This project is situated in Longarone, Italy, along the Murazzi retaining wall terraces within the Alpine landscape. Shaped by steep topography and the lasting memory of the Vajont tragedy, the project explores themes of healing, recovery, and environmental transformation within a landscape still marked by water and time. The proposal introduces a rehabilitation and support facility for hikers, integrating accommodation for rescue teams alongside spaces for physical and hydrotherapy.

The design explores the relationship between architecture, landscape, and environmental forces, with water acting as both a therapeutic element and a driver of form and atmosphere. Drawing from traditional Alpine construction, the project combines a stone base with lightweight timber structures and a copper roofscape, where rainwater runoff gradually forms a changing patina across the building over time.
