Intro

MOUNTAIN GUARDIAN – ARCHITECTURE COMPETITION

Participants will work on the design of an alpine bivouac immersed in the wonderful natural context of Stelvio National Park (Italy).

The aim of this competition is to creatively address the experience of living the high-altitude lands, exploring historical, marginal and extreme situations of the alpine environment, rethinking the canons of the relationship between man and nature based on concepts such as responsibility, respect and sustainability.

The project aims to explore a unique architectural typology – the bivouac – essentially based on a temporary accommodation in close connection with wild nature. Nowadays, it is commonly believed that living the high mountains should be intimately linked to a more contemporary design approach.

FAQs

At TerraViva, we believe that the integrity and recognition of an artist’s work are as important as the work itself.

Moral rights are the exclusive rights granted by the law to the author in order to protect his personality. Such rights are inalienable, indefeasible and can never be given up. They are independent from the economic rights resulting from the creation of the work, even after the transfer of such rights to third parties.

Such right of authorship may be exercised at any time by the author (art. 20 of Italian Copyright Law). Complete terms and conditions are available on Terms & Conditions.
