A spatial elegy for ecological loss, deploying architecture as both material reuse and critical commentary, where 1,200 m² are transformed into a luminous and contemplative zone using timber salvaged from forests devastated by fire in the summer of 2025, this dual act of rehabilitation and remembrance unfolds across three programmatic strata—conviviality, retreat, and suspension, structured by a precise choreography of light, texture and silence, the long corridor lined with wire chairs and glowing orbs invites pause and rhythm, suggesting the cadence of an absent forest reimagined in social terms, while the adjacent resting zone, filled with soft seating beneath a gridded canopy, conjures a landscape of cohabitation where the overhead timber surface acts simultaneously as an inverted terrain and as memorial atmosphere, a ceiling that burns gently with diffused amber light, recalling both the violence and the beauty of what was lost, this strategy echoes practices of critical regionalism where architecture becomes the interface between environmental trauma and civic imagination, as seen in the case study of the illuminated sun disc, a direct and symbolic gesture that anchors the space with a celestial presence, evoking a burnt horizon or the persistence of life in the ashes, thus the project stands as a poetic infrastructure, where reused matter acquires narrative weight, mediating between environmental ethics and aesthetic experience, engaging visitors in a sensory negotiation between destruction and hospitality, presence and absence, memory and light.
