Award: Honorable Mention
Project location: Aconcagua, Argentina
Since ancient times humans have had a strong affinity for the tranquility and isolation of nature that offers peace, tranquility and breathtaking views. The circle and the fire are linked to architecture, due to the relationship they have with humans as a symbol of coexistence and meeting. The project seeks to preserve the place through a flexible and agile but protected architecture. The slight touch and implementation of these primitive elements in the fragile landscape fulfills the function of providing the necessary spaces to allow accommodation for the climbers. The choice to produce a modular and prefabricated structure offers many advantages, reduces costs in production and assembly, allows easy transportation of components.
