NEW COMPETITIONS

TIMETABLE MODIFICATION

The authorities responsable for Transports Structures of south Tyrol (STA) launch an international competition, open to all architects in geographic Europe (*), for the design of a transportation Centre and its environs, in the city of Brunico (Italy).

This competition, anonymous, in two phases, has been approved by the International Union of Architects (UIA).


PROGRAMME

The competition arose in the framework of the comprehensive upgrading of the transport system of the Pusteria Valley, and the development of local tourism which gave rise to new demands on the part of the Municipality of Brunico, in search of new spaces for offices, leisure and local tourism. The programme is concerned with the upgrading of the railway station and the urban reorganisation of its immediate environs, creating a pole of attraction easily accessible to everyone.

In the first phase (ideas competition), competitors are asked to design the transportation Centre and attached buildings and structures as well as a vast car park for vehicles of various types. They will also have to propose traffic flow systems adapted to the new urban configuration and the new needs of the inhabitants.
