An alpine Hyprid is a multifunctional building. It is the aim of this applied research to develop suitable combinations of function, conceive utilization concepts specially designed for the Alpine area and implement a reference plant.

A new form of relationship between nature, society and the economy will become a decisive factor in our living and economic environment. The Alpine environment increasingly demands that we reinforce this relationship, most importantly in terms of Alpine infrastructures. It should become possible to integrate the different necessary functionalities in one structure. The research partnership formed by alpS, LAAC and partners from the industrial sector has been undertaking this mission and set itself the goal of maintaining both the ecological and economic value the natural environment presents for the living and economic environment of Alpine regions.
It is the aim of this applied research to develop suitable combinations of function, conceive utilization concepts specially designed for the Alpine area and implement a reference plant. Due to the diversity of Alpine hybrids, their integration in the natural environment requires a sensitive and methodical approach.
