The Plima gorge is an impressive gorge carved by the Plima river over millennia at the foot of the Cevedale mountain. As soon as people started talking about making the gorge accessible, they thought of building a series of bridges, footbridges and stairs inside it. We, however, were agaist this method of intervention, convinced that building in the gorge would not be the right way to make visitors understand the charm of this place. Only by observing it from above can one grasp its beauty. We identified four viewpoints along the edge of the gorge, where we created four structures that offer the visitors different experiences: the „ladle“ takes them beyond the edge and down into the gorge, bringing them as close as possible to the water, the „sickle“ leads them right along the edge, allowing them to experience the precipice, in a very direct way, and the 'pulpit' leans visitors far out over and above the gorge’s edge. At the end of the path, a suspension bridge makes it possible to cross the gorge, joining the two paths that run along its sides.
The real challenge of this intervention was to design the viewpoints in such a way to ensure safe access, while at the same time preserving that 'thrill' feeling one gets when approaching the gorge.
The four elements constitute true sculptural objects designed to experience the gorge: they allow us to perceive its depth, the harshness of the rock faces, the violence of the water, the light, the scents. The new structures mediate between the visitor and the landscape, between man and nature.
