What made the " Konferenz Dritte Orte so special?

Over the course of two days, the Konferenz Dritte Orte Konferenz Dritte Orte the origins of “third Konferenz Dritte Orte and their pioneers, their social functions, their funding, and their future prospects through a packed program. The bilingual conference was deliberately designed to be interdisciplinary. It brought together perspectives from theaters, museums, libraries, and sociocultural centers, as well as voices from public administration, urban planning, architecture, and civil society. It explored strategic issues as well as everyday life. It provided a space for exchange and encouraged participants to look beyond their own boundaries.

In high-profile keynote addresses, three international voices—Aat Vos, Martin Colomer-Diez, and Robin Cantrill-Fenwick—brought their perspectives to Basel. The tradition of “third places” in Basel itself was reflected in engaging presentations such as that by Barbara Buser. Three European case studies explored the potential of third places, focusing on Vienna, Munich, and London. In four breakout sessions, participants could choose from thirteen different workshops to collaboratively develop ideas and find solutions to the challenges associated with designing third places.

What happens next?

The Konferenz Dritte Orte the start of an annual conference series that will take place in a different Swiss city each year.
