The Swiss Baukultur Round Table, initiated by the Swiss Society of Engineers and Architects in 2010, pursues four goals:

• the systematic networking of the various actors in the sphere of Baukultur
• raising public awareness of historical and contemporary Baukultur
• anchoring Baukultur as a holistic, interdepartmental concern at the federal level
• participating in the European discourse on Baukultur

The Swiss Baukultur Round Table gathers prestigious national institutions from the fields of architecture and civil engineering, art and culture, and heritage protection and monument preservation, as well as from education, business, the federal administration, cantons and cities. In 2011, the Swiss Baukultur Round Table published a manifesto that laid the foundation for the new cultural and political field of Baukultur in Switzerland.
