It may seem strange to devote a chapter of a book about the architectural history of Geneva's international quarter to the buildings of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) — given the absence of architecture they represent.

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. Its owner, the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies (IHEID), is in fact a product of the peace of the 1920s and 1930s, a peace as brief as it was fruitful.
