Architecture and building culture in Vorarlberg are highly regarded internationally. Their ecological standards and cultural impact in particular set new benchmarks. This book brings together architectural positions and the most exciting buildings from the years since 2000. It provides a comprehensive overview of the continuation of a development that began in Vorarlberg in the 1960s. It documents 50 outstanding projects – from Dornbirn to Montafon and from the Bregenzerwald to the Rhine Valley. The diversity of typologies ranges from biomass heating plants to mountain chapels and from subsidized housing to schools built using timber construction methods. Essays shed light on the background of Vorarlberg's building culture.
