In 2015 Bozen Province announced a competition to rebuild the mountain hut “Petrarca” which was destroyed by an avalanche. Our proposal integrates the hut in the rock of the mountain. The new volume is treated as rock-sediments-like layers that become the continuation of the mountain. The north side - more exposed to avalanche danger – is attached to the mountain's rock face in order to make the snow slide above the hut's roof in case of avalanche.
