Fire stations as centerpieces of building culture

‍Thediscussion offered fascinating insights into the design of fire stations. Christian Gaus asked questions that shed light on the role of these buildings as more than just functional infrastructures. Reiner Nagel and the exhibition organizers agreed: fire stations should not only offer protection and safety, but also be social places that create identity. Architecture can combine protection, home and beauty here - a message that gets to the heart of the Baukultur summer tour.
