What is Baukultur?

The designed living environment surrounds us wherever we may currently be. Hence, high-quality Baukultur is important for a good life.

Baukultur sees the entire designed living environment as a coherent whole, from existing buildings to contemporary design, from small handcrafted details to buildings and open spaces to large-scale infrastructures, and from the planning process through construction and operation to reuse. What is and is not high-quality Baukultur is always open to discussion. There are many initiatives to improve the quality of our designed living environment.
