TOURIST DEVELOPMENT OF A FORT
A strong emotional bond links inhabitants for Gex region to their fort. This living territory, destroyed, rebuilt, extended, changed a lot with time and history. Every time there was peace its territorial influence grew. This social and cultural attractiveness is something to highlight. Gabion, even if nowadays we see it more tight to landscape and civil engineering, is nevertheless deeply rooted in military architecture. By using it the project can strike a chord with the rocks, the surroundings, the building. The installation will be done with dry components that can be found around with the will of not disturbing. A second for these left-out stones, a new story for the fort, built again on itself.
