Extraordinary architecture, intoxicating mountain meadows, delicate design, outstanding handicraft: the journey goes to Vorarlberg!

At the beginning, Verena Konrad, director of the Vorarlberg Architecture Institute, welcomes us, leads us into the exhibition rooms and speaks introductory words about the remarkable architecture scene in the westernmost state of Austria. The core of the tour is a detailed program in the Bregenzerwald, where the unique interplay of architecture and craftsmanship typical of the region can be experienced in four village tours and a high-alpine detour. Walks and hikes lead to extravagant bus shelters, chapels, private houses and museums, which combine the highest quality in their architecture and design as a common denominator. Thomas Geisler, Managing Director of the Werkraum Bregenzerwald, leads into the center of craftsmanship and its practically built manifesto.

The corresponding culinary background is provided by the finest regional products and their exquisite preparation in the excellent kitchens of local companies. The tour ends with a special tour of the Kunsthaus Bregenz and then offers time for individual explorations, such as in the Bregenz old town on Sundays or on the shores of Lake Constance.
