阿尔多·弗拉蒂尼高山庇护所丨意大利丨EX.

贝加莫现代与当代艺术馆（GAMeC）与意大利阿尔卑斯俱乐部（CAI）贝加莫分会欣然揭晓：由EX.设计、为“奥罗比耶双年展”打造的新建筑——阿尔多·弗拉蒂尼高山庇护所。这座庇护所是GAMeC最极端的前哨站。这是一次前所未有的合作，让文化机构与自然环境产生了真正的交汇。它不是画廊，也不举办展览。它的功能更为纯粹而激进：永远开放、永远庇护，成为山中的一处脆弱而守护的存在。

GAMeC and the Bergamo Section of the Italian Alpine Club (CAI) are delighted to reveal a first look at the new Aldo Frattini Bivouac, designed by EX. for The Orobie Biennial. The newly revealed Frattini Bivouac is GAMeC’s most extreme outpost; a project which is a collaboration never seen before between an institution and a site in nature. It is not a gallery and will not host exhibitions. Its function is simpler and more radical: to remain always open, always protective, a fragile presence up on the mountains.

对于登山者，它依然是奥罗比耶高山步道上的一处安全停靠点与避难所；对于GAMeC，它则是高山之上的文化卫星，让文化通过建筑本身得以呈现。庇护所悬浮于艺术与生存之间，象征着人类与自然世界之间那份微妙而脆弱的对话。

For mountaineers it is still a refuge —a safe pause on the Alta Via delle Orobie Bergamasche. For GAMeC it is a satellite in the high Alps, where culture is expressed not through displays but through architecture it self. Yet it is suspended between art and survival; the bivouac embodies the fragile dialogue between humans and the natural world.

庇护所位于海拔约2,300米的塞里亚纳谷（Val Seriana），坐落在奥罗比耶贝加莫高山步道沿线。周围是参差的山峰、岩石斜坡、高山牧场与雪原——这片纯净的自然区域以其原生态环境与丰富的动植物多样性而著称，也是众多登山者与徒步者的必经之地。新庇护所在Fondazione Cariplo基金会和Fondazione della Comunità Bergamasca基金会的支持下建成，定位为GAMeC的“高山基地”，一种文化性的高海拔存在。它是永久性的庇护与休憩空间，虽不举办展览或活动，却以建筑本身在阿尔卑斯山景中展开一场独特的美学对话。

Located at around 2,300 meters above sea level along the Alta Via delle Orobie Bergamasche in Val Seriana, the bivouac sits in a landscape defined by jagged peaks, rocky slopes, alpine pastures, and snowfields. A particularly evocative area due to its pristine nature and the variety of flora and fauna typical of mountain environments — and a pl ace of passage for many hikers and climbers. The new structure, realized with the support of Fondazione Cariplo and Fondazione della Comunità Bergamasca , is conceived as a high -altitude “base” for GAMeC : a cultural presence in the mountains, a permanent shelter and resting point that, while not hosting exhibitions or events, offers a unique aesthetic experience in dialogue with the alpine landscape.

由EX.设计的新庇护所是一座轻质可逆、技术先进的避难结构。其造型呼应传统高山帐篷的形态，唤起早期登山探险精神，同时尽量降低对环境的影响。项目与意大利历史悠久的户外装备品牌Ferrino合作，采用创新纺织“外皮”，具有极高的耐候性能。

The new structure designed by EX. is envisioned as a lightweight, reversible, and technologically advanced shelter . Its form recalls the shape of a classic alpine tent , evoking the spirit of early high -mountain exploration, and aims to minimize environmental impact. Created in collaboration with Ferrino — a historic Italian company with expertise in outdoor equipment —the structure is covered with an innovative textile “skin”, designed for resistance to atmospheric agents.

该庇护所是首个在高山环境中落成的永久性应急纺织结构，是结合可持续性、快速组装与空间高效性的实验性原型。其专为此项目研发的构造系统使得庇护所在极端环境中也可快速安装，其总重仅2,500公斤，占地面积约2.5平方米。建筑尺寸为3.75×2.60×2.60米，紧凑而流线的外形体现了功能优先与低环境影响的设计理念。内部采用天然软木覆层，兼具热与声隔离性能，营造出温暖而沉浸的氛围。

The new bivouac represents the first permanent emergency textile structures in an alpine environment : an experimental prototype combining sustainability, rapid assembly, and spatial efficiency. The construction system, developed specifically for this project, allows installation in extreme contexts thanks to a total weight of just 2,500 kg and a minimal footprint of approximately 2.5 square meters . Its compact size (3.75 x 2.60 x 2.60 m) and tapered shape reflect a design approach focused on functionality and low environmental impact. The interior is lined with natural cork , providing both thermal and acoustic insulation and creating a warm, immersive atmosphere.

庇护所可容纳9人，设有环形长凳与可折叠床铺。其灵感来自登山用的悬挂睡台，并可在紧急情况下转化为担架。这展现了它既是避难所又是生存工具的双重身份：一座人类在极端环境中的“驿站”。内部由顶部采光，呈现丰富的感官体验：软木的气味、被包裹的静谧，以及天窗与舷窗间滤入的光线，共同营造出一种悬浮、几近冥想的氛围。

Designed to accommodate up to nine people , the bivouac features perimeter benches and foldable beds inspired by alpine portaledges , which can also be converted into emergency stretchers. A solution that highlights the dual nature of the structure: both a refuge and a survival tool —a human station in an extreme environment. The interior space, lit from above, offers a rich sensory experience : the scent of cork, the muffled silence, and the light filtering in from a skylight and two panoramic portholes create a suspended, almost meditative atmosphere.

设计灵感来自Lloyd Kahn与Bob Easton于 1973 年出版的《Shelter》一书——那是一本礼赞轻质、自建与临时性居所的经典之作。正如书中那些脆弱的棚屋与帐篷，新的弗拉蒂尼庇护所将“无常”与“适应性”视为核心品质。同时，设计也借鉴了Stewart Brand与Frank Duffy的“剪切层”理论——将建筑视为一个持续演化的系统。从这一角度看，庇护所并非一个封闭的终点，而是一座“活的”可逆结构，能够顺应山地不断变化的极端条件。

The design is inspired by Shelter (1973) by Lloyd Kahn and Bob Easton —a book celebrating lightweight, self -built, and temporary dwellings. Like the fragile huts and tents depicted in those pages, the new Frattini Bivouac embraces impermanence and adaptability as essential qualities. At the same time, the project draws on the theory of “shearing layers,” developed by Stewart Brand and Frank Duffy, which views architecture as a system of continuously evolving parts. From this perspective, the bivouac is not a finished object, but a living, reversible structure, able to adapt to the extreme and ever -changing conditions of the mountain.

新的弗拉蒂尼庇护所还将兼作科学观测站。它配备环境传感器，可实时采集周边高山生态系统的数据。这一功能使庇护所不仅象征“脆弱”，更将其化为“关怀”的行动——通过持续的环境监测与守护。数据将回传至GAMeC总部，形成山地与城市之间的持续信息流动。通过这座庇护所，GAMeC进一步强化了其对可持续发展的承诺——这是“像山一样思考”计划的核心方向。

The new Frattini Bivouac will also function as a scientific outpost . Equipped with environmental sensors, it will collect real -time data on the surrounding alpine ecosystem. This integration transforms the bivouac into an active tool for environmental monitoring and protection, extending the concept of fragility into a ge sture of care and observation. The data collected will be transmitted to GAMeC headquarters, creating an ongoing flow of information between the mountain environment and the city. With the new Frattini Bivouac, GAMeC strengthens its commitment to sustainability —a path that has been central to the Thinking Like a Mountain project.

与传统展览空间不同，这一介入提出了在高海拔地区“栖居”的新方式：不是征服，而是倾听；不是永恒建造，而是探索可能。它既是一场建筑实验，也是一种文化思考——为建筑与当代创造在偏远自然景观中的角色开辟了新的视野。

Far from traditional exhibition spaces, this intervention proposes a new way of inhabiting high altitudes : not to dominate, but to listen; not to build forever, but to design what is possible. A gesture that is both an architectural challenge and a cultural reflection — one that opens new horizons on the role of architecture and contemporary creativity in remote landscapes.
