The Swiss building culture that emerged between the end of the boom years and the turn of the millennium has hardly been scientifically recorded. As these buildings are currently at risk of disappearing due to demolition, the Swiss Heritage Society wants to draw attention to the qualities of this period with the “Baukultur 1975-2000” initiative.

2023: Launch of the web platform on Swiss building culture 1975-2000
Following the Instagram channel @archimillennials last fall, the web platform www.heimatschutz.ch/1975-2000 has now been launched. It brings together around 100 buildings from Switzerland. The selection is representative of the architectural diversity of this period. The objects from the fields of architecture, landscape architecture and engineering are accompanied by up-to-date photographs and short texts. The platform will also be expanded in future to include a number of digital tours in various Swiss cities and a publication.
