Présentation

GROUND has the ambition of being an urbanistic gesture, providing a new readable public square, becoming part of the network of the numerous public squares of Basel. More than a building, it is an urban issue that is considered. Instead of occupying and fragmenting the square by adding a new pavilion, GROUND houses a Cultural Information Center in the ground thickness.
It generates on top a generous piazza, dedicated to artistic exhibitions and events, with the desire of making Art be part of the city and accessible to everyone. As a strong horizontal plan of reference, GROUND makes a dialogue possible between the Theatre, the Tinguely fountain, and the Richard Serra sculptures, by giving them a common ground.
