The 2024 edition of Open House Basel focuses on vital urban development zones and revitalised structures. Be sure not to miss Kunsthaus Baselland, a repurposed former industrial hall with three towering concrete triangles visible from afar; Setzwerk, a new cultural centre in the suburban community of Arlesheim; or the opportunity to visit the Glashaus, a designated historical monument situated close to the German border, that spotlights the conversion of an industrial building into ateliers and the urban continuity of the tri-border area.
