  • «Fankhauser Architektur has created a flagship building, ‘the pioneer’ (building 1) that will become the emblem of the uptownBasel innovation campus. Load-bearing steel beams are replicated on the facade as the stylistic hallmark of the latest generation of industrial architecture in the Basel region. And where you can’t go out, you must go up. Functions are stacked on top of each other, with manufacturing below and research and development upstairs. Between the two are the building’s technical infrastructures. In today’s highly competitive markets, customer focus gives you a decisive edge. The way in which humans interact with the built environment is becoming a clear differentiator in the fight for talent. After all, success stories are not written in isolation. The ability to network and to collaborate is a key skill in the new world of employment. Fankhauser Arealentwicklungen based the entire concept for uptownBasel on innovative, cooperative ways of working.»
