In addition to architecture, we look forward to receiving reports from the areas of sustainability, technology, energy & environment, building materials and CO2 certificates as well as entrepreneurship.

OPENLY was founded to make a concrete contribution to the building transition, as 25% of global greenhouse gas emissions come from the construction industry.

Architecture needs to be fundamentally rethought, and with it its media coverage and assessment. Today's architectural superstars belong to a generation that has never dealt with climate. Norman Foster, for example, is currently building the new Apple Temple in California with glass from Gossau SG and the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) has afforded itself a natural stone façade from China on Europaallee.

OPENLY reduces construction emissions by around 70%, is designed globally and is planned and built regionally.

The OPENLY Valley Widnau pilot project was always geared towards upscale gastronomy, which is why we also commissioned Baumschlager Eberle Architekten to design and submit the building application for the first stage. Where good and sustainable food is cooked, it is also beautifully presented.

We have deliberately avoided avocado and kiwi foam soup (build as little house as possible). Accordingly, we also do without Gault Millau toques or Michelin stars on the front door. (= no participation in architecture awards)

Because
it matters
