The proposal consists of a very filigree structure made of steel and glass that opens towards the famous Sesto sundial, the largest stone sundial in the world. The big glass facade allows a glimpse of the exhibition area from the outside, in which various informative educative contents are displayed to attract visitors. The new house of the mountains is intended to become an “icon” and a new point of attraction for the entire alpine center.
