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.
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.
