The masi are the equivalent of farms in the Alpine area of the
Dolomites (Sudtirol/Alto Adige in northern Italy). Val Gardena, one
of the valleys of Sudtirol, houses a great number of masi, some
dating back to the thirteenth century. The historical importance of
these farms resides in the richness and variety of their building
techniques and the sheer beauty of their vernacular architecture
perfectly integrated in the stunning landscape of the Dolomites.
Recent socio-economic development and the difficulty to adapt the
older masi to modern needs has endangered them. A movement to map
and preserve these precious witnesses of the material culture of
Val Gardena is taking place. Photographing and exhibiting the
images of these buildings - shedding light on their cultural role,
forms and the architectural elements - in the mountain villages and
later in the Architecture Departments of universities in Italy and
surrounding countries (Austria, Germany) is a way to increase
awareness on the importance of preserving this distinctive
vernacular architecture. Text in Ladin, German, Italian with short
abstracts in English.
