The UBS Arts Forums seek to promote mutual understanding by fostering interdisciplinary dialogue between the artistic, cultural and economic sectors. Acknowledged authorities in their fields lecture on contemporary issues and debate them with Forum participants.
The 2010 series had the title ‘Architecture and Aesthetics: Building in Times of Crisis’ and was held in cooperation with the magazine archithese. The interdisciplinary discussions kicked off with keynote speeches by well-known experts were subsequently continued in greater depth in workshops. Daniel Leuthold of BGP Architekten delivered a lecture on 'Working Sustainably – a Zero-Energy Building for Eawag'.
