According to the strategy which is being jointly developed by 15 federal agencies under the direction of the Federal Office of Culture (FOC), Baukultur refers to the past, present and future. It brings together various fields and requires them to step up their cooperation beyond the sometimes overly narrow confines of the discipline. In its Action Plan 2020–2023, the FOCP (Federal Office for the Protection of Cultural Property) stated that it would produce a publication devoted entirely to the subject. It would feature articles by Baukultur experts working in Switzerland, and document the ideas, objectives and activities of neighbouring countries, as well as the progress they have made. The publication would therefore serve as an interim report on Baukultur, the findings of which Switzerland and its neighbours could use to jointly plan and implement future measures.
