Abstract

Holes and hollow spaces are one of the refuges fundamentals families able to establishing relational rela¬tionships with the matter. Architecture as refuge is one of the first forms of generating spaces for living in an extreme condition, required thicknesses to accommodate specific human places in the mountains orographic slopes. Architecture as refuge is cavities to protect, composition of elements designed to con¬fine, a space designed for rest, thinking, contemplating, for the emotions in relationship with others by self. In the collective imagination, the natural refuge is a minimal space, niche, grotto, burrow, cave. In architecture, the refuge is made “by remove”, dig, drill, enlarge, look through, hide. The wall becomes a limit in which to accommodate parasites voids, refuge walls. Host walls and parasites holes, for necessity. To take the theme of limit space as experimentation filed for the project, means to reflect on early archi¬tectural measures, such as a dialogue between full and empty elements, from the basic operations of unveiling and revealing, glow and shadow, sound and wind, and invisibility, transparency and perception, human faces projected in the construction of the refuge walls inside a so marginal measure. Massive walls, edge limit and thickness with variable section, mono material solids, free of facade, are the figures of an architecture that works for empty grafts, refuge space generator of living the limit.
