Intertwining: Baukultur

After the 2018 Davos Declaration it’s been perceived as extremely urgent a return to urban transformation practices linked with cultural values.

What does this mean? What kind of values should designers, planners, and public administrators put at the center of their decision-making process?

We have developed these questions with the help of scholars, architects, and thinkers, with a focus on the way in which the fruitful encounter between human sciences and architecture could address this challenge — the latest issue of Intertwining is the result of this debate. Intertwining is the first architectural magazine to explore the intersections between the humanities and the empirical sciences, especially between the “art of building” (Baukunst) and cognitive neuroscience.
