Baukultur Schweiz is an interactive platform dedicated to the discourse on the designed living environment in Switzerland. It explores how architecture, urban planning, and infrastructure shape the way we live and how we can address pressing social challenges through high-quality Baukultur. The platform serves as a hub for knowledge exchange, inspiration, and collaboration across all scales of design—from handcrafted details to urban infrastructure.
Baukultur Schweiz provides four key functions: Case Studies for All and for Schoolchildren invite users to document and share significant places in Switzerland through short videos and reflections, creating a collective knowledge base of built spaces. Events highlight contemporary discussions and initiatives shaping architecture and urban planning. Dialogue facilitates discussions on critical questions, connects ideas, projects, and policies through various channel and other discussion forums. Advice offers guidance from cantons, municipalities, universities, and institutions, showcasing practical examples of how high-quality architectural and urban design enhances the livability of Swiss cities and communities.
By promoting an inclusive conversation on the built environment, Baukultur Schweiz bridges the gap between professionals, policymakers, and the public, encouraging active participation in shaping Switzerland’s future spaces.
