Today’s sketch of the day in my moleskine art journal is the humble refuge prefab cabin by architect Giovanni Pesamosca commissioned by the Vuerich family. It is a tribute to their son, Italian mountainaneer Luca Vuerich who displayed courage and resilience. This cabin is free for anyone who to seek refuge and was completed prefabricated and flown there by helicopter. It is located on the ceria merlone trail in the Julian Alps, Italy about 2500m above sea level on the Foronon del Buinz Mountain.
I read this article in the malaysian airlines inflight magazine and was deeply moved by it.

This was intriguing so I looked up the climber and he was caught in an avalanche in 2010. The story about the tribute to him by family and friends is a loving one. Emotional and beautiful picture, for it catches the sadness and the honor!
