EDITION ANGEWANDTE SUBLIME VISIONEN - SUSANNE...

In the eighteenth century the Alps became the subject of a new view of nature  which
crystallized in the sublime. Oscillating between fear and fascination  this sensual experience
triggered a thrilling borderline experience: travelers ventured to the mountain world full of
longing and projected a variety of different dreams onto the wild nature that had yet to be
explored. To what extent has the sublime influenced architecture in the Alps  from the early
days of tourism to the present? Prompted by this question  the author analyzes Alpine
architecture in its historical context and offers a critical assessment of contemporary
tourism. This is a book that inspires us to reflect on the future of building in the Alps and
on our relationship with nature.
