Journey to Salzburg 2024 - Excursion report
At the end of October, architecture students from the Brno FA BUT and Liberec FUA TUL went to the fourth largest city in Austria. People usually visit Salzburg (Solnohrad) because of the birthplace of W.A. Mozart and the picturesque historic centre, which has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997. In context, Salzburg could be compared to Český Krumlov or is also known as the Rome of the North. Our expedition focused primarily on contemporary architecture, but of course we could not ignore the work of the most important Austrian representative of the radical baroque. From J.B. Fischer of Erlach we saw a total of seven works in Salzburg, which, although built more than three centuries ago, still offer timeless considerations of the representation of space and sophisticated interconnection of building elements. The possibility of direct confrontation and placement in the local context is the most feasible way to understand the architecture without unnecessarily complex interpretations. However, the Austrian city located at the foot of the Alps does not only rely on its history, but invests in infrastructure development (main train station with cycle parking by kadawittefeldarchitektur, 2014), education (Unipark Nonntal by Storch Ehlers Partner, 2011) or leisure activities (Paraceslus spa house by Berger+Parkkinen, 2020). In addition to the museum buildings, you can encounter works by international artists such as Fritz Wotruba, Anselm Kiefer, Giacomo Manzu, Markus Lüpertz, James Turrell or Tony Gragg directly in the streets or squares.Another area generously supported by the city is culture, not only in the form of the Mönchsberg Museum of Modern Art (Friedrich Hoff Zwink, 2004), but especially the Salzburg Music Festival, which is attended by tens of thousands of classical music fans during the summer holidays.
