BASIS Vinschgau–Venosta & Drusus Kaserne

Creating sustainable models and prototypes of temporary living spaces at BASIS Vinschgau Venosta. These can be mobile and modular as well as designed into one of the buildings (palazzina tagliamento). 

What we would like to achieve:

  • Prototype the reuse of the palazzina tagliamento, where we currently have the arts and handicraft ateliers (half of the building)
  • Building own tiny houses (in the space immediately in front of the building/ at garden behind BASIS)

Examples:

  • “Rückkehrer-Agentur”: housing model for people who wait until the construction of their own house is done
  • Rest-Residency
  • Research-Residencies
  • Eco-Social Design Hostel: small private, temporary space, very good quality of materials and services 

Who will benefit?

  • Local Society
  • People who are coming back from abroad
  • Researchers
  • Local Economy

What Challenges we see:
