‘Wohnen fürs Wohnen’
A cooperation between S AM and the Association of Housing Cooperatives Northwestern Switzerland.
Basel was one of the early centers of cooperative housing in Switzerland. This exhibition at S AM sheds light on this often-overlooked history and expands the focus to the entire region of Northwestern Switzerland — marking the 100th anniversary of the Association of Housing Cooperatives Northwestern Switzerland. The exhibition also highlights how cooperative models continue to offer innovative responses to today’s housing challenges.New director for the S AM: Adam Szymczyk to head the Swiss Architecture Museum from 2026
His well-founded perspective on architecture and society convinced the selection committee.
Together with the S AM team, Adam Szymczyk will bring a fresh momentum to the museum.
We look forward to inspiring perspectives and exciting new directions!
