Architecture in South Tyrol: So Close to Heaven

Probably the innovative understanding of architecture in South Tyrol can be summed up quite simply: nature is the real star. The rugged Dolomites have always been a great challenge, whether due to impassable terrain or harsh climate. Architecture that can survive in this extreme landscape needs a clear language of form. It must be functional and resilient, but also distinctive enough not to be swallowed up by the dramatic view of the mountains.
