Abstract
Focusing on Rifugio Carducci, an alpine hut in Dolomiti, Italy, this graduation project researched the interrelationships between user, building, and environment, designing an expansion and renovation project with the aim of making the refuge an integral and positive part of its ecosystem. The project proposes the of hydrogen as main energy carrier, given the availability of rainwater and highly efficient solar panel thanks to the altitude. The hut's renovation is achieved through prefabricated timber elements aimed at sheltering the shelter.
