient valley.
Unfortunately, the emergence of skiing in the 1940s and 1950s heralded the end of this economy. The new sport of skiing required installations of all sorts: ski-lifts and extensive slopes. It is difficult to find a convenient spot in this valley to develop that activity. The hotels closed one after another.
However this crisis situation was offset by considered investments in high-quality hydroelectric installations, enabling the Trient valley to exploit ener-gy resources in a rational way. Today, this investment generates a signifi-cant economic spin-off for the Swiss communes (Trient, Salvan, Finhaut).

On the back of this financial windfall local councillors are trying in vain to bring the valley back to life. The renovation of tourist facilities or the gran-ting of housing subsidies are the new weapons used by councillors to attract people to this territory once more.

2.3 Focus on Finhaut
In bygone years, the population of Finhaut lived off the land in harmony with the seasons. Farmers followed the grass with their herds: winter pastu-res in the valley bottom, up to Léchère in the spring, the alpine pastures of Emosson and Le Vieux-Emosson in the summer, fairs and grape-harvesting in Martigny in the autumn.
Historically, the village of Finhaut was connected to Chamonix by a mule track, which became the Route des diligences in 1855 and was subsequently upgraded in 1908 with a new railway track. The village of Finhaut then beca-me, like Zermatt, on account of its situation, its climate and the comfort of its hotels, one of the most important destinations in the canton of Valais for a summer stay in the mountains.
Between the two world wars, construction of the first dam to electrify the railways, then the crisis of 1929, brought tourism to a halt. During the war years, hotels were used to house internees or tuberculosis patients. For want of renovation and new customers – the resort did not adapt to winter tourism - the resort closed most of its establishments between the years 1950-60.
With the development of hydroelectricity in 1950 came construction of the Vieil Emosson dam, and 15 years later the Emosson dam. These new con-structions brought money into the Finhaut region, making it possible to renovate the old, dilapidated hotels and convert them into apartments. Since the 1990s, thanks to the activity of the dam, Finhaut has retained a stable population of 350 to 400 inhabitants.
Nestling on the side of the mountain, Finhaut is very quiet, if not deserted, much like other localities in the Trient Valley above Martigny. It is difficult to imagine the era of English tourists in the 1920s and the 19 hotels then in business. Today there are only two, and they are not doing particularly well.

In 2011, the commune’s budget rose from 3.5 million to 35 million francs. Along with five other communes in the valley, Finhaut received money from renewal of the Barberine dam hydroelectric concession. The Trient valley now has a considerable budget to push through development and initiate an “Alpine transformation”.
Finhaut and its communes are gathering ideas for their development: plans for hotels, renovation work, the construction of apartments for young peo-ple... However the Trient Valley lacks a general analysis of its requirements and its territory, particularly on a cross-border scale in the context of the Mont-Blanc region.

3.1 Starting Point - Turning Point
elop*7 has chosen the valley of Trient as site for the project because of the unique set of conditions it offers for a transdisciplinary project. The region finds itself at a crucial turning point, an exceptional opportunity to think out of the box.
The old touristic model is outdated, yesterdays’ Alpine lifestyle is seriously endangered by the pressure of urbanisation, climate change dramatically affects fragile landscapes like this one; on the other hand hydroelectric po-wer concessions guarantee a constant and reliable source of revenue for the community, and population seems not to decrease thanks to that.
Yet, the lack of global vision is the single most lethal factor in the current situation. Defining a future for the valley that utilizes its resources within a contemporary and future context becomes a pressing question that needs visionary answers if the region is not to gradually succumb in its own lethargy.
3.2 Challenges
The previously mentioned vectors of development should be understood in relation to local history and know-how. These two fundamental aspects are additional layers to the project that unveil some key issues at stake. There-fore the following challenges should be taken into account as part of the project.
Challenge 1Strengthen the identity of the region around Mont-Blanc and its symbolic valueThis region of Switzerland is historically and morphologically tied to the Mont-Blanc massif. The aim is to strengthen the identity, independence and coherence of this cross-border territory.
Challenge 2Rekindle historic cycles: prepare a new transformation of the terri-toryThe Finhaut of yesteryear lived from agriculture. Then, with the advent of tourists from England, it became a holiday resort and a very famous village. Since the 1950s, the region has lost ground competitively and become something of a backwater. Marked by the contemporary deve-lopment of Alpine regions (dams, infrastructures, etc) and by the scatte-red development of tourist activities, this valley and Finhaut is in search of a global concept for its future development.
Challenge 3 Develop expertiseWe recommend considering a type of development, which fits in with the location, the environment, the resources, and above all the inhabi-tants. Consolidating skills, educating, training, showcasing the value of the inhabitants of mountain territories and their expertise will provide a way forward for development of the region.
Challenge 4Do things differently...„Invent a high-altitude culture, an ultra modernity, an urban and more professional mountain revolution, and return to the sources of the sac-red mountain“Words by Bernard Crettaz, sociologist - ethnologist
3. Task definition
14 Cooperation Project Bern University of Applied Sciences | HES-SO hepia Geneva | elop*alliance
The project aims to answer a variety of questions and to elaborate on oppor-tunities that lead to long-term strategies as well as short-term initiatives:
How to approach the sustainable development of Alpine regions?How to preserve and promote the spatial and atmospheric qualities of these territories?How to initiate the transformation of a territory?What strategies/steps must be followed to ensure a smooth transition?How can inhabitants be integrated in this development?What is the influence on the local economy?How to deal with the climatic factors?How will nature be managed?Is energy part of the answer or part of the problem?Are renovation or construction necessary? But what exactly: Buildings, Infra-structure, Public spaces?...
3.3 Vectors of Development The elop*7 project provides a multicultural and multidisciplinary platform capable of envisaging the future of this mountain region in a global, territo-ry-specific context.
Students will be faced with a real situation, which is at once physical, social, economic, ecological, cultural and political. This will be underlined by objec-tives formulated by different stakeholders.
As a way of summarising the main aspects of the territory, 5 Vectors of development (or areas of opportunity) have been defined. Some are more latent, other are of extreme actuality, but all of them are highly relevant.
When tackling the project, students will be asked to discern and reflect upon their projects’ attitude, affinity and proneness vis-à-vis the following vectors of development: nature / urbanity / society / infrastructure / energy.
Students are strongly encouraged to consider solutions that activate all 5 vectors to different degrees and possibly even introduce new vectors that can participate in the sustainable development of the region in the future. The relevance of these themes may evolve over time as the projects should take the long-term temporal factor into consideration.

3.4 Stakeholders The sparsely populated mountain territory may lead to think that the eco-system of interest-holders is homogeneous and reduced. On the contrary, a rich diversity of stakeholders are already active in the territory; some are more progressive and visionary, others are more conservative and keen on preserving the status quo, and yet others want to embrace change gradu-ally. Their presence in the project is fundamental and provides a highly valuable sounding board for the ideas developed by the students.
3.4.1 Espace Mont-Blanc Cooperation
A SummaryThe Cooperation Espace Mont-Blanc (EMB) is a transboundary initiative between Savoie, Haute-Savoie, Val d‘Aosta and Valais. Under the leadership of the Transboundary Conference Mont Blanc, regional and local authori-ties have engaged in the protection and enhancement of an emblematic border territory to benefit people. The role of the Espace Mont Blanc is to implement a policy of sustainable development and active promotion of the mountain, combining the protection of natural habitats and landscapes to promote socio-economic activities. www.espace-mont-blanc.com
Situation and context for the project elop * 7Espace Mont-Blanc initiated on the basis of common objectives (protection of nature, preservation of agriculture, development of an integrated tourism and transit), several research topics in an integrated transboundary plan (PIT). This recently completed research promotes: • An observatory and new strategies for development of the territory of
Mont Blanc; • Sustainable Village • The development potential of the walking tour of Mont Blanc (TMB) • Environmental awareness • Sustainable mobility • Promotion of local savour
Motivations and Expectations Espace Mont Blanc expects from elop * 7 students an new exterior look at the territorial and economic reality of cross-border tourism region. Students‘ work will bring new ideas to the development projects that benefit the whole tourist area. While some ideas may seem utopian, they may trigger innovati-ve ideas and additional projects in future.
Goals / PrioritiesAs part of the new strategy for the future of Mont-Blanc, new priorities have been identified with new proposals for concrete actions integrated in the territory and for the benefit of the local population. The confidential pro-posals will be presented to the bord of the Espace Mont-Blanc on October 16th. After which the proposals will be provided publicly.

3.4.2 Municipality of Finhaut
Situation and context for the project elop * 7The municipality of Finhaut is about to begin the fourth phase of tourism development in its history. Most of the infrastructure related to tourism from Finhaut`s „Golden Age“ has now disappeared. However, thanks to the many sites of hydropower generation present in the municipal area (Vieux Emosson, Emosson and soon Nant de Drance that is under construction), significant financial resources are available for the realization of an ambitious project. It is with this desire that Finhaut has partnered with elop * 7.
Based on a scientific study by the Universities of Geneva and Zurich the State Council of the Canton of Valais has identified areas with specific pro-blems in Valais mountain areas. Finhaut is among listed 50 municipalities identified by this survey.
Taking this into account, imagine the possible short, medium and long term development in the fields: • Urban planning, • Agriculture, • Infrastructure • Promotion of soft mobility • Promotion of energy
Goals / PrioritiesDefine the necessary infrastructure: • To ensure the continued viability and autonomy of our mountain com-
munity. • To maintain decentralizatrd rural habitation Traffic controlFinhaut is also looking for solutions to the problem of traffic. Traffic within Finhaut is a problem, because the streets are not wide enough to allow crossings and the number of parking spaces is very limited compared to the number of households.

3.5 Task step by step
Complex challenges require sophisticated solutions. In order to convey a necessarily multi-layered response to the project students will be invited to dissect their proposals. The task break-down that follows is meant at hel-ping participants advance in the development of their ideas step by step and at different time scales simultaneously.
3.5.1 Cabinet of Curiosities
Cabinet of Curiosities became popular in Renaissance and specially Baroque Europe and were encyclopaedic collections of objects, from natural history and geology to ethnography and archaeology.
The objective of our elop*7 cabinet of curiosities is to collect information, images, texts, articles, research papers, testimonials, lectures about the Alpine territory and in particular about Finhaut in the valle of Trient.
Students are encouraged to read and come up with their own interpretati-on of these documents. Through this exercise participants should have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the Alpine culture and understand the assets, opportunities and risks that affect this fragile landscape.
The elop*7 cabinet of curiosities is to be discovered on the elop*7 blog (http://elop7.blogspot.ch/) where a selection of documents is available. Its contents are structured following these categories: • Alpine territory• Valley of Trient / Mont-Blanc area• Focus on Finhaut• Nature (Vector of development)• Urbanity (Vector of development)• Society (Vector of development)• Infrastructure (Vector of development)• Energy (Vector of development)
18 Cooperation Project Bern University of Applied Sciences | HES-SO hepia Geneva | elop*alliance
3.5.2 Longterm Perspective
100 years ago someone had the visionary idea of linking Martigny and Cha-monix by train. The railway suddenly put Finhaut in the map, triggered its touristic boom and had a long lasting influence to this day.
Can we imagine today a renewed vision for the next 100 years? If so, how is this vision rooted in the local know-how, culture stakeholders’ ambitions, and on the vectors of development?
Students are asked to reflect on long-term sustainable development scena-rios for the region. Be aware that visions unfold in unpredictable ways due to unforeseeable circumstances, so they should be broad enough to allow for evolution and defined enough for people to understand and share them. How you encompass and communicate your long-term perspective in the project is a challenge that we expect to be tackled.
3.5.3 Initiation
Visions only turn into realities if actions follow ideas.
Think of your long-term perspective as the culmination of an approach. A journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step, and that first step is now; so define a first concrete intervention that will unleash the energy of the project. It can be a small but impactful action, it can be a dispersed in-tervention or even an ephemeral one, but it needs to carry within it the DNA of the vision.
Bridge the gap between that first intervention and the long-term perspective by plotting out intermediate scenarios. What can happen in 30 years time (one generation)? And in 60 years? What type of ecosystem and cultural con-text supports the evolution of the project during all this time?
Find effective ways in which the first intervention and the evolutionary time-line of the project can be developed, prototyped and communicated.

3.6 Expected Output
Reading the territoryEach team is expected to develop its own understanding of the context and to express it through a rational and convincing set of selective affinities, specially as regards the importance given to each of the 5 vectors of deve-lopment.
VisionSummarise the key aspects of your long-term perspective, elaborating an open-ended yet precise understanding of what vision the team has develo-ped with a 2115 horizon in mind.
Intervention for „tomorrow“Elaboration of a transdisciplinary project for the area of Finhaut, which should be the first step towards the vision. The intervention should integra-te all aspects such as:• Following the created vision for the development of the area, based on
analysis and research, integrating the objectives of the stakeholders • Giving answers to the identified key regional and local issues• Infrastructure and traffic solutions• Political circumstances and social impact • Lifecycle / sustainability • Investment / Economic model
Conceptual interventions for 2045 and 2115Development of the intermediate time scale between the first intervention and the long-term vision, by mapping project scenarios in one and two ge-nerations’ time.
Process ReportDescription and visualization of the processes - both innovation and design process - including an individual statement about the process by each team member.

4. Structure of the Course
Phase A
4.1 Phases, Goals and Deliverables
PreparationEach disciplinary team prepares a presentation of approx. 5min (movie, slide show, live performance adapted to videoconference-format) to introduce the elop* participants and their goals and motivation to be in the programme. The performance will be presented at the Virtual Kick Off.
Virtual Kick-Off | September 18th 2014, 4pm CEST by VC Immersion, Communication, InterestsThe Phase A starts with the Virtual Kick Off and includes the time until all participants meet in Switzerland for the Physical Kick Off. In this phase the students work within their disciplinary group or individually. With the Virtual Kick Off session all participants get to know the virtual communication tools that will be used throughout the whole project elop*7. This first phase allows an immersion into the complexity of the topic from each disciplinary point of view. This important background information will secure a well-founded start into the project and to elaborate afterwards adequate goals in a transdisciplinary way. In a virtual cross-disciplinary discussion you will share your readings, interests and start visualizing the information you got. Task Phase A | Hand In October 3rd 2014 midnight CEST
1. Transdisciplinary Hero (individual):Who is your personal transdisciplinary and transcultural hero? To whom would you associate exemplary transdisciplinary /-cultural characteristics? It can be any person, famous or not. Prepare a short presentation with an image of this person and explain why you have chosen him/her as your hero. Format of hand-in task 1: Layout on A3, printed and digital (.jpg/.pdf)

Physical Kick-Off at Finhaut CH | CW 41 20135 Detailed Program see page 28.
Goals1.Team- and trustbuildingBuild a profound social link among the students as a basis for a solid colla-boration during the course of the project. Several team spirit activities will be organized during the week.
2. Common understanding and first conceptMain goal is to get to a common transdisciplinary understanding of the topic and the task. Therefore the exchange of the results of phase A is es-sential. Each team enunciates a hypothesis as a result of their research work and develops possible scenarios. A common language will be developed as a basis for the whole process.A first roadmap has to be set up including a vision, scenarios, concepts for a first intervention. Bothe the vision and the concept for first intervention need to be represented in an appropriate graphic, volumetric, schematic... way.
3. Stakeholders and local specificitiesThe students are given the unique opportunity to meet the clients and users represented by the Community of Finhaut, the association Espace Mont-Blanc and Alpiq energy. Thereby the teams have to do on-site research and collect information supported as much as possible by the academic team to become acquainted with the local specificities. The goal is to get familia-rised with the local situation and boundary conditions of the area.
Phase B
nary team. For example “sustainability” may be interpreted in a different way by a sociologist, an engineer or an architect. This term should be defined by each disciplinary group. Other possible terms: borders, environment, atmos-phere, concept, efficiency, innovation, density, safety, strategy, vision...Define each term in words and graphically (sketch or pictogram) and re-present each on a white sheet of paper that you scan.Format of hand-in task 2: Layout on A4, paper form & digital form (.jpg)

4. Project PlanningDefinition of the project’s process outline/plan: At the end of the kick-off week, the teams are to present a project plan including work packages, time line, definition of milestones, team resource planning, schedule of further activities, etc. The presentation of the project plan to faculty, mentors, and experts concludes the kick-off week, dismissing the students to their home universities with comments and recommendations for the further course of the project. Each team has to agree on a possible timeline compatible with other academic obligations at the home university including regular mee-tings with the team coaches and the local coach. Process planning includes as well the organization of the team process, the definition of milestones, and the development of a transdisciplinary decision-taking-process.
5. Communication and Collaboration ToolsDuring the week several communication and collaboration tools will be tes-ted and presented to get ready for the virtual team collaboration following the kick off week.The students get an introduction in collaborating and communicating by ICT (tools, methods, tips). Therefore, all students attend workshops on how to use the different tools (video conferencing, blog, data sharing, presentation, idea formation, decision making, and design process management).
Sharing visions elop*6 (Jonathan Musy)
InputsSeveral inputs by the stakeholders and experts with a focus on the alpine specificities, transdisciplinary working methods and process planning are provided to facilitate the project kick-off with respect to a common nomen-clature. Essential aspects of the project are addressed by the inputs, given by coaches and experts.
24 Cooperation Project Bern University of Applied Sciences | HES-SO hepia Geneva | elop*alliance
Coaching The coaching is based on a double coaching system: we distinguish between transdisciplinary team coaching and local disciplinary coaching. Both are taking an important role during the whole project.
Each team will be assigned a coach or coaches from different disciplines (transdisciplinary team coaches) in the role of tutors. They will follow closely the development of the teams’ work throughout the whole semester, will join the weekly meetings and are contact persons in case of conflicts. In pa-rallel every disciplinary local group has its local coach that follows the work of all his / her students as well in regular meetings.

PROJECT BASED LEARNING
A common aspect to all elop* projects
are the real circumstances with real
stakeholders in which they take place.
The actual challenges tackled by the
elop* actors (students or professionals)
guarantees that an applied research
approach takes place.Deliverables Forum | End of Kick-Off Presentation, October 11th 2014 Presentation (NO ppt) with process planning wall, conceptual models, sketches, schemes, diagrams, movie etc. showing the following aspects:A common vision for the development of Valley of Trient and Finhaut. Visuali-zation of characteristics and formulation of common statements.• Visualization of first common conceptual intervention following the per-
spective of the vision.• A map of interests showing the expectations and interests of each team
member, emphasize related interests and interdependencies.• Visualization of the planned team process including milestones.• Definition of the teams‘ goal and deliverables for review I with a per-
spective on the final output you want to reach.

Work in Progress | CW 42 2014 – CW 3 2015 Back at Home University | Virtual Collaboration
The goal of the third phase is to develop the design, to formulate expertise, to create innovative solutions – and to get physical. After the introductory days, the students return to their home universities. At the same time, they form local teams at the different locations to exchange basic information useful for all project teams. All basic data and project documentations are managed over the elop* information platform (dropbox). Logbook (Blog) https//:elop7.blogspot.chAll teams will feed and exchange information through a blog. This is to be understood as a logbook and an exchange platform during the whole process of the project and will show the development of the project. The teams upload weekly their main working progresses. This will allow the team coaches to follow the teams’ process and to comment on the project development.
Regular Coaching SessionsThe teams will present the stage of their work on two intermediate reviews by using video-conferencing systems. Between the reviews, the teams orga-nize weekly team meetings and coaching sessions together with the team coaches and in each student will share the project development in the local disciplinary group with the local coach.
InputsDuring the semester/term punctual virtual inputs may be organized on spe-cific topics.
GoalAll teams present the results and the state of the project in relation to the self-defined goals with a perspective on the final output formulated during the Physical Kick Off and rational of decision taking.

BLENDED LEARNINGCOLLABORATION & COMMUNICATION
...
BLENDED LEARNING
Collaboration and communication in a
multicultural working environment with
geographically displaced teams is a chal-
lenge overcome at elop* through the ap-
plication of a blended learning model.
Physical collaboration periods, with team
members located in the same geographi-
cal environment, typically take place at
the beginning and at the end of the
design process.
Virtual collaboration, both synchronous
and asynchronous, is enabled by the ap-
propriate use of information and commu-
nication technologies (ICT) during most of
the project development process.

I Vectors of Development
A - Nature
In the past and nowadaysThe Trient valley is marked by a steep gradient with the presence of scree, avalanche corridors and rock slides. Between these corridors, the land has been fashioned by agriculture. This method of exploiting the land has thrown up a number of structures, including mountain pastures and gra-zing land, forests and cultivated fields. Although today agriculture is no longer the main economy, it remains present as a secondary activity. Further-more, the structures of the land and the features of the landscape are part of the collective memory.
This natural mosaic bound up with farming has a tendency to evolve. Thus, the abandonment of agricultural activity results in fallow land and chan-ges to plant life. Fallow land occupies areas more difficult to farm, particularly agricultural terraces, steep slopes, and land close to rivers. In recent years the forest cover (larch, beech, spruce) has increased, tending to close off visual communication between the valley bottom and high mountain pastures behind banks of larch and spruce and riverine forests.
Indeed riverine forest forms a large and quite narrowly defined wooded continuum along the Eau Noire mountain stream, which is more open in the Arve valley. Other plant structures are represented mainly by isolated trees, accompanying dwellings and fruit trees.
Mountain farming is extremely precarious. It demands exhausting human endeavour. Moun-tain people left their farms at the end of the 20th century to go and work on the plain in new indus-tries. High-altitude farming plots were gradually abandoned. There remains today a wide diversity of agricultural activities which, from high to lower altitude, range from pastures and agricultural terraces to orchards, meadows and fields in the valley bottom. The cereal growing which used to occupy terraces supported by dry stone walls today no longer exists, Fallow land has taken over but is impoverishing the biodiversity of these surroundings. While there are no longer many professional farmers, there remains a small num-ber of temporary farmers who maintain the land as a secondary activity. The AOC appellation of the Swiss cheese dish raclette underpins a system of dairy farming divided between breeding and cheese production. Current changes in farming, particularly the trend towards consumers opting for local produce, offer scope for new possibilities.
The natural backdrop of the Trient valley is well preserved, since few development projects such as ski slopes, ski-lifts, etc, have impacted on the territory. Ski slopes are situated in Les Marécottes and Vallorcine.

ObjectivesAnticipate risks in the mountains related to global warmingClimate change greatly affects mountain regions. The melting of permafrost, the shrinking of gla-ciers, landslides and strong precipitation threaten valleys and infrastructures. The cost of safety in the Alps is set to increase considerably.
Preserve the beauty of the landscapeWhat attracts tourists to the mountains is the hope of finding unspoilt nature.Nature also provides a wonderful setting for those living in the Alps. The landscape is our most precious asset. More buildings and infrastructures will pose a threat to the quality of landscapes.
Support mountain farmingHelp to preserve cultivated areas and pastoral activities with a view to maintaining an economy via the production of local produce and flavours, preserve the landscape and perpetuate agricultural values.
New ParadigmesShowcase the region’s special features Agriculture: local productionAgro-tourism close to nature and farmland opens up new development possibilities.
Energy transition and conservation The emergence of green energy considerably increases pressure on nature and the landscape. What are the consequences of energy transition for the Trient valley? How can conservation of nature and the landscape be guaranteed?
Landscape and energy Develop the potential of wind and solar energy

B - Urbanity
In the past and nowadays Situated on the route between Chamonix and Martigny the Trient valley became increasingly busy at the turn of the 20th century, notably as a result of the stagecoach in 1861 and the railway in 1906, both of which promoted its accessibility. It was a summer rendezvous for the aristocracy and the bourgeoisie. Finhaut then became a renowned tourist resort on a par with Zermatt. The architecture of this region (particularly the villages of Châtelard, Trient, Les Marécottes and Salvan) is strongly marked by large buildings typi-cal of the architecture of the golden age of Alpine tourism.
The Baedecker guide in 1913 described the Fin-haut site as charming, very busy, and one of the major resorts of its day, with a fine view of the Trient valley, the Trient glacier, and the Aiguille du Tour. The village of Finhaut was the most urbani-sed spot in this region with 19 hotels in business from 1900 to 1930.
The region’s urban development gathered pace with the age of tourism and in particular with the construction of hotels in the region: in Châtelard, Trient and Finhaut.
Finhaut’s urban development is characterised by:• a steep gradient traversed by a main road• spaces favouring indoor-outdoor relations:
gardens, summer houses, terraces, balconies• the development of large tourist buildings int-
roducing a dense and compact urban model• at least two central spaces: a centre at the
bottom of the village, a centre at the top of the village, and the station
• shops and varied activities
Today, the large buildings have been or are being renovated (thanks to the wealth of the commune) and converted into collective housing. However these apartments are not highly sought-after. Urban development of the village of Finhaut is fo-cused more in the upper part of the village where there are individual chalets (low-density zone).
Today Finhaut has around 400 inhabitants in-cluding people working on the Nant de Drance worksite. In 2015, this work will come to an end. The commune must prepare for the future and be an attractive place to live capable of maintaining the infrastructures currently in place in the village: 3 restaurants, 2 hotels, 3 hostels, 1 supermarket, 1 souvenir shop, 1 petrol station, 1 post office, 1 multipurpose sports centre, 1 covered swimming pool, 2 banks, 1 railway station, 1 exhibition galle-ry, 1 reading room, 1 primary school, 1 nursery, 1 hair salon.
“The lifestyle of those living in the Alpine space is no different from that of town dwellers. Everyone has the same needs.” Thomas Egger

ObjectivesKeep homes lived in throughout the year and develop a sustainable local economyIt is important to underline the value of the main residence in mountain villages and to facilitate its existence, in order to maintain the number of inhabitants, shops and schools, and life in the mountains generally.It is a question of finding synergies between resi-dents and tourists, valorising and facilitating the main residence in the mountains and limiting the number of closed shutters and ghost villages.
Showcase the history and urban development of villages and the authenticity of the built environmentShowcase existing historical buildings, fashionable meeting places, local savoir-faire, locally-produced materials, local flavours, etc.
Clarify the status of public / common / private spacesClarify the central part(s) of the village, including its station Encourage porosity, pathways between construc-tion, public space, land management, the pre-servation of open space, local agriculture. It is necessary to use different types of public space and intermediate space to enhance the landscape of the village itself, its fringes, and its relationship with the wider landscape.
New ParadigmesSustainable town in the mountains?The urban fabric of Finhaut is a model of density. It would be possible to envisage developing here a small town / exemplary mountain district. Can this model of a dense and compact urban fabric be put to good use to recreate urban development in a more close-knit format?
“The town and the mountain are geographical categories which modernity has tried hard to place in opposition. There are some remarkable illustrations of this in painting and literature, but also in philosophy. As a result, town planning and regional development have been influenced by this legacy for centuries. For a number of years, projects and ideas have grown up which seek to change this state of affairs.” Bernard Debarbieux
Densification while retaining a village atmos-phereBuild in line with the characteristics of the territory and the landscape, drawing inspiration from the existing urban model.
Build a public space in the mountains (villages and urban fringes)

C -Society
In the past and nowadaysThe inhabitants of the Trient valley have often had to adapt and diversify their activities. In the golden age of tourism, mountain farmers became hotel owners, porters, launderers, coach drivers, guides and shopkeepers. At that time, the population of the valley increased due to the flourishing activity of the tourist industry.
In 1920 the population increased once more. This rise coincided with the start of work on the Barbe-rine dam.
In 1970, the population rose from 12 incomers to 254. These Italian immigrants came to build the Emosson dam.
In 2010, for work on the Nant de Drance, the number of foreigners increased to around 400. In 2015 construction work will come to an end and the population of Finhaut will fall once again.
Since 2010 the commune has been looking ahead to its future.On 22 December 2009 and 22 January 2010 the district council of the Commune of Finhaut presented a development project based on the construction of a SPA and thermal baths, together with hotel and accommodation structures with a capacity of approximately 400 beds. This development project caught the attention of the Commune’s citizens and paved the way for reflections of a more general nature. A number of them decided to set up a think-tank to consider this proposal as well as additional or alternative developments which would best meet the needs of the population. To this end, they suggested that local residents should attend a meeting to make known their own views and ideas concerning the type of development they would like to see in their Commune.

ObjectivesStrengthen the identity of the region around Mont-BlancThis region of Switzerland is historically and morphologically tied to the Mont-Blanc massif. The aim is to strengthen the identity, independence and coherence of this cross-border territory.
Encourage integrated tourism compatible with resources and the environment.Fight against “disneylandisation” of the territory and imagine a type of tourist development which fits in with the location, the inhabitants, the environment and its resources. It is important to develop a local, steady and durable economy.
Cultivate community spirit, the cooperative modelThe management of communal assets was in the past so precious in the organisation of society. We need to draw inspiration from those models (model of Le Bisse, the collective garden, farmers’ associations, etc) to implement a sustainable life model.
Populate the mountainTake into consideration the possibilities of tele-working and lifestyle conveniences
New ParadigmesOrganise a society around its skillsRecognise the values of inhabitants and build the future with them. The best way to introduce sus-tainable development is to unite different interest groups within a network.
Educate: from the “global” to the “local”Improve the level of education of the region’s inhabitants and train them to be entrepreneurial in the region, to trace out a future (and not follow or simply put up with development).
Live differently - Live together. Return to a way of life supported by mutual assis-tance, sharing, education.Live in synergy with one’s region and invent a local way of life.

D - Infrastructure
In the past and nowadaysA mountains / plains relationshipUntil 1861, the valley of Finhaut / Marécottes / Salvan was very isolated. The people of the villages went to Martigny on foot for fairs and markets.
The stagecoach road between Martigny and ChamonixThe stagecoach road testifying to the boom in transalpine travel was built in 1861. The new road from Chamonix to Martigny passed through the villages of Vallorcine, Chatelard, Finhaut, Les Ma-récottes and Salvan, as far as Martigny.
The railwayAround 1900 railways started to appear in the mountains and, thanks to its popularity with tou-rists, the Trient valley was one of the first regions to have a cog railway. In 1906, the railway line from Martigny to Chamonix was opened. The villa-ge of Finhaut then became a famous holiday resort for the aristocracy and the bourgeoisie. Between the two world wars, the railway line was electrified thanks to construction of the first Barberine dam.
Rivalries between main roadsUp until the inter-war period there were two main roads connecting Martigny to Chamonix, name-ly the Martigny-Châtelard road via Salvan and Finhaut, and the Martigny-Châtelard road via the Forclaz Pass. Growing use of the car called for wider roads than those in existence. For financial reasons, the Canton was unable to subsidise the repair of all roads. It was therefore decided in 1942 that the road would pass through Forclaz and link up with Finhaut, since the road through Salvan and Finhaut was too expensive (costly implementation of anti-avalanche protections). In addition, the road followed the railway track.The road link between Martigny and Finhaut became topical again in the 1980s. In fact, these neighbouring communes, situated in the same valley, had no direct road link. As a result, if an inhabitant of Salvan wished to visit a relative in Finhaut, they would have to go down to Martigny
and then take the Forclaz Pass to get to Finhaut. In other words 33 kilometres of mountain road, whe-reas in reality the two villages are separated by only five kilometres at most. The new road would have helped to create a tourist route in the Trient valley and would have placed Finhaut directly on the road to Chamonix. In 1982, the Grand Council refused to pay for this Sfr40 million project for a 5 kilometre section of road.
A valley cut off by the roadA consequence of this choice of main road bet-ween Martigny and Chatelard was to isolate the different communes and position Finhaut in a cul de sac. This isolation created a deficit in terms of development in the region. One of the only reasons for going to Finhaut today is to visit the Emosson dam. Today, the historic road network representative of development over the past 150 years is intact and ripe for rediscovery!
A valley connected by railThe village of Finhaut is situated on a strategic main route between the two towns of Chamonix and Martigny. The railway is a powerful landmark in this area. It connects villages in the same valley not served by road. Finhaut is 30 minutes from Martigny and 40 minu-tes from Chamonix by train.
49elop*7 Project - Alpine Mutations - Focus Finhaut / Switzerland
ObjectivesOpen up Finhaut and re-establish the Chamonix – Martigny connection via FinhautReactivate historic lines of communication: the old mule track, the stagecoach road, the Cook route, etc
Give preference to sustainable mobility: rail-road traffic and public transportRethink the region’s accessibility in keeping with the geomorphology of the terrain, raise the profile of historic communication routes.
Encourage vertical inter-accessibility between: the plain / the hillside / the mountainEstablish development strategies and synergies between these altitudes and environments.
Form an integrated network with cable transport and rail transportCable car train, funicular railway, etc
Make crossing the Alps feasible and desirable Tour du Mont-Blanc TMB, GR5, and the Via Alpina
New ParadigmesA car-free valley? A Chamonix - Finhaut – Marti-gny metroWhat might the benefits be if Finhaut were con-nected to French and Swiss towns and national networks by rail? How could this link be made more efficient? More effective?
Build the Mont-Blanc road Can Finhaut be opened up by building a road infrastructure between Finhaut and Les Marécottes and restoring coherence to the valley as far as the Pisse-Vache waterfall in the Rhône Valley, which marks the point of entry to Valais?
Upgrade modes of travel Offer a high-quality, non-motorised transport net-work. Redefine urban travel and access to points of interest close to the village.

E - Energy
In the past and nowadaysThere are more than 200 dams in Switzerland which use mountain water to produce electricity. The exploitation of water in Alpine regions meets ever growing demand for electrical power. The dif-ferent developments of dams in Emosson testify to the technical and visionary projects of engineers encouraged by the Swiss Confederation and the French government.
1925, Barberine dam developmentAt the start of the 20th century, the Barberine dam, situated at an altitude of nearly 1900 metres, was a shining example of engineering virtuosity. It greatly contributed to Switzerland’s energy self-sufficiency and to the electrification of rail trans-port.
1975, Emosson development In the 1970s, the Emosson dam was built. The waters of the high French valleys of the Arve and the Eau Noire and the Swiss rivers of the Val Ferret and Trient valley are drained by three free-flowing collectors. Water accumulated in the Emosson re-servoir is used in two stages over the 1400 metre height difference between the dam and the Rhône Valley, with a power station in Vallorcine (France) and one in Martigny-La Bâtiaz.
2015, Nant de Drance development This involved installing a pumping-turbine station between the dam at old Emosson and the Emos-son dam to guarantee the security of the hydropo-wer network even at peak times, thus ensuring a reliable supply of electricity.
Total production of the Emosson-Vallorcine and Le Châtelard-La Bâtiaz falls is 870 GWh, or 250 GWh in summer and 620 GWh in winter. Energy for pumping at Les Esserts-Emosson represents 110 GWh a year.(1 GWh = 1 million kWh)
The Emosson dam produces a great deal of energy for the national grid. However, there appear to be no synergies between the region and this produc-tion of energy. While the use of water is excellent, timber production is under-exploited, and the pro-duction of solar and wind power is non-existent.
Could the Finhaut region become a model of ener-gy production? In terms of production? But also in terms of consumption? How could Finhaut become part of an efficient energy policy?
51elop*7 Project - Alpine Mutations - Focus Finhaut / Switzerland
ObjectivesTarget energy efficiencyOptimise the production of energy (hydropower, solar, biogas, timber, etc) Significantly reduce energy requirements (heating, electricity) Use renewable energy
Work on local energy with an energy planUse local energy and create synergies in the villa-ges
Exploit natural resources on a sustainable basisTimber from the forests, exploitation of water, the sun, the wind, etc
New ParadigmesAchieve the 2000-Watt societyThe 2000-Watt society, a concept which reflects the determination to build a fair and sustainable society. Every inhabitant of the Earth is entitled to the same amount of energy, both today and in the future.For the future: consume less or produce more. To-day, in a mixed context where security of supply, respect for the environment and economic impera-tives are competing factors, resources need to be managed in an innovative way.
Contracts to encourage energy efficiency improve-mentsThere are research programmes to finance energy efficiency improvements. The energy-producing company finances energy efficiency upgrades and the production company is compensated by the difference in energy consumed over a number of years.
New forms of energy production, a new speciality of the Valais canton?With their experience of dams, the people of the canton of Valais have a better idea than most of how to fine-tune the balance between power and pollution. Could the canton of Valais adopt a dif-ferent profile, not simply as a region which plays host to new energies, but as a leader, by optimi-sing the production of wind power, solar power and dams? By optimising their resources, such as water, the sun and the wind.

II Overview Valley of Trient
53elop*7 Project - Alpine Mutations - Focus Finhaut / Switzerland
Vernayaz The newest municipality in the Valais, Vernayaz was formed in 1912, when the municipality of Salvan was split into two. It contains the Trient gorge, eroded by a glacial river, the two Gueuroz bridges, among the highest in Europe (200m), and the spectacular Pissevache waterfall, plunging almost 115 metres down the mountainside.
Salvan On reaching Salvan, visitors discover a little plateau dotted with chalets and stone-built former hotels that date back to the late 19th and early 20th century, when tourism was in its heyday here. Above it lies the ski resort of Les Marécottes, a traditional mountain village with an alpine zoo, a natural swim-ming pool and a ski area. The environment in this region is carefully protected and its scenic attractions include the Van valley and the Dailley gorge.
Finhaut A major alpine resort in the early 20th century, this village is nowadays well- known for its protected natural heritage, for the Emosson reservoir and its three dams, and for the Le Châtelard attraction park, which has the stee-pest two-cabin funicular in the world. The Vieux-Emosson valley contains a very different type of attraction: over 800 dinosaur footprints, dating back about 250 million years.
Trient The Trient glacier and the Col de la Forclaz are the best-known features of this locality, a little corner of paradise set in a landscape of unspoilt beauty. The village is on the Tour du Mont Blanc hiking trail and welcomes large num-bers of walkers every summer. In winter, Trient becomes the ideal base camp for cross-country skiing enthusiasts.
Vallorcine Situated just over the border in France, Vallorcine is the gateway to the Pays du Mont Blanc, which contains the Aiguilles Rouges and Vallon de Bérard nature reserves. This collection of hamlets enjoys a carefully-preserved natural setting, and has maintained its traditions. Easy access to the Domaine de Balme ski area makes this resort an ideal centre for sports/activity holidays for all the family, in summer as well as winter.

III Tools
Video ConferencingVideo conferencing is a collaborative tool that let you stay in touch with your team using video and audio. It is an essential tool to share work and discusss ideas. There are many opensource programs available like google hangout and skype.
elop* recommends the use of Scopia (Avaya®) – a professional videoconferencing tool – and offers to each team a private Scopia Meeting Room. This short guide will help you get started using Scopia. Mandatory preparationTo get the most out of your Video Conference here are some useful points.
A. Team preparation: make sure your team has access to all important files before the meeting begins. An agenda with specific topics and timetable is a indispensable tool to organize your meetings. Asign a moderator for each meeting that will help to structure your team`s Video Conference. Agree on a team member to take notes of important topics and discussions du-ring the Video Conference.
B. Individual preparation: find a quiet workplace and avoid disturbances for the duration of the Video Conference. Remember a good internet connection is required. For good video and audio quality a cable connection is much more better than wireless. Check that your camera recording is clear (lighting, positioning, background...), and that the audio quality is good (background noise, volume...). For elop* we recommend using a headset with headphones and a mircophone.
C. During the meeting: communicate clearly and avoid speaking at the same time as your team members. Always mute your microphone when you are not speaking. Using Icons and the chat box helps to communicate with the speaker and the rest of your team. Create your own icons or use the one‘s below.
How to setup a Scopia Video Conference Scopia is easy to use. To help setup your first Video Conference follow these simple steps:
A. Instal yourself in a calm room where you can connect to a STABLE internet connection best with a LAN-cable – Wifi-connections are often unstable what can cause interruptions!!!
