Rhetorical figures of an Alpine hut

The chapter discusses the following rhetorical figures that raise from the design of a high altitude refuge located in an active quarry: how to live the world of technological contemporaneity; Identity of the places and the outward or peripheral existence from which it is possible to gather a redefinition of the so-called “non-places” and of being “whatever”; the summit as a place of privileged perception of “seeing above” that puts us in that particular position to project, to see ahead, to design; renunciation of the material world in order to find oneself or to relocate oneself in the world beyond individualism and mass individualism; the limit as a threshold and region of multimodality through which the possibilities of non-belonging are opened; aesthetic perception and experience in general as background conditions to know place and as an unamendable clause of verification against the ineluctability of rational speech.
