VERNACULAR ARCHITECTURE IN THE ALPS

For centuries, the limited local availability of building materials determined
the construction methods in the alpine mountain village. Building types were
developed, modified and continuously further developed. Industrialisation and the individualisation of society led to a break with traditional building culture.
Vernacular architecture is not imperative today. However, it has the potential
to enrich the local context and provide answers to current global architectural
questions.
The village of Lumbrein, located in Graubünden, will be an opportunity to
understand the evolution of an alpine village and its architecture. The different
relationships, between topography, pathways, collective spaces and buildings
will be analysed as well as houses typologies and the uses related to it.
The project has the ambition to build in the core of the village using the cultural
and constructive knowledge developed, to produce a contemporary architecture
that is respectful towards heritage.
A study trip to Graubünden is schedulded to visit the site for the semester as well
as buildings by Peter Zumthor, Gion Caminada, Capaul & Blumenthal and other
architects, with Jürg Conzett as guest.
