Recommendations for Action

                             © Bundesstiftung Baukultur, Design: Heimann und Schwantes
Guidelines

1. Create Baukultur guidelines!

   The built environment provides an important key to character and identity in future-oriented
   transformations. Baukultur guidelines have a positive effect on the development of cities,
   places, and landscapes. They ensure the preservation of regional diversity, local
   recognisability, and common values.

   Endogenous development sites should be given priority during the simultaneous strengthening of
   existing neighbourhoods. Municipalities should also recognise unconventional places as
   construction sites. Baukultur is effective as a source of inspiration.

   Municipalities should address new actors and sensitise them to structural qualities. Close
   cooperation between municipalities and investors ensures infill development that is compatible with
   the quarter.

   New forms of work have to be used as opportunities for the existing stock. Digital infrastructures and
   compatible businesses make it possible to establish new jobs in existing buildings with manageable
   effort.
Public places

2. Design public places for people!

   Whether in dense cities or as a village meeting point: public green and open spaces create
   added value for all citizens. With participation, commitment, and good design, urban fallow
   areas and open spaces can be activated with relatively little effort, which has a positive effect
   on the quality of life.

   Municipalities should enable active citizenship in the design of public spaces and promote civic
   engagement.

   Historic open spaces and green spaces are to be preserved and maintained. Green infrastructures
   should be developed to strengthen public services and the common good. Green strategies are an
   integral part of urban development and must be strengthened.

   Adaptations to climate change should be used for Baukultur upgrades. The element of water should
   be more strongly identified and actively used in urban planning.
Mobility

3. Use mobility as an opportunity for conversion culture!

   The conversion and expansion of transport infrastructures have great potential for design
   and structural improvements. In the age of a global and mobile society, transit spaces
   increasingly take on the role of a local business card with an identity-creating effect.

   New technologies contribute to the reduction of traffic and fine dust pollution. In particular, the
   expansion of the environmental network of public transport as well as pedestrian and bicycle traffic
   should be used to improve the design of public spaces.

   A network of different modes of transport should contribute to the reduction in land consumption and
   competition for land. Baukultur contributes to this through the design of new spaces, transport
   infrastructures, and street furniture.

   Existing and new transport infrastructures are central elements of public services and formative
   elements of public spaces. They have to be well designed and maintained.
Existing structures

4. Retain and develop existing structures!

   Additions, extensions, or conversions can represent contemporary solutions for existing
   buildings. These measures contribute to environmental and economic sustainability. Thereby,
   the continuity of identity-creating regional elements must be ensured.

   Existing buildings can often be updated with minimal intervention. Every conversion must bring about a
   design improvement. Historic structures must not give way to short-lived trends.

   The promotion of energy-saving renovation measures should be linked to Baukultur criteria and always
   accompanied by building consultation. In energy balances, the resources used (grey energy) are to be
   factored in and the neighbourhood-based approach appreciated.

   Qualitative aspects are to be taken more into account in the award of contracts and specified on the
   basis of specific tender texts. The existing building stock needs skilled craftsmen.
Historischer Kontext

5. Strengthen the historical context as a starting point fornew construction!

   Baukultur becomes apparent by means of historical layers, whose special features constitute
   the essence of a place. By inserting new architectural structures, places can be upgraded,
   provided that they are seen as a further development of Baukultur values.

   City repairs have to deal intensively with the existing building stock and its qualities. They are to be
   open and comprehensible, and included in action and design solutions.

   The expertise of different specialist disciplines is required to identify and take into account temporal
   layers worth preserving. In dialogue with the population, Baukultur qualities are already to be
   negotiated in a forward-looking Phase Zero.

   The urban compatibility of new buildings must be ensured with a “Baukultur Checklist” for developers
   and owners. Building projects must show that they have been sitespecifically planned and
   implemented.
(Im-)material values

6. Secure material and immaterial values!
   Only through targeted mediation can Baukultur values be recognised and maintained. Society
   is assigned the role of steward for the next generation’s material and immaterial heritage. This
   responsibility is to be perceived as a joint task of politics, administration, economy, and
   society.

   In education, the teaching of the importance of Baukultur and built heritage is to be anchored more
   strongly. A transfer of knowledge of historical building traditions and built qualities is required to
   secure long-term Baukultur values.

   Historic building component exchanges can help save on construction costs, reduce energy
   consumption, reduce building waste, and extend the life of valuable building components. The
   securing, storage, and reuse of historic, local building components strengthens the appearance of a
   place.

   The reuse of materials by a local building materials trade promotes the existing
   building stock and supplements conventional market offers. In construction projects, the integration of
   resource-saving and sustainable building materials – such as wood or recycled concrete – should be
   worked toward more strongly.
Land and property

7. Establish responsible land and property policy!

    Land is an irreplaceable property of extraordinary social and political importance. Therefore,
    municipal land ownership forms the basis of urban planning developments for the common
    good.

    Municipalities should operate a responsible land and property policy for their own benefit. At the same
    time, the existing quarters must be in the foreground and further development must start with them.

    Land in public ownership should be increasingly allocated in the socially compatible leasehold and in
    the concept procedure. In doing so, building cooperatives and owner-occupying building groups are to
    be included.

    Municipalities, municipal authorities, and private owners should include and consider the entire
    building stock for a forward-looking neighbourhood development. A strong cooperation between
    municipalities and owners in the “Phase Zero” and “Phase Ten” development options.
Secure values

8. Secure Baukultur values together!

   The forward-looking development of the built environment requires alliances at all levels and
   fields. Finding solutions to complex questions and processes requires individual expertise and
   views.

   The federal government, federal states, and municipalities should perceive their function as role
   models in Baukultur more strongly. Qualified planning competitions and broad public communication
   on efforts, benefits, and risks promote a general understanding of (conversion) building measures.

   The participation of different disciplines and actors is an essential part of building stock development.
   The federal, state, and local authorities are called upon to consider interdisciplinarity more strongly,
   especially in competitions and awards.

   The real estate industry and private owners are increasingly to be gained for investment in the building
   stock. Tax incentives, easy access to subsidies, and expert support from “Baukultur experts” can make
   a significant contribution here.
Design tools

9. Anchor design tools!

   Federal structures and a heterogeneous building stock make a comprehensible catalogue of
   measures for conversion culture necessary. Well-functioning tools are to be found and
   implemented at all levels.

   Laws, guidelines, and regulations must be reviewed for their function and manageability in dealing with
   heritage and building stock. A reduced and comprehensible catalog of measures as well as technically
   trained participants are essential for a qualified building stock development.

   Planning tools – such as landmark preservation master plans, cityscape analyses, design guides, and
   vacancy registers and building gap cadastres – should be anchored in municipal practice and called
   for in the framework of funding programmes.

   Municipalities should network and sensitise the population to the value of their existing building stock
   through flagship projects. The communication of Baukultur to a broad public requires places of
   information and temporal formats.
