Fribourg

Fribourg opens the first cycle of Infrastructural Baukultur. The project here focuses on the cantonale road as a key infrastructural element running through the urban edge — connecting housing, schools, parks, and peripheral zones.

The goal is to examine this everyday road not just as a corridor for vehicles, but as a surface: a site of negotiation, maintenance, and encounter.

Fribourg provides a rich context to explore how minor interventions — such as benches, crossings, plantings or curbs — can shift how people move, rest, and relate to the built environment.

This first cycle sets the tone for the rest of the project, helping to test formats, methods and collaborations that will be adapted in Genève and Lausanne.
