描述
The architecture and building culture of Vorarlberg have long been held in high regard, both within Austria and beyond. This book showcases the most exciting buildings and architectural trends in the region since 2000. Through their work, editors Sandra Hofmeister and Verena Konrad provide readers with an in-depth overview of contemporary architecture in Austria’s westernmost province, offering a glimpse into the world of architectural design. A total of 50 exceptional projects, spanning locations from Dornbirn to Montafon and the Bregenzerwald to the Rhine Valley, are presented through a combination of texts, photographs, and plans. The typological diversity ranges from biomass heating plants and mountain chapels to social housing and schools constructed from timber.
