This evening marks Marcus Weiss's farewell to the «Dialog» eries at Gare du Nord after eighteen formative years. In his final concert as host, musician and discussion partner, he looks back on an intense period of exchange about contemporary music together with artists, companions and the audience.

As part of the lecture series «Ein Haus...», Marianne Baumgartner and Luca Camponovo discuss the sustainable transformation of a housing estate.

In view of increasing technical and regulatory complexity, he uses three research houses in Bad Aibling to show how reduced, robust construction methods can be implemented in a concrete and sustainable manner.

As part of the «ATTACCA – Abschlussfestival sonic space basel» at the FHNW School of Music in Basel, students will present their final artistic projects.

As part of the «ATTACCA – Abschlussfestival sonic space basel» at the FHNW School of Music in Basel, students will present their final artistic projects. «Above and Below Air» unfolds like a suspended breath — balancing between what sustains us and what overwhelms us.

As part of the «ATTACCA – Abschlussfestival sonic space basel» at the FHNW School of Music in Basel, students will present their final artistic projects.
