TerraViva launches MOUNTAIN GUARDIAN, a new architecture competition that invites the participants to 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.
