This research delves into the Maginot fortifications of the Second World War in Maurienne, a region nestled in the French Alps. The objective is to unravel the layers of this war heritage examining collected narratives to comprehend its material existence. Focusing on a distinctive architectural object within a specific geographical area, this study aims to provide a profound understanding of the interconnections between the physical integrity of heritage and its ethnographic narratives. In particular, the research focuses on the expression of human perception regarding architecture. The project explores ways to reconnect with forgotten heritage in a large-scaled environnement through the creation of a cultural path.

Sheltering the mountains
Tracing the human behaviour in wild environnement through high-altitude Architecture from the 17th century to present day
'Sheltering the Mountains' investigates and discusses the relationship between humans and the natural environment through the lens of high-altitude architecture. Focusing on a specific period from the 17th century to the present day, the research traces the development of architectural techniques used in extreme environments and analyses how they reflect and shape human behaviour towards nature.
Through an interdisciplinary approach that combines architectural and mountaineering history, environmental psychology, and anthropology, this thesis investigates the interconnections between architecture and human adaptation to the challenges posed by high-altitude environments. Drawing on a range of case studies, including mountain shelters, refuges and observatories, the research demonstrates how the Alps have become a tourist destination and its significance for our relationship with nature.
In addition to analysing the functional aspects of high-altitude architecture, this thesis explores the aesthetic and symbolic dimensions of these structures. It argues that architecture in extreme environments not
only serves practical purposes, but also embodies cultural and social values, and reflects broader attitudes towards nature and the environment.
The research concludes by reflecting on the lessons that can be drawn from the history of high-altitude architecture for contemporary debates about sustainable architecture and the relationship between humans and the natural world. It suggests that a deeper understanding of the ways in which architecture and the environment interact can inform the design of more effective and sustainable solutions for evolving in extreme environments, and contribute to a more harmonious relationship between humans and nature. ...
