"Bivouac Fanton - Section" by Alberto Mottola Simone Gobbo
 Davide De Marchi 

The Forcella Marmarole orography offers a unique opportunity to amplify the space, to read and immerse yourself in a deep alpine dimension. The Bivacco Fanton is positioned in this extreme environment, without mediation: it’s a measured architecture immersed in a boundless space at 2667 meters above sea level. In this dimension, the space survives in a context made of rock, light, wind, snow and distances. High-altitude architecture takes on an extreme meaning: everything seems to expand in the perception of the extended space. The architecture of the Bivacco Fanton is based on the act of inhabiting the oblique space, tracing the line of tension trying to create a new balance to withstand the unfavourable conformation of the mountain. Here man and architecture live in symbiosis the overhang, they inhabit it by resting on it and breathing the hypnotic power of deep space.
