A Neuve Twin Pavilions

PAVILLIONS BONATTI & VENDREDI A COLLABORATIVE PROJECT BY THE SWISS ALPINE CLUB – SECTION DIABLERETS & EAST-EPFL A NEUVE

The alpine landscape witnesses its own constant mutation. These changes operate not only on the landscape but it also affects all kind of alpine facilities. Working closely with the Swiss Alpine Club, Section Diablerets, the aim of the studio was to rescue and reactivate the A Neuve hut, built in 1926, at 2’735m height, in the Valais region. The research developed the idea of an alpine promenade from La Fouly village to the hut. Free from programmatic demands, students were free to create new programs, transform or even extend the actual hut. After a competition, all the studio joined around the wining project and two life-sized mock-ups were built and exhibited at the campus. Since July 2017 both get translocated to La Fouly at Camping des Glaciers for longterm testing.
