- Banca del Fare, Castelletto Uzzone, Italy
Through an approach that combines theory on carpentry techniques, participatory design and self-construction, work will be done on the definition of stopping, observation and orientation points, conceived not only as functional elements, but also as spatial devices capable of interacting with the landscape and guiding the gaze along the way.
The entire process, from the conceptual phase to implementation, will be oriented toward finding solutions capable of dialoguing with the natural environment, using local wood. The goal is to develop sensitive and conscious design that combines aesthetics, functionality and respect for the land, offering new ways of interaction between built space and the hiking environment.
