Abstract

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.
