BERGISEL-SPRUNGSCHANZE
Bauzeit: 1998–2002
Planung: Zaha Hadid Architects
Mit der Sprungschanze auf dem Bergisel erhielt das Stadt-
bild von Innsbruck eine weithin sichtbare „landmark“. Die
verschiedenen funktionalen Elemente der Schanze wur-
den von Hadid zu einer bewegten Skulptur verschmolzen,
einer eleganten und zeichenhaften Figur, die als technisch
und formal präzis gestaltetes Sportgerät die Dynamik des
Skispringens symbolisiert. Im Sprungturm befindet sich ein
Panoramacafé samt Terrasse, die einen atemberaubenden
Blick auf die Tiroler Hauptstadt und die umliegenden Berge
verspricht.
BERGISEL SKI JUMP
Construction time: 1998-2002
Design: Zaha Hadid Architects
With the Bergisel Ski Jump the city of Innsbruck received a ma-
jor landmark. The architect has created a flowing ensemb-
le that unites the static element of the tower and the dynamic
form of the ramp into a sculptural whole. A café is integrated
into the tower and offers a panoramic view of the landscape as
well as a sight of the sporting events taking place beneath it.
T
o be exposed to such a multi-layered ar-
chitectural time journey in a relatively
small region, might be quite surprising
for one or the other Tyrol visitor. Cutting-ed-
ge buildings appear suddenly in between tra-
dition-steeped farms, castles or historic town
houses that reflect the history of the country.
The former times’ splendour persists next to
contemporary structures of the modern alpine
architecture. These contrasts constantly breathe
new life into the pulsating city of Innsbruck and
inspire innovations. Over the last years, a large
number of new buildings has appeared which
meet the needs of modern life and at the same
time represent interesting eye-catchers.
In terms of modern architecture, Tyrol is keeping
pace with the times. In recent years, a series of
modern buildings from local as well as interna-
tional architects has gained international reco-
gnition. Innovative and brave concepts demons-
trate that Tyrol doesn’t only stand for tradition
but also for acceptance and mastering of new
challenges. The following small overview with
a selection of implemented projects intends to
awake the reader’s curiosity to go on an archi-
tectural tour.

BILDING. SCHOOL FOR ART AND ARCHITECTURE
FOR CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE
Design: students, aut. architektur und tirol
In Innsbruck’s Rapoldipark, bilding received its own house, which was designed
and built by the students of the University of Innsbruck. The pavilion-like workshop
building provides the optimal spaciousness for artistic works and at the same time
enriches the park with its unique architectonical structure. Extended terraces and
ceiling high glass fronts connect the curved structure with its surroundings, while
the interior’s sloped walls and floors create a flowing continuum of rooms with dif-
ferent atmospheres.
