Schatzalp Davos. Constant Transformation
A historical, cultural, and architectural journey to one of Switzerland’s major landmarks in the heart of the Swiss Alps: the Schatzalp in Davos. Opened in 1900 as a pioneering sanatorium for lung diseases, the Art Nouveau building complex was later transformed into a luxury hotel. This publication traces that evolution, both architecturally and historically, explores Davos, and offers a glimpse into a renowned corner of Switzerland. Beautifully illustrated, the volume provides an exclusive look behind the scenes and sheds light on the past, present, and future of the historic building on the «Zauberberg». It introduces projects from research, teaching, and professional practice that combine architectural history and heritage conservation with innovative concepts, sustainability, and state-of-the-art technology. The unique building and its exceptional history offer a compelling example of a forward-looking approach to the preservation and maintenance of architectural heritage.
