Baukultur

The central square in Biel: building façades in the background encircle the square and there is a restaurant with outside seating. At the front, a lady and two children are sitting at a tram stop with a bench, red supporting columns and a large roof. They are feeding pigeons.

Baukultur concept

Everyone shapes their living environment, whether as a resident or architect. At the same time, the living environment defines the cohabitation of each individual. High-quality Baukultur leads to liveable and lovable cities and villages that change in line with societal requirements while preserving their historical peculiarities at the same time. It is centred on social needs and resource-sparing actions and adds economic value.

Dialogue

Everyone can help determine how we live together when Baukultur is debated and negotiated.

Quality

High-quality Baukultur results from a quality-oriented approach to space.
