Description



Book Synopsis



Warum sind manche regionale Architekturen berühmter als andere? The Making of Alpine Architecture untersucht die kulturellen Strukturen, die hinter der zeitgenössischen alpenländischen Architektur stehen, und analysiert die Ereignisse, Publikationen und Gebäude, die den architektonischen Diskurs auf internationaler Ebene geprägt haben. Mit einem besonderen Fokus auf Vorarlberg und Graubünden beleuchtet das Buch die zugrundeliegenden Dynamiken und zeichnet nach, wie Veränderungen in der Architekturkritik seit den späten 1980er-Jahren ein neues kulturelles Bild der Alpen hervorgebracht haben. Durch die Verknüpfung von Historiografie und detaillierten Fallstudien wird gezeigt, wie gezielte kulturelle Interventionen nicht nur regionale Identität formen, sondern auch die Qualität und Rezeption der Architektur weit über den Alpenraum hinaus beeinflussten.

  • Einblicke in alpine Architektur und ihre internationale Rezeption
  • Verbindung von kulturtheoretischen Ansätzen mit Fallstudien zu Arbeiten von Zumthor, Valerio Olgiati, Gion A. Caminada u. a.
  • Strategien zur Förderung regionaler architektonischer Identität und Qualität
