HTL Bau und Design / ao-architekten

Andreas Luco — Thu, 11 May 2023 12:00:00 +0000

The HTL Bau & Design school complex comprises one main building to the north and workshops to the south. The site is flanked by the very busy Bachlechnerstraße to the east and a large commercial building to the west. The single-story, compact extension adds a floor to the teaching and administrative wing, blending perfectly and naturally into the rest of the complex while adding a distinct new dimension to the main building.

House ST / LORENZATELIERS

Luciana Pejić — Sun, 16 Oct 2022 06:00:00 +0000

The long, narrow structure slips flawlessly and seamlessly into the superb property lot on the south-facing flanks of the city of Innsbruck. The structure swelled and took on the form of a capital "C". In the verticals facing northwards, the house remains closed in; in the other dimensions of the compass, however, it opens without the slightest limits - its panorama and closeness to nature are breathtaking.

Andreea Cutieru — Thu, 16 Dec 2021 11:00:00 +0000

Henning Larsen won the competition to design a new university building for the Management Center Innsbruck (MCI), the studio’s first project in Austria. Founded in 1995, the MCI outgrew its facility in the city centre, and the competition was meant to establish a new unified campus, gathering together the many faculties now scattered on different locations throughout Innsbruck. The design consists of an isolated object with no back or front featuring multi-story voids carved into each façade, establishing distinct relationships with the surroundings and framing views of the Alps.

House of Music / ARGE Strolz + Dietrich | Untertrifaller Architekten

Andreas Luco — Sat, 24 Jul 2021 09:00:00 +0000

Prominently located in Innsbruck’s cultural center, this project was conceived for open cultural exchange across all ages and genres. The unifying element is music. The building’s simple volume belies the extreme programmatic complexity as it houses multiple musical institutions, concert halls, administration, dining, and adjoining rooms, a national music library, and outdoor terraces with views of Innsbruck and the Alps.

Weisses Kreuz Hotel / noa* network of architecture

Paula Pintos — Wed, 30 Jun 2021 14:00:00 +0000

No right angles in sight here: the venerable house in Herzog-Friedrich-Straße, which dates from the 1460s, is a building in Innsbruck's historic streets whose architecture is inflected with architectural elements from a wide range of historical eras, having undergone constant transformation. Yet the distinct features of each period coalesce in timeless fashion to form a symbiosis of urbanism. In keeping with the rhythm of change over the centuries, the Hotel Weisses Kreuz fits into this pattern, providing a uniquely appealing architectural challenge for noa*.

Studio Extension and Refurbishment / Architekt Daniel Fügenschuh

Paula Pintos — Tue, 03 Dec 2019 01:00:00 +0000

The house originally was commissioned in 1925 by a young engineer for his own family. The Tyrolese architect Siegfried Mazagg designed a masterpiece, one of a few only, as his life, unfortunately, was ended early by a car accident when he was only 30 years of age. The building has been granted a built heritage of the highest grade some ten years ago.

The Nordkette is the southernmost mountain chain in the Karwendel, the largest mountain range of the Northern Limestone Alps located just north of the Tyrolean city of Innsbruck. The Hungerburg and Nordkette funiculars bring visitors directly from the city center to the Seegrube cable car station at 1,905 meters above sea level, where the Path of Perspectives unfurls in breathtaking alpine surroundings. Here, the 2.8-kilometer meandering panorama trail and its individual elements entice visitors to take a stroll up its 142-meter elevational change.

Luke Fiederer — Sat, 20 Oct 2018 22:00:00 +0000

This article was originally published on May 9, 2016. To read the stories behind other celebrated architecture projects, visit our AD Classics section.

Situated on the peak of Bergisel Mountain above the picturesque alpine city of Innsbruck, Austria, the Bergisel Ski Jump represents the contemporary incarnation of a historic landmark. Designed by Zaha Hadid between 1999 and 2002, the Ski Jump is a study in formal expression: its sweeping lines and minimalist aesthetic create a sense of graceful, high-speed motion, reflecting the dynamic sensation of a ski jump in a monumental structure that stands above the historic center of Innsbruck and the mountain slopes around.

TIWAG Hauptverwaltung Innsbruck / puerstl langmaier architekten

Rayen Sagredo — Fri, 06 Jul 2018 05:00:00 +0000

The two existing buildings should form a visual and technical unit. This is accomplished with the thermal façade renovation and the revision of the roof surface, as so-called "fifth facade". The newly created opening at the northeast corner serves as an entrance situation and at the same time the Tiwag building is accessed by a ramp for disabled people. The measures bind the building along the northeast side to the urban space. The south-facing bay window on the building is transferred to the new building envelope and produced with the other fixed points of the existing crystalline appearance.
