Lucius Burckhardt

Lucius Burckhardt (March 12, 1925 in Davos – August 26, 2003 in Basel) was a Swiss sociologist and economist. He was an important thinker in architectural theory and design theory and the founder of strollology.[1]

Legacy

Burckhardt's strollological methods were taken up by his student, the German artist Gerhard Lang, whose Mobile Zebra Crossing (1993), a procession with a portable pedestrian crossing through the streets of Kassel, was conceived in honour of Burckhardt as the founder of the discipline.[2]
