New Architecture in South Tyrol

2000-2006

Feb. 04. _ Apr. 17, 2006

Especially in the nineties, the South Tyrolean architectural scene underwent an enormous upturn in all parts of the state.

For a long time, however, this creative scene went unnoticed by the global media. In the aftermath of the international prize for Neues Bauen in den Alpen [modern building in the Alps] from Sexten Kultur, however, the interest in the architecture of this region grew. Reason enough to develop a first comprehensive exhibition and up-to-date documentation on building in South Tyrol.

The exhibition and the accompanying book document 48 buildings, examine the architectural activities under various aspects (e. g. residential buildings, schools, cultural facilities, and traffic buildings), and confidently show the differences as compared to other Alpine regions.

It is the anniversaries "10 years kunst Meran" and "60 years Südtiroler Künstlerbund" [South Tyrolean association of artists] that gave rise to the publication and the walking exhibition.
