They talk about us !
Steph Cruchon tells us about Genius Loci
Hidden gems that only locals know about
How does it work?
Your citizens are “Genius”!
Usually funded by towns, villages or regions, the Genius Loci Medals offer citizens passionate about history, architecture or culture, a simple and effective tool to share their knowledge, in context. They become the guardians of the memory of the places.
Our Genius are historians, photographers, teachers, travelers, architects, retirees, artists, passionate about heritage, culture and nature...
Where to place the medals
Genius Loci's mission is to enhance places that are still hidden or little known. A natural curiosity, an old house, a bench, a statue, a tomb, a village square, a remarkable tree...
The medals have been designed to fit in elegantly almost anywhere, including as close as possible to the object of attraction Geniuses should always ask permission before placing it. (See it Genius Charter)
AboutGenius Loci
2000 years ago, the Romans thought that every place was protected by a Genius Loci, - the spirit of the place.
Today, the “genius loci” designates the particular atmosphere of a place, its character, its history. The term is particularly used in architecture.
Now we’ve taken up this notion to create a rewarding and easy-to-use tool for cities, community organizations and individual citizens, to promote and digitize their favorite hidden attractions and secrets, while preserving heritage for all to access.
Created in Switzerland by the brains behind Design Sprint Ltd, Genius Loci Ltd offers the possibility of making hyperlocal destinations accessible to a wide audience, at a very affordable cost.
