A Black Opaque Body at High Altitude
In physics a black body is an ideal object that totally absorbs the energy, re-irradiating it in the surrounding environment. Leaning on a small pass beneath the last slopes near the summit, Bivacco Matteo Corradini is a dark prism with an hexagonal profile, nestled in the alpine landscape. A metal shell capable of protecting it from high altitude extreme weather conditions and absorbing the maximum solar radiation.

The architecture doesn't limit itself to the planning fit but it ends with the realization of the work, and this happens not necessarily before facing the Administrations and the corporations standing around the building trial. The complexity of the relationships and the compromises that there can be at the beginning of an architectural production cannot however justify shortage of the planning commitment and/or the total subjugation to the businessmen and buyers requests: the system that goes from the planning to the realization of the work is always a "social action", it is shared, and in there the responsibility of the architecture must be recognized, to all the levels and in every context.
