Davos Baukultur Alliance’s Post

“Our cities are going to have to be fundamentally different. As we rebuild our material economies, as we rebuild ecological infrastructures, we are going to have to think about a new human-machine economy. The human contribution is going to be about our cognitive capabilities, our capacity to care.” – Indy Johar, Founder of Dark Matter Labs and member of the Davos Baukultur Alliance   The two-day Annual Meeting of Davos Baukultur Alliance at the World Economic Forum headquarters in Geneva brought together over 100 leaders from 25 countries, across 5 continents including investment innovators, leaders in circular construction and materials, ministries of urban development, housing and culture, visionary architects, social entrepreneurs, infrastructure designers, educators, and more.   This uniquely multidisciplinary gathering was opened by Federal Councillor Elisabeth Baume-Schneider and State Councillor Antonio Hodgers. It featured debates, innovative practice sharing, and fostered knowledge sharing via 22 sessions, including plenaries, small group discussions, project presentations, and concluded with a presentation by Dr Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg on her Pollinator Pathmaker work creating ‘interspecies artwork.’ The Davos Baukultur Alliance, chaired by Bundesamt für Kultur BAK, is designed to recouple human-centered planning and development with more sustainable building practices to create more resilient, adaptable communities that strengthen culture and evoke a strong sense of place.   >> See photos of the event here: https://lnkd.in/dMvGhyE9   >> Learn more about the Alliance here: https://lnkd.in/dyP5te8Y   📷 © World Economic Forum
