Description

The use of protective measures against natural hazards is a key factor in alpine culture.

It is surprising that discussion of this is conducted internally, but scarcely perceived by the public.

A synopsis of the protective architecture, the perceived image of the Alps, and the slow process of adapting public images to the condition of the structures brings together what has been considered separately in the past.

That is, the landscapes consumed by tourists must first be stabilised at considerable cost.

This book shows how the production of safety zones is effective in the field of tension between aesthetics and technology and offers perspectives on landscape that extend beyond the assumed unspoilt quality of nature. Interdisciplinary study explaining image production relating to safety architectures in the Alps for the cultural exploitation of service-providing landscapes Tapping into a broad field of image documents Instructive contribution to the topic of "political landscape"
