Erläuterungstext

This design, by Chapman Taylor and CL&aa, won an international competition held by the Provincia Autonoma di Bolzano for the city’s new science and technology pole.

The urban restyling of the former Alumix and Magnesio sites involves a floor space of approximately 51,000m² out of a total surface area of approximately 100,000m². It will contain a state-of-the-art research centre for innovation and the arts, with spaces for cutting-edge technology companies, workshops and research centres. A contemporary art museum for works by local artists only, plus housing, shops, restaurants and a small library are also planned.

The former Alumix site will feature a futuristic black ‘monolith’ that breaks into the rigidity of an old row of buildings and projects suspended over the road, pointing straight at the city. The cladding will be carbon fibre and have built-in photovoltaic cells. The large 50-metre ‘magnet’ containing mainly office spaces on the former Magnesio site will, by contrast, be suspended over a water plaza.
