Palast fur Bozen

Deriving from the flux inherent to the built environment, HOV explores the dynamics of human emotion through physical space.

The Concept

Contrast and contradictions existent in the built surround inspire HOV to explore the concept of a structure whose architectural language, in all its boldness, is reflective of the very functions it accommodates. The idea of a drastic and alluring building, whose destination is as brave, led the architects to design an amusement center with love as a central theme. A Palace for the Night is thus envisaged as an experience that independently defines itself, imposing its own conditions through a strong formal vocabulary that derives from the sensual.
