The European roots of Baukultur: An Introduction
This introductory session assumes a specific format, combining a short Introduction to the whole series, an engaging contribution from Sarah Wigglesworth and a roundtable discussion with members of the NRP 81 Steering Committee. The genealogical perspective it opens is first addressed from the present, by questioning its necessity and revealing its opportunities, from political, social, and cultural points of view. On this perspective, this opening aims to highlight the lack of visibility surrounding the potential ramifications of the concept of Baukultur at the European level, while also contextualising the various related experiences and debates related to it within the European architectural and urban traditions.
Introduction by NRP 81 Steering Committee President
Paola Viganò, Lausanne
Invited speaker
Sarah Wigglesworth, London
Discussants:
Paola Viganò, Pierre Caye, Andri Gerber, Caspar Schärer
