On the cover, geotextiles installed by locals to reflect sunlight off the Rhône Glacier document the measures the region is taking to combat the ever-visible climate emergency. Inside, you’ll find a 10-page examination of how Avoriaz—once France’s only entirely pedestrianised ski resort—is adapting it’s architecture in response to rising foot-fall driven by depleting snow coverage in lower-altitude resorts, as well as a look into how the ski resorts still afloat are, in effect, \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e‘spurring their own demise’. Elsewhere, existing structures are being repurposed to counter challenging building conditions: a historical chalet now houses Val-d’Illiez’s municipal administration, while Museum Bezau—first transformed from an 18th-century farmhouse in 1920—welcomes a timber-framed extension. Finally, leaf through to the back pages where writer Seán Williams explores replicas of Alpine chalets and villages across the world that feel more kitsch than authentic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOn video\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003emagCulture Meets \u003cem\u003eArchitectural Review\u003c\/em\u003e, recorded at the magCulture Shop on 13 April 2023.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/manage\/videos\/817626465\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eWatch now\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.architectural-review.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003earchitectural-review.com\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"magCulture","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45216563560557,"sku":null,"price":18.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0514\/7889\/files\/TheArchitecturalReview_1531Alps.png?v=1779285710","url":"https:\/\/magculture.com\/products\/the-architectural-review-1531","provider":"magCulture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
