The workshop explores the future of Alpine shelters as cultural and environmental strongholds. Promoted by the Club Alpino Italiano, the discussion addresses three key themes: preserving the authentic identity of refuges distinct from hotels, promoting sustainability through shared environmental standards, and fostering architectural innovation that harmonizes with the Alpine landscape.
