Memo Splügen Baukultur—An Event for the Whole Family

Rural architectural culture. Splügen’s architectural culture, to be precise. The focus here isn’t on grand architecture. Rather, the attention is directed toward seemingly insignificant details throughout the built environment—things that are unconsciously familiar and contribute significantly to the atmosphere of the place. So natural and unassuming that they risk disappearing without a second thought. To celebrate the new Memo game, we’re inviting you to an event for the whole family. Various “activists” in the field of built environment will offer insights into their work—and invite you to join in the fun. Perhaps afterward we’ll walk through the village with more open eyes?
