    ‘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!
