Experiences in Vorarlberg

Abstract

This review of selected projects within the Vorarlberg region aims to highlight several architectures, focusing particularly on their construction quality, a distinctive element of the regional architectural production. The projects are grouped by functional theme: starting with an industrial building, specifically a carpentry, moving on to public and private buildings characterized by hybrid spaces capable of hosting a mixed functional program; additionally, there are some school buildings, an office building, and, finally, some residential buildings. The selected projects share the common feature of having a wooden supporting structure, with different construction systems, from frame structures to cross-laminated ones sometimes associated with other technologies such as reinforced concrete.
