In the run-up to the Architecture Biennale in Venice, President Alain Berset opened the first public event of the Davos Baukultur Alliance under the title "Creating Vibrant Communities for All ‒ Spotlight on Affordability". In a showcase on Baukultur, Alejandro Aravena (ELEMENTAL), Christian Benimana (MASS Design Group) as well as Lyndon Neri and Rossana Hu (Neri&Hu Design) demonstrated by means of a particular project how high-quality Baukultur is being implemented across the globe. This was followed by a panel discussion among leading members of the Davos Baukultur Alliance. Together with the audience, they debated how governments, business and civil society can work together to advance a quality-oriented approach to planning, construction, and management of communities that embraces history and culture while also prioritizing affordability.
On the second day, members established year one priorities and agreed on activities and outcomes of the Davos Baukultur Alliance. The topics "Affordability and Social Value Creation", "Resilience and Climate Adaptation" as well as "Sustainability and Circularity" were discussed in depth by the Alliance members and examined for concrete, common fields of action.
