The Bundesstiftung Baukultur promotes quality in the built environment through education, discourse, and key activities, targeting professionals and citizens in Germany.
The **Bundesstiftung Baukultur** (Federal Foundation for Building Culture) is a public foundation based in Potsdam, Germany, established on December 17, 2006. The foundation's primary goal is to promote and enhance the quality of the built environment, recognizing it as a societal value. As a communication foundation, it fosters public discourse through events, collaborations, and publications to raise awareness about the importance of building culture. The foundation targets a broad audience, including professionals from architecture, engineering, transportation, and landscape planning, as well as property owners, the construction industry, and policymakers. Its main objective is to educate citizens about the significance of building culture in their daily lives and to improve understanding of planning and construction processes. Key activities include the biennial **Baukulturbericht** (Building Culture Report), which serves as a status report on planning and construction in Germany, and the **Konvent der Baukultur** (Building Culture Convention), a central forum for discussing current issues and solutions in the field. The foundation aims to enhance the quality of life by promoting high-quality building design and construction, supporting businesses, and fostering demand for sustainable and culturally relevant buildings and cities.
