The built city only becomes alive through a variety of uses and the individual appropriation of space. Thereby, the culture of the built environment and a cultivated city life can merge symbiotically. Barbara Buser is recognized as an architect experienced in the re-use/conversion of industrial sites. Martin Brändle is engaged in efforts to carefully transform urban industrial and settlement areas in a socially responsible way – determined by the participations of the respective residents.
