Santuario della Nebbia

“A novel is a dream that asks itself to be written in the same way we fall in love with someone: the dream becomes impossible to resist.”

Bret Easton Ellis, The Shards, 2023

Located at the edge of space, in the midst of the Piemontese Fog, Santuario della Nebbia offers home & refuge to makers, artists, writers, thinkers, scientists ... who —inspired by place and condition—, contribute to & manifest the quest: “How to Engage in Design?”

We trouble the prefix “de” to revaluate our design practice.

“It’s embodied, visceral, refusing to let the word begin unchallanged.”

Hugo

We un-practice notions like solutions, progress & intent from our design actions and become attuned to the emergent, contingent ... and dialogue with Fog.

“I felt the connection there.”

Raisa

We learn how to connect with locality, materiality & commence regenerative builds.

“You can hear them talk to you ... you know them all.”

Martine

“To allow time —the dream— to fall in-synch with what remains of me, in the moment.”
