Those who know even part of the turbulent events that contemporary architecture in Italy is going through, will not be surprised to read that the region of Alto Adige – S\u00fcd Tirol, and in particular the autonomous province of Bolzano, represents today if not the main, certainly the most interesting place of architectural production in the country. This is a situation that has persisted for several years now, the reasons for which – that reside in many aspects that characterise the architectural profession today – would be worthwhile to dwell in more detail sooner or later (certainly not here) to begin to dissect in depth the roots of the crisis of Italian architecture. If in this region there is a partial bureaucratic simplification in relation to some building processes compared to the rest of Italy, there is, on the other hand, a greater consideration of the architectural profession (in terms of working and economic conditions), a greater and more structured public and private investment in the sector, and a far more careful care in the execution of projects (a subject which, in a context such as the Slovenian one, is not particularly exotic, but that cannot be said about the Italian context). How different the approach to architecture is in these areas is evident from a first observation of the South Tyrolean cities, in the care of public spaces and in the high civic culture that determines them. These, like other reasons, mean that in the territory of Alto Adige – S\u00fcd Tirol there is today an absolute dominance at national level in the number of quality buildings per square meter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The intervention by Sandy Attia and Matteo Scagnol (MoDus Architetti) inside the abbey complex of Novacella (Varna\/Vahrn near Bressanone\/Brixen) should be framed in these, albeit briefly traced, general lines. However, to understand the originality of this project, one must above all understand the particular client that made it possible, namely the Augustinian order. The abbey, in fact, is a completely unique place, where you can breathe the centuries-old passages and pilgrimages between central Europe and Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
