L'architecture et l'innovation qui y est liée ont une grande importance dans le Sud-Tyrol. De plus, c'est une région qui ose beaucoup en matière de construction. En témoignent la distillerie de whisky unique en son genre, la salle d'escalade à la pointe de la technique ou encore le complexe hôtelier exceptionnel. Parfois sans prétention, parfois non, les ouvrages s'intègrent dans le paysage caractéristique du Sud-Tyrol - dans les montagnes ou entre les palmiers et les cyprès. Plusieurs fois récompensées et créées par des architectes locaux, chaque construction vaut le coup d'œil en soi. Découvrez l'interaction actuelle entre le paysage et l'architecture, qui n'existe qu'une seule fois sous cette forme.
The Fascist Youth GIL Buildings emerged in Merano/Meran, Bressanone/Brixen and Bolzano/Bozen in the 1930s according to designs by the architects Miozzo and Mansutti. Although in need of renovation, only the Bressanone structure has retained its original form. In Bolzano one of the most important buildings of Fascist Italy's rationalism period, a structure that had already been dilapidated, has been successfully repurposed. It was renovated and expanded through a competition. The fact that an Austrian architect achieved this, shows the overlap of cultures in Bolzano. The renovated, heritage-listed old building sections, painted in Tuscany red, were contrasted with a transparent building of glass and steel on a lightweight concrete structure, which also redefined the urban context with a vestibule, garden café and garden courtyard. The design of the interior spaces is just as light as that of the external appearance.
Under Mussolini in the 1930s, Italian factory workers were settled in a garden city called the Semirurali. These very simple houses with gardens for self-sufficiency were demolished in the postwar period, and replaced by modern residential buildings. The new complex tried not to distribute and make freely accessible the individual residential buildings around the property but rather to plan squares and streets in accordance with the existing “rules of urban design.” In the spaces between, contiguous rows of buildings were built. They border the streets and squares, as was common in the cities before the relaxed construction of modern times gave up these norms. In spite of the row construction, the buildings stand out as individual homes because of the arrangement of loggias and glass coverings as the color scheme, and thereby convey a feeling of identity.
In the winter season 2021/22 the new cable car Olang 1+2 will be open for skiers for the first time.
With a speed of 6.5m/s and a transport capacity of 3,900 persons per hour, the new lift is the ascent system with the highest transport capacity at Kronplatz/Plan de Corones.
With the architectural masterpiece of Dip-Ing. Cornelius Schlotthauer (former Senior Associate at Zaha Hadid Architects) and the modern lift technology of Doppelmayr Italia, the Olang 1+2 lift system is the new highlight on the No. 1 ski mountain in South Tyrol.
The new cable car is not only the fastest and most innovative, but also one of the most comfortable lifts leading directly from the valley to the summit.
Every 4 minutes a cabin leaves the station and arrives 12 minutes later.
The Renon cable car is a show case for public Transport worldwide. Transport links between Bozen and the Ritten have a long tradition. More than 100 years ago, the Bozen aristocracy travelled on the cog railway from the Waltherplatz in Bozen to the Ritten. This railway was replaced in 1966 by a cable car, which after 40 years of service no longer exists. In 2009 the new cable car was opened for public, the first of its kind in Italy.

If you enjoy holidaying in the Ahrntal valley, then don't miss out on a visit to the highest refuge hut in the Zillertaler Alps. The Schwarzensteinhütte is a first-class look-out point with unforgettable panoramic views to the surrounding mountains, as well as a welcoming resting place after a demanding ascent or a hut to hut hiking trip.

The former Ifinger cable car of the 1960s was replaced in 2010. Construction works lasted a mere ten months and ran between Naif (750 m), near Merano, and the ski resort Merano 2000, at 1960 m above sea level. Two cabins for 120 people now ascend to the mountain station in only six minutes. There the cable car technology, by the company Doppelmayr, is housed in a large cube, a recognizable landmark from afar with its red, light perforated exterior, which seems to sway over the white terraces of the reception area. Few materials are used here − steel, glass and light colored concrete − to create a transparent lightness which optimizes the views of the superb mountain landscape. The valley and mountain stations are multiple award-winning alternatives to the usual technology. They combine technology, functionality and design to create a timeless architectural structure.
Museion and its bridge link the old Austrian and the new Italian neighborhoods of the city, creating a built connection to a new era opposite the divisive Fascist architecture of the victory monument. The stylistic idiom of the mostly closed building, wrapped in its aluminum armor and with its far-reaching right angles, opens onto both parts of the city with its glassed narrow sides, encouraging one to enter. These glass facades are transformed into projection screens in the urban setting when darkness falls. The purely white architecture takes over the clear rooms inside, without dominating: a function to serve diverse exhibitions. The two swaying parts of the bridge over the Talvera/Talfer River form part of the museum’s concept: they symbolize the crossover of the two cultures that coexist here.
