Hier wird altes Gemäuer besonders behutsam bewahrt und für die Zukunft gesichert. Schloss Sigmundskron bei Bozen etwa, wo eines von Reinhold Messners Museen Platz fand, zeugt von der sanften Verschmelzung von Altem und Neuem. Oder Kloster Marienberg im Vinschgau, in welchem Jahrhunderte alte Geschichte auch heute noch erlebbar ist. Erkunde die historischen Schauplätze und lerne die vielfältige Geschichte Südtiroler Baukultur kennen.
The Fascist Youth GIL Buildings emerged in Merano/Meran, Bressanone/Brixen and Bolzano/Bozen in the 1930s according to designs by the architects Miozzo and Mansutti. Although in need of renovation, only the Bressanone structure has retained its original form. In Bolzano one of the most important buildings of Fascist Italy's rationalism period, a structure that had already been dilapidated, has been successfully repurposed. It was renovated and expanded through a competition. The fact that an Austrian architect achieved this, shows the overlap of cultures in Bolzano. The renovated, heritage-listed old building sections, painted in Tuscany red, were contrasted with a transparent building of glass and steel on a lightweight concrete structure, which also redefined the urban context with a vestibule, garden café and garden courtyard. The design of the interior spaces is just as light as that of the external appearance.
