Discovery tours for kindergartens, schools, higher education institutions and after-school care groups


Discovery tours
 

Tour 1 : Art dans l’espace public

Art in public space is ever-present: visible, temporary and sometimes provocative. This tour offers new perspectives on familiar surroundings and sharpens awareness of interventions in the city.

Tour 2: Basel through time – A Discovery Tour with Sketching

Inspired by Lucius Burckhardt’s concept of “strollology”, this tour explores Basel’s city centre through drawing. Materials: sketching tools, a base, a city map and optionally a camera.

Tour 3: Sustainable building – but how?

The Lysbüchel site was for a long time an area purely for commercial and industrial purposes and is now being transformed into a residential district. How can this be done sustainably? We will explore the site and examine different approaches to sustainable construction.

Tour 4: Erlenmatt Ost – new forms of living together

How does a new neighbourhood emerge? This tour provides insight into contemporary housing models and new forms of co-living.
