Architecture in VorarlbergOne of our Terrific Tips
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.
