Kunstmuseum Basel | Lecture Hall | Picassoplatz Entrance
The new buildings at the site of the former children’s hospital will accommodate exclusive urban apartments while the Musikerwohnhaus in St. Johann re-uses and expands a former industrial building to create subsidized housing. Vollenweider and Gisler discuss questions such as: What architectural basis is needed by housing concepts of our times? How do we want to live? What are the differences between the middle and edge of a city?
