The Timmelsjoch Experience, Brenner Pass, Italy, 2010 designed by Werner Tscholl Architects

The concrete structure on the North Tyrolean side juts out like an erratic boulder into the South Tyrolean side, underlining the cross-border nature of the Timmelsjoch Experience. The “Ice Cave” inside the museum pays tribute to the pioneers of the High Alpine Road and their remarkable accomplishment. -- ArchDaily

Almazan Main Square, Almazán, Soria, Spain designed by ch+qs arquitectos

Important point of the proposal were the two new viewpoints that  “sew” the square with the beautiful surrounding landscape: one in San Miguel of the wall, with access from the Main Square, overlooking the landscape, and another on the river Duero, with access from Round River which completes the action in perimeter zones. Like the ladder, the viewpoints in the scene were conceived as timeless architectural elements. The choice of wood as main material and the use of a cantilevered structure that minimizes contact with existing buildings, enabling integration of these new buildings respecting the historical perspective of Almazan. -- ArchDaily
