The scale of planning and intermunicipal concepts in territorialdevelopment and energy issues within AlpBC hasbeen connected in multiple ways with this actualized roleof Alpine Architecture: in the part of exploring contextualconditions for territorial develepment, in the part of strategicand measure-focussed approaches to planning, and incommunication and education.AlpBC therefore promoted that for sustainable territorial developmentin the Alpine Space, Building has to re-connectthe architecture of houses with planning visions for largerscales - villages, municipalities, valleys. Similar to thechallenges in the profession and professional educationof crafts, the separation of architects’ and planners’ specializations,and also of renovation, high-tech, tourism ecc.experts in a certain regard has to be re-combined towardsa comprehensive professional and academic approach tothe Alpine built environment, that includes not only deeperintegration of specific architecture and crafts abilities andknowledge, but of regional building economies and closedloop systems in a larger sense.
