A Beacon in Mulegns
The White Tower, a 24m high structure using 3D printed concrete, is situated along the Julier mountain pass in the remote village of Mulegns, Switzerland. It aims to bring new life to a village in decline. It tells of the rich cultural history of Mulegns and its surroundings. As a cultural destination, it promotes gentle yet substantial tourism. Large parts of the tower will be built using an on-site fabrication lab. Thus, the tower brings valuable digital skills to the mountain regions and advances local trade.
The White Tower, with its idiosyncratic openings, appears as a lantern at night and becomes a lighthouse set along old Julier Pass road. With its spectacular architecture and groundbreaking technology, the White Tower acts as a beacon and haven for travellers on the Julier Pass. As a new cultural destination, it welcomes visitors from the region and far beyond.
