Veranstaltungsdetails
COME ON IN!
Open House Basel offers insights behind otherwise closed doors! Who wouldn't want to take a look inside a private home whose doors are normally closed to strangers? Can you imagine visiting a late baroque city palace like the Wildensteinerhof from 1777, the new apartments on Gempenstrasse in Birsfelden or the Helvetia Campus? The "Open House Basel - Architecture for All" association and its many helpers make these wishes possible.
OPEN HOUSE BASEL opens the doors of the most fascinating buildings in and around Basel on Saturday, May 24 and Sunday, May 25. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore architectural landmarks and hidden gems in the greater Basel area. These are otherwise only accessible to the public to a limited extent. They can talk directly to the architects or the residents and users of the buildings. An opportunity for everyone to take a look behind the facades of over 100 buildings, rediscover the city and experience the diversity of how people work and live here.
ARCHITECTURE FOR EVERYONE
Open House Basel offers everyone the opportunity to discover and experience architecture - regardless of age, origin, education or income. Because architecture affects us all. It shapes and changes our society and has an impact on the way we live, work and move. OPEN HOUSE BASEL thus contributes to raising public awareness and promotes dialog between experts and laypeople. The visits, guided tours and supporting events are free of charge for all participants.
WHAT IS SHOWN
The focus of the program is on contemporary architecture with a considerable number of residential buildings and public buildings. OPEN HOUSE BASEL shows outstanding individual buildings such as the two high-rise buildings on the Helvetia Campus, one of which is new, the other 70 years old and newly renovated, the Obere Widen housing estate in Arlesheim, 25-year-old terraced houses in solid wood construction, an apartment built into an indoor swimming pool, the latest building project in the historic Bäumlihof estate and the wine warehouse in Lysbüchel, which has been converted into apartments.
OPEN HOUSE BASEL focuses on important urban development areas such as Lysbüchel, Westfeld, Erlenmatt and Birsstadt, which represent the latest changes to Basel's urban space. In addition, there are many award-winning residential buildings, clever conversions, hidden courtyard buildings and trouvailles to discover that exemplify the careful further development of urban space.
