| Summary: | "Traditional Alpine architecture is based on an important set of construction techniques
and forms that are waiting to be re-evaluated, so that they can become
material for contemporary projects. For this to be possible, new interpretative instruments
should be found to overcome the stereotypes that have often reduced
tradition to a caricature, counterposing it to innovation.
At this particular time, building in the mountains does not exclusively mean responding
to certain needs which stem from the expansion of massive tourism
phenomena.
The projects of Nexus! Associates aim at looking for answers, especially about new
ways of living in the valleys and marginal areas. Hence, it is now possible to imagine
a new balance between tradition and innovation, past reasons and present
conditions, uses and memories, with the understanding that every act of design is
always a contemporary construction." |
