Project idea

Imagine a vibrant hubin Basel, where the spirit of Rosa Luxemburg ignites dynamic dialogue and social transformation!
This project isn't just about constructing a building; it is about a formally designed statement of intent, a commitment to promoting democratic participation, social justice and international solidarity. A place that reflects Basel's rich cultural diversity while providing a platform for critical political discourse, community empowerment and the promotion of local initiatives. This is where ideas and collaborations are born and a better future takes shape.

Project description

This project demonstrates a thoughtful approach to architectural problem-solving, carefully balancing form and function to address the site's unique context.
Given its location in the tri-border area, near the German and French borders, it's also about defining the project's solution to effectively meet the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation's needs while engaging in a meaningful dialogue with the surrounding urban environment. The design navigates the site's architectural diversity with sensitivity, aiming to transform potential challenges into positive interactions. Ultimately, the goal is to deliver a space that is both distinctive and well-integrated into the fabric of Basel.

Technical information

Considering the technical specifications, this project involves a detailed exploration of how form, space, and technology work together to create a high-performing, adaptable, and inspiring environment. The design takes into account structural principles, material science, and sustainable technologies to optimize building performance and user comfort.
It develops a framework that addresses the functional requirements of the program while also embodying the Foundation's values of transparency, accessibility, and forward-thinking design. From the foundational elements to the facade systems, the technical details are carefully considered to promote an efficient, resilient, and aesthetically pleasing building.
