In recent years, cultural practices have played a central role in the regeneration of Alpine areas, fostering new ideas of livability and community. No longer confined to the preservation of traditions, culture has become a driver of innovation, promoting skills, local economies, and wellbeing. Schools, cultural centres, and museums act as key infrastructures, integrating educational, social, and societal functions into spaces that are both fluid and adaptable. Architecture responds to these challenges with projects that weave together local and global contexts, tradition and innovation, creating prototypes that encourage intergenerational interaction and territorial development. Culture thus becomes a vehicle for economic, social, and environmental transformation in the Alps, where spaces themselves serve as generators of new communities and visions for the future.
