Meet at Tinguely Fountain https://maps.app.goo.gl/2QVVXbYws9f9jMu66
Hosted by: S AM Swiss Architecture Museum, 
Guided by: Linda Cassein Stoian

Join us for a curated series of architectural explorations across Basel; this excursion is called, “At the Fringe: Muttenz & Münchenstein.” The excursion peels back the layers of the city’s industrial and modernist heritage to reveal how contemporary architects are repurposing the past to create sustainable, cooperative spaces for the future.

At the 16-story (60m) cubic FHNW Campus building in Muttenz by pool Architects, take in the vertigo-inducing atrium views accessed by six staircases that crisscross the atrium over three floors. In Münchenstein Christoph Merian Garden, we visit the extensive parklands that were originally used as farmland since the Middle Ages. We visit a rammed clay building by Barcelo Baumann and a former barn redesigned as a restaurant by Miller & Maranta.

  • Duration: 3 Hours with coffee break
  • Capacity: Max 25 participants
