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 RezeptionVerbindung von kulturtheoretischen Ansätzen mit Fallstudien zu Arbeiten von Zumthor, Valerio Olgiati, Gion A. ¬Caminada u. a.Strategien zur Förderung regionaler architektonischer Identität und Qualität.…

What makes some regional architecture more famous than others? The Making of Alpine Architecture investigates the cultural construction behind contemporary Alpine architecture, exploring the events, publications, and buildings that have shaped architectural discourse on an international scale. With a particular focus on the Austrian Vorarlberg and the Swiss Grisons, the book examines the underlying dynamics and traces how shifts in architectural criticism from the late 1980s onward have fostered a new cultural image of the Alps. By weaving together historiography and detailed case studies, it reveals how strategic cultural interventions not only shaped regional identity but also influenced the quality and reception of architecture far beyond the mountains.
- Examines Alpine architecture and its global reception
- Merges cultural theory with case studies including works by Peter Zumthor, Valerio Olgiati, Gion A. Caminada and others
- Identifies strategies to strengthen regional architectural identity and quality
