His task was notably defending the restoration and extension project by Jean Nouvel together with a public-private partnership with the oil magnate Jean-Claude Gandur. These plans were though rejected together with a museological project he presented shortly before the referendum on February 28, 2016, by the Genevan population. Since, he participated as one of the consultants in the elaboration of a new project by a group of extern experts under the direction of Jacques Hainard, the former director of the ethnographic museum in Geneva and the Musée d'ethnographie de Neuchâtel, and Roger Mayou, the former director of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum in Geneva.

From 2010 to 2016, he directed the project of renovation and expansion of the Museum of Art and History of Geneva entrusted to the Atelier Jean Nouvel [3] and drafted a scientific and cultural project.
