Austria: The Architect Must Go Up The Mountain
|
|
http://www.emarsys.net Modern Alpine architecture is the latest addition to Austria's breathtaking views. Think that a walking trip in the Austrian Alps is all about chocolate box villages and traditional chalets? Think again, because a boom in Alpine architecture is quickly gaining momentum and attracting an interesting new crowd: the culture-savvy outdoor type. New Austrian Alpine architecture is characterised by daring combinations of tradition and innovation, which blend harmoniously into the mountainous landscape.
Some regions are already internationally renowned for their ground-breaking mountain architecture.
Famous Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid has found an ideal playground in Tirol, where she has realised various spectacular projects. Equally, Vorarlberg has established itself as a Mecca for architecture enthusiasts. All across Austria, a new kind of ‘Alpine look' is emerging, which bridges the gap between ancient building traditions and cutting-edge design. The key to this balance act is the use of natural, local materials and know-how and a concern for the environment. And the result is stunning: classic Alpine landscapes enhanced by pockets of (post)modernity.
