Passpartù: Othmar Barth

With his work, architect Othmar Barth laid the foundation for a building culture that is still considered a point of reference for South Tyrolean architectural language today: his focus was on the avant-garde and innovation. In recent years, the South Tyrolean architectural language has developed into a flourishing and increasingly innovative design and a love of experimentation. One person who has played a key role in this development is the architect Othmar Barth, whose buildings are characterised by their timelessness. Not only after his death in 2010, but also during his lifetime, the forms and concepts of the buildings he designed between the 1960s and 1980s revolutionised the concept of architecture in our country. His work is synonymous with buildings that tell a story of profound change. It is an architecture that is always open, that can always be redrawn with new eyes.
