Following the three editions of 2006, 2012 and 2018, the exhibition and catalogue “New Architecture in South Tyrol 2018 – 2024” proposes a fourth inventory of projects documenting the architectural horizon that has developed in South Tyrol, selected by an international jury consisting of curator Filippo Bricolo along with Elisa Valero Ramos, and Annette Spiro.

Intended as a survey, not as an award, the initiative as a whole, presented in collaboration with the South Tyrolean Architecture Foundation and the South Tyrolean Artists’ Association, tells the story of 24 years of architecture in South Tyrol: from the year 2000 until today. Among more than 240 projects, the jury chose 28 main structures, joined by a second group of 28 others.
As curator Filippo Bricolo states in his introduction to the catalogue, the project revolves around two fundamental questions: Is there such a thing as South Tyrolean architecture? And, if so, what does it consist of?
The criteria guiding the selection process were the careful and sensible use of building materials and resources; the attention paid to sources; and the environmental impact. Based on these aspects, “families” gradually emerged that, over and above the individual personalities of the designers or the different uses, were characterised by similarities and common approaches. Until 16 February
