Text description provided by architect.
A MAP is a whole of symbols recalling territorial concepts. The project is this as well:
A map where takes place an abstract analysis of our territory and the bond established between mountains and human beings during particular circumstances.
A PLATFORM
The strength of our bonds is our base. A map of life. The concepts of belonging, the interweaves and the relations that define a life.
Its and fragility, the solidity and unpredictability of how everything could end.
THE VOIDS
The departure, the abandon of home to fulfill a sacrifice. Every void is a goodbye due to circumstances beyond our control.
Voids left by lost lives. Voids that cannot be filled and they live in the memory.
THE STEMS
Their sacrifice change the meaning and the perception of nature. A map of sacrifice.
The voids – the alpini that left our territory – become part of the mountain which is not just a physical entity anymore but it turns out to be a union between nature and spirit.
The greatness of these mounts is not due just to a mere natural factor but to the blend nature and human beings instead. The left voids gain their new identity blending with the place and giving it a new meaning.
