Bern Building Culture Award for the Anna Seiler House
The Audience Award goes to the Anna-Seiler-Haus! The Bernese Building Culture Award was presented on 31 October 2024.
We are very pleased about this special appreciation of this project by the general public in Bern.
The new main building of the Inselspital/University Hospital Bern is organised as a "city within the city". As the centrepiece, the new building forms the high point of the Inselspital, visible from afar in the city skyline, and follows the principle of "My city, my neighbourhood, my street, my home" inside. With this consistent and approachable concept, the Anna-Seiler-Haus has firmly established itself in urban society after just one year in operation, as a new symbol of the Inselspital, as an exemplary hospital building and as an outstanding contribution to Bern's building culture.
Our big thank you goes to everyone who voted for the Anna-Seiler-Haus, to our client Insel Gruppe and to our planning partners GWJ, IAAG and Archipel Generalplanung! The Bernese Building Culture Award Foundation has been honouring private, public and institutional clients and authors for their exemplary, contemporary and interdisciplinary planning and works in the Canton of Bern since 1989. It strengthens the understanding of high-quality building culture and makes it visible and accessible to a broad public. The award is used to discuss the quality of buildings and plans, strengthen understanding of interdisciplinary work and thus promote Bern's building culture.
