Join us for a unique architectural tour of Basel, where we’ll explore a pressing and current challenge: densification. We will learn about the innovative ways Basel is addressing its limited space and growing urban population. With its restricted territory, Basel has set an ambitious goal of expanding inward, rather than outward.

On this tour, we’ll visit several contemporary buildings that offer creative solutions to this challenge. These structures not only tackle densification but also exemplify high-quality design and architectural beauty, giving us the opportunity to appreciate both functionality and aesthetics.

Note: Afterward, we’ll have an aperitif at the Amber Bar (Kaserne roof top), reflecting on the experience and to enjoy the summer evening.
