Bauen In Tirol Seit 1980. Ein Führer Zu 260 Sehenswerten Bauten
(Building In Tyrol Since 1980. A Guide To 260 Noteworthy Buildings)
Published by the Architekturforum Tirol

The contemporary architecture scene in Tyrol is among the liveliest and most diverse in Central Europe. A new generation of architects and investors has created a virulent situation over the last decade – one that is characterised by an openness to the discourse and fruitful for the broader acceptance of the modern art of building. This publication documents this development comprehensively for the first time with the extensive coverage of 260 buildings and references to a further 240 buildings. The spectrum covers work of contemporary relevance by the pioneers of the 1960s and 70s and projects realised by the now dominant middle generation, as well as completed projects by international stars and the first completed buildings by emerging architects.
