MoDusArchitects recently completed project - a new gateway to the small city of Bressanone, South Tyrol, in Italy - eschews the technical, functional design vocabulary typically offered up in the design of infrastructure.
.
Created as part of the Bressanone-Varna Ring Road, a series of connect, largely underground roads with the aim to reduce traffic volume, the mouth of this new tunnel is almost sculptural in form, thanks to its curvilinear design.
