Interior design, meanwhile, focuses on the design and utilisation of interior spaces. Architecture and interior design are crucially important for the overall effect and functionality of a building. Both disciplines are mutually dependent and must complement each other, merge into each other or sometimes even counteract each other. They have to enter into a kind of love affair \u2013 only then is it possible to create holistically conceived and architecturally outstanding buildings.<\/p><p>Stefan Graf<br \/>Partner Bauart Architects and Planners<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"sia-frage-des-monats-wrapper\"><div class=\"sia-frage-des-monats-q active\" data-id=\"3358\"><h1>What is the difference between architecture and interior design?<\/h1><div class=\"sia-frage-des-monats-answer active\"><div class=\"img sia-fragedesmonats-lazy-bg\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/baukulturschweiz.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Remo_Derungs_FrageDesMonats_Juni24-768x1152.jpg);\"><\/div><p>Often, the difference lies in the scale. While architecture begins on a large scale and ultimately extends into the depths of the rooms, interior design starts on a small scale. It is based on people and their needs and is also concerned with the design of spaces. This takes into account aesthetic, functional, structural and technical aspects as well as the cultural, social, economic and ecological environment of the users. From the inside out and from the outside in, as Peter Zumthor aptly describes his meticulous way of working.<\/p><p>Remo Derungs<br \/>President VSI.ASAI.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"sia-frage-des-monats-wrapper\"><div class=\"sia-frage-des-monats-q active\" data-id=\"3250\"><h1>How does the Art Biennale inspire Baukultur?<\/h1><div class=\"sia-frage-des-monats-answer active\"><div class=\"img sia-fragedesmonats-lazy-bg\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/baukulturschweiz.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Victoria-Easton-c-Photo-Lukas-Wassmann-768x768.jpeg);\"><\/div><p>Recent editions of the Biennale have, among other things, showcased artists who have worked far from the limelight. This curatorial decision has enabled an international audience to make important discoveries in the setting of one of the world\u2019s prime cultural gatherings.

The Venice Biennale 2024 entitled \"Foreigners Everywhere\" highlights the global nature of the condition of being or feeling foreign, validating the cultural value of expressions arising from this condition or feeling. It's inspiring for Baukultur to go to Venice and take a look at the visual arts, which seem to take one of the greatest contemporary challenges seriously: how to create a society that embraces individuality...<\/p><p>Adrien Jutard<br \/>Visarte.ch central committee member<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"sia-frage-des-monats-wrapper\"><div class=\"sia-frage-des-monats-q active\" data-id=\"3131\"><h1>How do we solve the housing shortage?<\/h1><div class=\"sia-frage-des-monats-answer active\"><div class=\"img sia-fragedesmonats-lazy-bg\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/baukulturschweiz.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/KarinBuehrer_08-scaled-e1708953015298-768x768.jpg);\"><\/div><p>Enabling construction \u2013 removing hurdles: The visible queues in front of flat viewings are also a consequence of the invisible months-long wait developers face for building permits, further exacerbated by improper objections.

Making the zoning plans more flexible also helps. Let's tackle the hurdles of housing construction together.
