NOI Techpark Bruneck

The NOI Techpark Bruneck is a science and technology park where companies, institutions, and universities collaborate on research and development projects. Guided by the core concept of the NOI strategy “Nature of Innovation,” the park fosters networking, collaboration, sustainability, and adaptability.

The building accommodates five users with diverse needs: Automotive Excellence Südtirol, Free University of Bolzano-Bozen, Nobis event center, coworking space, and restaurant. The strategic positioning of the building volumes along the fault line, coupled with topographically differentiated outdoor spaces on two levels, facilitates seamless integration into the urban context. The entrance faces the forecourt, while the lower square serves as an urban foyer for the event space behind it.

The load-bearing reinforced concrete structure is enveloped by vertically twisted concrete slats, providing a cohesive aesthetic that integrates the building’s various functions. Additionally, a hydrogen storage system is incorporated to promote awareness of hydrogen technology and store surplus electricity from the photovoltaic system, enabling off-grid island operation.
