Historical Information about the
Espace Rousseau
Upon the request of several Rousseau experts, the State Council supported the
creation of an association for the creation of Espace Jean-Jacques Rousseau" in
1995. Presided over by Professor Christian Lalive dEpinay, the association worked
endlessly to gather the necessary political and financial support to endorse and realise
the Espace project. JKdesign, a firm specialised in museum designs, won the
competition for the layout of the Espace Rousseau, and created its contemporary
setting. Thanks to the Dpartement de lamnagement, de lquipement et du
logement of the canton of Geneva and the assistance of many other private and
public institutions, the Espace Rousseau finally opened in June 2002.
