ARCH Market Lucerne – April 19
As part of the Architecture Festival Lucerne, the ARCH Market invites you to discover, connect, and engage with architecture, design, and art.
In the coming days, we’re introducing our participants one by one — today:

MAPS | CARDS | SPECIAL EDITIONS | GUIDED TOURS
HEARTBRUT explores the sweet spot between brutalism, art and experience, offering new visual formats, publications, special editions, expert insight and curated walks & rides. We believe in together is better. Our fresh take and explorative formats reach a broad international community. HEARTBRUT was founded in 2019 by writer and photographer Karin Bürki.

In this workshop, Karin Bürki, head of HEARTBRUT, will give you a brief and fun introduction to brutalism, introduces the 10 most important icons in Switzerland and explains why raw concrete architecture is part of our cultural heritage. Any questions? Ask them during the Q&A!
