“Baukultur* is worth it! It’s not a marginal high-brow subject – on the contrary it’s applied infrastructural policy. Baukultur shapes the way people live together.
A new baukultur is led by the needs of society, creating
a Heimat for all. That’s what we envisage for North Rhine-Westphalia.”

Lutz Lienenkämper, Minister for Building and Transport in North Rhine-Westphalia

* The term baukultur denotes outstanding works of planning and design in our built environment. As we have learned from English native-speakers that there is no exact translation for baukultur in the English language, we have decided to use the German expression baukultur in our English translation.
