Architecture in Vorarlberg
One of our Terrific Tips

With clever use of traditional materials and clear, sleek design, the mountainous region has become a magnet for lovers of cutting edge architecture in Voralberg.

 

Vorarlberg

 
 

Since the 1990s this small province has been attracting considerable attention amongst the European architectural community.  A concentration on sustainable building has also given Vorarlberg’s architects a competitive edge in the world of construction.  Economic use of natural resources and simple structure and layout characterise these contemporary buildings, yet they retain a strong link with tradition.  Conscious use of building materials available locally is evident in traditional Bregenzerwald houses and is still common practice.  Accomplished use of wood as a construction material never fails to impress the numerous architects who come to visit.  You can put together a personal web tour of buildings that interest you or book a guide for personal tour of the area's impressive accomplishments.
