Chapter 13: The Maison de la Paix, or the Art of Rounding the Angles
The six petals of azure glass, strung like a garland along the train tracks in Sécheron, are a manifesto for peace: the fluid, sinuous structures reflected in each other symbolise both the fragility and complexity of peace, and its supremacy over the banality of violence.

Chapter 14: CERN: The boson finds a home

Conclusion: Geneva in the Age of the Office
These lines were written as “International Geneva” prepares to celebrate its first century, which began in 1919 with the arrival of the ILO, the only one of all the international organizations created by the Treaty of Versailles to have survived until the present with its name and basic configuration intact.
